It seems like something that might be used by a large number of Calibre users. Mebbe it's something that should be coded right into a button you click on - you shouldn't have to jump through a lot of hoops to produce something that's used frequently.

I have some sympathy with this idea
In Windows I use krksoft's Directory Lister Pro to produce ad-hoc lists for my music and video libraries. The output format I use is HTML, it also does Text and CSV. If ebook embedded metadata was as ubiquitous as music and video metadata is, then I'd also use it for my ebook libraries.
If you search hard enough the old free version of Directory Lister v 0.9.1 can be downloaded from some of the 'old software' repositories.
