When you select the Copy Filenames with Options menu command and one or more folders are selected, then the dialog that appears has a Folder Options section at the top.
Press the Change button to bring up the Folder Options dialog:
The default option (as shown above) is for the folder names just to be copied in the same way as the file names.
Select the Scan folders for sub-folders and files option to also include the files and sub-folders in the selected folder(s).
When you select this option, further options are enabled.
Copy file names only |
Only files in the selected folder(s) will be added to the list. |
Copy folder names only |
The selected folder(s) and any sub-folders in those folders will be added to the list. |
Copy File and folder names |
The selected folder(s) and any files and sub-folders in those folders will be added to the list. |
There are also options to include or exclude file names that match a given pattern. The pattern can contain specific text to match, or * to match any text, or ? to match any single character. For example, *.txt will match any file with the extension txt.
The depth to which sub-folders will be searched can also be limited by checking the Limit scan depth to box, and setting the maximum depth from the selected folder(s) to search for sub-folders. Files in a selected folder are at depth 1, files in sub-folders of a selected folder are at depth 2, and so on.
