If you want to get the list of your disks/files/folders in your database as a hard copy, use the reporting features of ADC. Select the Tools|Reports menu item:
Currently, there are two types of report you can select from: Quick report: all files (sorted) and Custom report.
For the first one, the report will contain the sorted list of files (for selected disk or for all disks; for all categories or just for one selected); it will include the disk and folder where each file is located (comma-separated, to allow import in programs like Microsoft Excel):
Filename,Diskname,Location,Size,Date
Just as an example: to open this file in Microsoft Excel, you can use Text Import Wizard. Just set the following parameters:
Original Data Type: Delimited
Start Import at Row: 6 (to ignore ADC header included in the report)
File Origin: Windows (ANSI)
Delimiters: Comma
Column Data Format: General (for all columns)
After importing, you’ll need to change the format of the last column: set the Category to Date, and adjust the Type according to your system locale settings.
For the second – custom – report, the customization is available. You can also select the disk and category; but in addition, the report may include information about any combination of disks, folders and files – just check the appropriate box. Usually, just the file/folder name is printed, or you may wish to include the Location field and Comments.
Then, select the file name to be used as output (type yourself or browse using standard Windows dialog; if the extension is not given, txt is assumed), and press the Report button. When the report will be generated, you’ll be able to open it (with Windows Notepad, WordPad or other program associated with text files) or print.
