"Create File Listing" - double CR/LF and spaces ...

[Peter2]

Using this command (only option: filename; subfolders) I get a file "listing.txt", opened in Notepad. It looks like

Code: Select all

Telefon.jpg
Steuer.jpg
Versicherung.jpg


But Copy&Paste to Word or Excel or UltraEdit displays empty lines and trailing spaces:

Code: Select all

Medizin.jpg       

Telefon.jpg       

Steuer.jpg         

Versicherung.jpg   



How to solve it?

Any remarks?

UltraEdit thinks it's UNIX-encoded text, ...

... while Notepad++ opens it as “Macintosh | ANSI”

Will this be fixed sometimes?

I just upgraded to 1.98.8. Create file listing no longer returns a fixed width file with a CR at the end of each line.
When I open the txt file in Excel as fixed width, I'm not getting multiple rows, just a long single row.
Not how it used to work, and not what I need!

Short of editing the txt file to insert a CR, is there anything that can be done?

Is this on a fix list?

Thanks,

Hello! After several years of happily using XnView to generate metadata for later use (and lots of other things), a problem has cropped up in the Create-File List output to a txt file. While I used to get output with breaks/CRs at the end of each row, that's no longer happening. Now when I open the txt file in Excel, everything strings into one long record, instead of being recognized as a fixed-width file.

It's only an issue on my workstation (others in my department are getting the proper output) so it must be a setting that has changed. Any suggestions (short of reinstalling XnView)?

(Tried to upload sample files, but .txt is not allowed)

Thanks,

Do you use the same version of XnView?

[dwythe]

Thanks for your reply, Pierre -- yes, we all have the same version. We decided to just reinstall, and that took care of the problem--for us, anyway.
So it goes!
