If what you mean is that you wish there was a way of copying non
contiguous file names from a folder then you can do this as well.
Assuming this is what you want to do.
1. navigate to the first file name using normal cursor keys.
2. Press VO Command return twice. The first press will
Oh, that's nice! I never knew how to do this without the actual files being
copied. Since I do text by default, I wouldn't even need to do that step.

The only thing is that this method will not get you filenames in the
subdirectories, or at least I don't think it will. It will give you the
directory names of subdirectories but I think you would probably then have to
repeat this process for each subdirectory. Still, it is a nice method. I'm
Hello everyone,
For work purposes, I need to keep a log of files that I edit. Is there a way

Hmmm, I know how to do this using terminal but not in finder. I would be

You are a superstar, David!
It worked, and I am very grateful to you. You just saved me several hours of
