Directory Contents Lister is a simple tool designed to list and organize the contents of a selected directory on a Windows system. The application sorts files by type (with folders listed first) and saves the list to a .txt file. It's perfect for organizing and keeping track of files and subfolders in any directory.
You can download the latest .exe release from the releases page and run it directly on Windows.
This tool requires Python 3.x. You can download the latest version of Python from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/
