Starglider Systems has released STG FolderPrint Plus v. 2.30, a Windows application that makes file management easier by letting you discover how your hard drive space is being used, as well as visualize and print your files and folders. With its special treatment of compressed ZIP archives and MP3 music files, FolderPrint is designed with both the business person and hobbyist in mind.

It's easy to locate files and folders anywhere on the hard drive. You can quickly create filters for including or excluding filename patterns and file types. Using simple checkboxes, you can determine whether to search for files or folders, how deeply to search within each folder, and whether to filter the search by dates or file sizes. You can even search for files that are compressed inside ZIP archives.

In addition to viewing the name, size, number of files, percent if space used, date created and modified, folder, attributes, and type, you can also create a description for each file or folder. With the ability to show version numbers for EXE and DLL files, FolderPrint makes it easy to identify the latest program versions on your computer. You can easily rename files if you have multiple copies on your hard drive. There is even a multi-file rename function.

FolderPrint lets you display the results on your screen, print them, or export them to a number of file formats including text, comma-separated values, HTML, Excel, or images (JPG or PNG). You can sort, resize, or remove any column. Reports include an icon for each file, and a colorful bar chart that depicts file sizes. Users have complete control over headers, footers, font colors, and backgrounds.

MP3 collectors will appreciate the ability to view the name of the music file, its length in minutes and seconds, the sampling rate frequency, bitrate, title, artist, album name, year of release, genre, and all user-supplied information about the music file.

Whether you're a business person who needs to find files that are compressed and archived in ZIP files, a home user who wants to their hard drive clean so they can avoid buying an expensive new drive, or a music collector who wants to be able to locate songs quickly, FolderPrint puts you in control of your hard drive.
