Printing a Directory Tree

archMage · 03-01-2005, 01:21 PM

Salutations. I am seeking knowledge in how to print out a directory tree in a nice, readable format (without all the UNIX information). Under OS 9, you used to be able to browse to a location in the Finder, then simply go up to Finder > Print and it would print the entire structure. I've only found a way to do this in Panther with a terminal command (dumping it to a text file), but it is an all or nothing option (including the sub-directories of .app files). Surely there is some elegant way of doing so under 10.3?

Any help is appreciated!! Thanks.

And note that BBEdit Lite has now been supplanted by the (equally free) Text Wrangler (from the same company).
