CTAN Update: nicefilelist
Date: November 2, 2012 7:23:55 PM CET
Uwe Lück submitted an update to the
nicefilelist
package.
Summary description: \listfiles alignment with date and version columns
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
In the output from LaTeX's \listfiles, `nicefilelist.sty' keeps separate columns for (i) date, (ii) version, and (iii) "caption" of LaTeX source files according to their \Provides... statements. The alignment is not disturbed by long base filenames or short filename extensions such as `.fd'. The "specification" is Martin Muench's. v0.7 deals with another challenge from the latter: a package option `[wrap]' provides automatic word wrapping within the caption column, so filenames and captions can be quite long without disturbing the alignment. For this purpose, I finally resort to a package "not invented here": `hardwrap' by Will Robertson and Kevin Godby. As opposed to the `dateiliste' package, this is in fact about the plain text output in the .log file or, with the `myfilist' package, as a stand-alone plain text file. LICENSE: LPPL 1.3, no responsibility can be accepted when your monitor bursts.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicefilelist . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/nicefilelist (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

nicefilelist – Provide \listfiles alignment
The package extends longnamefilelist, keeping separate columns for date, version and “caption” (the caption now separately listed). Alignment is not disturbed by short file name extensions, such as “.fd”.
The package is not compatible with longnamefilelist: users need to re-read the documentation.
