This menu item is available only when the search results are obtained (and the Search Window is closed).

Selected Folder/Disk/Group

This report contains the folder, disk or group selected in the catalog. From the Report Generator you can set for this report two additional options - Print the archive contents and Print files. If the Print the archive contents option is set, all files and folders from the archive files will be included to the report. If your catalog contains a lot of files you can uncheck the option Print files and the report will include only information about disks and folders.

Use Report | Selected Folder, Disk or Group for quick start.
