[Tip] Copy a list of files in a folder

[Paul (Lead Developer)]

AlomWare Toolbox lets you quickly and easily copy a list of files in a folder to the clipboard. First, middle-click the folder's icon area (top-left of its title bar) to open the Power menu for the folder. Then select the "Copy file list" sub-menu, and choose a copy type. One example use of copying a file list is to create a music playlist from the MP3 files in a folder. Another example would be to create a text-based index of files for future reference.

Finally, below is an example of copying the tree layout using the "tree" DOS command (can take a while for large folders). I've used another folder here to show the tree's sub-directories:
