Is this possible to do in Windows?
On 13 May 2015, Wildman wrote in
alt.windows7.general: I don't know of a Linux file manager that has the ability to directly print a folder listing OOTB. However, most of the file managers allow for custom actions to be added to the right-click context menu so that functionality could easily be added. ....The "custom action" most likely being a script, so you're back at the command line again. Windows also has this ability, via batch files or scripts and Explorer's "Send To" context menu option. |

Not exactly. A single command is executed by the file manager to carry out the custom action in a similar way that Windows does it. In either case there is no "command line". In Linux most of the custom actions are executed using an external program that was installed as part of the OS and runs in the background. -- Wildman GNU/Linux user #557453 The cow died so I don't need your bull! |

| People who care about these things
| usually learn console commands, learn scripting, | or find their own collection of little utility programs | that will do what they want. | | yes, this is exactly what I did ages ago, during MS-DOS times, around 1989- | 1992 | | I had .BAT files for almost everything It sounds like you're doing something similar with Total Commander now. That makes sense to me. The people who I help with their computers usually want an email program, AV, a browser and maybe MS Word. I doubt there's any market among the general public for function like Edit - Print File List. |
