Thumbnails style "Frame with Shadow".

Report. Now you can show instant folder reports of various formats in a popup text box.

The Report tab is found in the Info Panel (F12). It offers reports on the Current Folder and reports on the Current List. Both can have identical contents, but also quite different contents, for example if the list contains search results or a branch view.

Note that the same report can be sent To Popup, To Clipboard, To File, and To Printer.

A report on the current folder, style "Classic Directory Dump", is sent to a popup text box. (Click to zoom)

Voilà, this is the report. (Click to zoom)

Report on the Current List

A report on the current list, with column headers, is sent to a popup text box. (Click to zoom)
