DEFAULTLIST

/S

(no value)

Example: Print DEFAULTLIST

ENCODING

/K

ansi

When printing a folder listing to a file, specifies that ANSI encoding should be used. This is the default encoding type initially, but if the Print Folder dialog is used in interactive mode it will remember the last encoding type manually selected. Using this argument lets you override the last used encoding type.
 

Example: PRINT FOLDER TO /desktop/dirprint.txt ENCODING=ansi QUIET

 

 

utf8

Sets the encoding type to UTF8 with a BOM (Byte Order Mark).
 

Example: PRINT FOLDER TO /desktop/dirprint.txt ENCODING=bom QUIET

 

 

utf8nobom

Sets the encoding type to UTF8 without a BOM.
 

Example: PRINT FOLDER TO /desktop/dirprint.txt ENCODING=utf8nobom

FILTER

/K

<filter>

Use a filter when printing the contents of sub-folders (via the FLATVIEW argument). This can be the name of a filter you have previously created via the File Operations \ Filters page in Preferences, or it can be a simple wildcard pattern to filter by filename.

Example: Print FOLDER FILTER *.jpg FLATVIEW=nofolders QUIET

FLATVIEW

/K

no

Do not print the contents of sub-folders when printing a folder listing.

Example: Print FOLDER FLATVIEW=no QUIET

 

 

mixed

Prints the contents of sub-folders in "mixed" mode. This mixes files and folders together in a flat list.

Example: Print FOLDER FLATVIEW=mixed TO clip QUIET

 

 

nofolders

Example: Print FOLDER FLATVIEW=nofolders QUIET

 

 

grouped

Prints the contents of sub-folders in "grouped" mode. Files and folders are indented to reflect the tree hierarchy.

Example: Print FOLDER TO /desktop/dirtree.txt FLATVIEW=grouped QUIET

FOLDER

Specify the font to use when printing to the printer.

The FORAMT argument also accepts the following special keywords:

  • !current: Use the file display's current format, including any ad-hoc edits made to it.

  • !default: Use the Folder Type format applicable to current folder. For example, Network Drives if it's a network drive.

  • !factory: Use the hardcoded factory-default format.

  • !folder: Use the format for the current folder. This is generally the format you would get when opening the current folder in a new window.

  • !user: Use the User Default format.

Example: Print FOLDER FORMAT=!current QUIET
