ScanDir Directory Lists Manager

ScanDir is a free directory lists manager for the Windows operating system. At its core stands a GUI powered search engine that performs incredible fast searches in selected directories or partitions of the computer system. Searches are powered by various filters that are divided into various tabs in the main interface. Filterers can make use of file attributes, sizes, dates and the path and name of the file. The Boolean search is wildcard driven and can combine or exclude various terms. It would for instance be possible to search for all mp3 files on drive c that have been added between November 2008 and January 2009 that contain the word “love”.

ScanDir will process the user request and display the results in four different ways. The first view lists all file paths, names, sizes and dates. A click on a file allows the execution of the file right away. The other three views provide various information such as statistics.

The software comes with file operation tools like copy, merge or purge. It is nowhere near as comfortable as working with a file manager but it works surprisingly after some time of training.

Bookmarks can be set to be able to quickly navigate between different directories. One of the main uses of ScanDir is the ability to export and print the results. It is possible to select the information that are included in the export. A complete export will basically contain all information that have been displayed to the user prior to starting the export function.

ScanDir is a portable software for the Windows operating system that provides access to extensive search operations and export options that might be interesting for users who regularly process such data.
