Karen’s Directory Printer

Karen’s Directory Printer is a highly popular, lightweight file cataloging utility for Windows that lets you print or save detailed lists of files and folders from any drive or directory. Originally created by the late Karen Kenworthy as part of her “Power Tools” collection, the software provides a simple way to bypass Windows Explorer’s lack of a native directory printing feature. Key Features

Extensive File Metadata: It can log file names alongside sizes, file extensions, paths, versions, and hidden/system attributes.

Advanced Timestamps: The utility lists exact dates and times for file creation, modifications, and last-accessed logs.

Flexible Sorting: You can sort reports in ascending or descending order by name, size, or any of the available timestamps.

Security Hashes: It can calculate and include cryptographic file hashes (like CRC32) directly into your catalog.

Sub-folder Exploration: The tool easily crawls through deep sub-folders to create a unified system map.

Dual Output Options: You can output data directly to a physical printer or save it as a digital text file to disk. Interface Structure

The software is organized into four main tabs to manage your workflows: Welcome Tab: Provides basic tips and software information.

Print Tab: Used for selecting target directories through a tree structure and immediately sending the list to a physical printer.

Save To Disk Tab: Configures the software to export and format the directory map into an external text file.

Other Settings Tab: Contains extra custom tweaks, file filtering options, and column arrangement features. Current Status and Availability
