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 un-select
Hello Cheryl,
The folder names were listed in the order they appeared in the Finder window,
and this is good for my purposes.
Take care,

You are a superstar, David!
It worked, and I am very grateful to you. You just saved me several hours of
work. I wish there were a way to actually go into each folder and copy the
names of individual files, but this method can be used for that, too. It just
takes repeating the process.

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 al
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.

Hmmm, I know how to do this using terminal but not in finder. I would be
interested in knowing if there's a way to do this also.
In case you end up doing it in terminal:
Open terminal.
cd to the directory whose files you want to copy. Otherwise the whole path to
the files will be given instead
1. Copy all the files in Finder by selecting them and pressing command C.
2. Open TextEdit.
3. Press command shift T to force the format in TextEdit to text only.
4. Press command V to paste in the filenames.
Job done.

Are all of these files in the same folder?

Hello everyone,
For work purposes, I need to keep a log of files that I edit. Is there a way
to copy just the list of filenames, not the files themselves into a document?
I suppose that I could go into the folder, interact with each file and copy
each individual filename, but that seems a lit
