Tired of clicking up the Explorer meta data?

Want to check each file in a folder for stuff like copyright or just to see what version a file has?

This little dotnet tool has you covered.

You will need tho have the dotnet sdk installed, you can get it here https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0

Since this runs as a dotnet tool the full SDK is needed.

Run the following command to set it up:

dotnet tool install metaprint -g

More info can be found here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-tool-install

This will install it as a global tool, see the help to see what it can do

metaprint --help

The simple example with one file:

metaprint -f some-random.dll

Look at the files in a directory:

metaprint -d c:\data\files

The verbose example with a directory but just files with with ".1" extension:

metaprint -d c:\data\files -e ".1" -v
