Re: View list of file names, select for import -

I want a list of all files within this directory, including its creation date, file size and file name. On the Mac I would just start a proper shell script and import this result. Then I could mark all matching files (which were already imported before) and present a list of files which were not yet imported. |
and import the result.
You can also use a plugin such as Troi File, an FTP plugin (if you
already happen to have one) or the free Moo plugin (mooplug.com)

On WIndows you can also just run a proper shell command (dir > filename) and import the result. And I can call this script directly from within a FMP script? |
may need more flags to get the entire list rather than just one screen's
worth; you'll have to do some testing):
"cmd dir c:\TheFolder\TheSubFolder\*.* > c:\ExportedDir.txt"

Yes, using the Send Event script step, something like this (though you may need more flags to get the entire list rather than just one screen's worth; you'll have to do some testing): "cmd dir c:\TheFolder\TheSubFolder\*.* > c:\ExportedDir.txt" |
something like:
"cmd /k dir c:\TheFolder\TheSubFolder\*.* > c:\ExportedDir.txt"
/k will leave the CMD shell window open after it runs, whereas /c will
close it after it's done.
