[QUOTE="DianeVan, post: 1806664, member: 318944"] open the folder you want the list of ctrl-a to select all the files ctrl-c to copy all to clipboard open TextEdit In TextEDit go to EDIT: paste and match style You will have the file list. There is a way to get this into Excel too but I have forgotten, you can google it. But if your main problem is duplicate files, look for a free duplicate file finder. I started a job once with a mess of file structure and usb sticks with various versions and used something called Duplicate File Finder to clean it up. This was some years ago although I still have the app in my applications folder. I didn't trust it 100% so I made copies of the folders and files first and used the Dup file finder on those. It was a bit tedious but not as tedious as doing it manually. I'm in BC too. [/QUOTE]
