This might sound a bit geeky because I'm going to suggest a command to use in Terminal. So here it goes.
1. Go into the Terminal app 2. Type cd followed by the name of the folder you want to work in. 3. You can verify which folder you're actually in by typing 'pwd' with out the quotes and see the name of the folder it gives back to you. 4. Now type 'ls -1 >files.txt' without the quotes. This command lists all the files in the current directory or folder with each file name on a separate line. the ">files.txt" tells the system to redirect the output of the ls command into a file called files.txt. From here, you can go back to familiar territory with the finder and view this file in that folder with any normal text editor. Hope this helps.
