What is LUD?

LUD is a utility-type Windows software that lists one or more directories on your hard drives and other devices.

It is actually very easy to list a folder under Windows without software via a file BAT with the commands MS-DOS DIR or TREE. But here it is not very clear to reading and there are often accentuation problems when saving the list to a file. LUD has been designed to overcome this kind of boredom but also to simplify this task as much as possible with, in addition, many useful parameters.


Ready to use

Once in possession of the utility just: run it, then select the folder or folders to list, to finally click on & laquo; Generate the list & raquo; and that's it, your list is ready! Note that you can access more settings via the tabs & laquo; Exit & raquo; and & laquo; Advanced & raquo;.

By default, the generated file is in HTM format and can be read via a web browser such as Edge, Chrome, Firefox etc .... But other formats like TXT, XLS, CSV etc. are also available.

If you do not want to waste time configuring the directory to list. Simply put the utility in the folder to list and generate the list from this location.

And for even less wasted time, namely that it is also possible to add the utility to the click right and memorize your settings.

Je viens de tester cet utilitaire pour lister des titres d'un album de "Ma Musique". Dans l'arborescence de l'application, seuls les 10 premiers sous-dossiers du dossier "Music" sont affichés (dans l'ordre alphabetique), au lieu des centaines de sous-dossiers que j'ai dans Ma musique. Donc impossible de lister les fichiers de l'album désiré que je ne vois pas dans l'arborescence. Il doit y avoir un bug qui empêche d'afficher tous les sous-dossiers d'un dossier. Dommage ! J'aurai voulu voir si les caractères coréens (qui s'affichent bien dans l'explorateur windows) étaient conservés dans le liste génér&eacut e;e, car la commande .bat génère des "?" pour les caractères asiatiques.

Bonjour, j'apprécie cet utilitaire (LUD) que je trouve bien pratique.
Dans une prochaine version, serait-il possible d'avoir une option pour avoir les liens hypertextes avec chemin en relatif et non fixe?
Merci. Cordialement
JM

This application is completely free! However, it must exist to the publicity and especially to your generosity, that's why I solicit it here so that this project can last. And be it done that there are no small donations, if each person who found useful LUD gave only 2$, it would very quickly represent a huge contribution. Think about it!
