I've done a reasonably good search, but can't find what I need. I've
downloaded Karen's Directory Printer... very good, but doesn't list the
CORRECT creation date for my photos.
Scenario: copied a batch of photos to cd, 2 so one can go offsite, checked
the cds read/opened files ok, then deleted all (and emptied recycle bin...
space needed). Didn't notice until I went to do dir list of the cd (to print
& keep with cd) that the dates were those of when copied to cd. Can still see
all properties in right-click, properties, summary but how the **** do I get
this info into a listing? Can do command prompt DOS listings (a breeze), and
import/edit in Excel, but still doesn't give the CORRECT creation date, or
any info like dimensions, etc.
Can anyone help, please?

Hi,

This is possible using Windows Scripting

Thanks Ramesh. It looks way too complicated, but I'll look through it.

You're welcome Kristine. BTW, I've modified David's code little bit. Creates
a file named "ExtendedFileList.txt" in the same folder for which you run the
listing. Automatically opens the Tab de-limited text file in Microsoft
Excel.

- - - - -Script begins from next line- - - -

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set Ag=Wscript.Arguments
Set Fldr=objShell.NameSpace(Ag(0))
Set FldrItems=Fldr.Items
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FName = FLDR.self.path & "\ExtendedFileList.txt"
Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile(FName, 2, vbtrue)
For x = 0 to 50
t1 = t1 & Fldr.GetDetailsOf(vbnull, x) & vbtab
Next
ts.write FLDR.self.path &vbcrlf
ts.Write T1 & vbcrlf
T1=""
For Each FldrItem in FldrItems
For x = 0 to 50
t1 = t1 & Fldr.GetDetailsOf(FldrItem, x) & vbtab
Next
t1=t1 & vbcrlf
ts.Write T1
T1=""
Next
ts.close

'If you don't have MS Excel, comment next line
'---------------------------------------------
WshShell.Run "excel.exe " & chr(34) & FName & chr(34), 1, True
Set objShell = Nothing
Set WshShell = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing

- - - - Script ends in previous line- - - -
