Exactly - the entire contents (beyond what will fit on the screen) as a
list of filenames. In most cases a screenshoot will not be able to show
the entire directory contents... thus requiring multiple screenshots.


I'm looking into the AppleScript option right now, but I have another idea.
If I can trigger the Finder's Edit->Select All, then Copy, perhaps I can get
some file paths in the clipboard and then back up one path component to get the
window's (really, the directory's) filesystem path. That would work.
(although clumsy, I know). Hmmm, how to activate the menu, I will check.
