The nice thing about dumping it to a text file is it is searchable. I also often open it in Excel, and you can create batch commands like renaming, or making directories based on the file names from the list. So if I end up with a list like:

file 1
file 2
file 3
file 4
file 5

I can add a column with "rename" and fill down, and another column with text that I want to add before or after(say, the date or whatever). Make a concatenate formula if needed, then I can just copy and paste it back in a command window and rename a bunch of files all at once. Or move them or whatever. Handy when you have thousands of files.
