Suggested content for a bug report.
Problem Description: When right-clicking on selected item(s) and
selecting "Save Results As..." valuable information is NOT recorded.
What is saved: ONLY the complete path to file or directory.
What is LOST: item's type, containing folder, date, size.
Solution: add option to save as CSV file
Reasoning:
The existing GUI provides tools for selecting/sorting data.
There are multiple tools for manipulating and printing CSV data.
[As a side note - all folders report "size" of 4.1 kB.
Likely should be reported as blank or "N/A"]
