HTML output of my directories and files is the closest I found in case it
ever interests you to show your file and folder structure to others:
http://www.rlvision.com/snap2html/about.asp
Picture on the above page is pretty evident of what it does.
won't go on much about this as the above will be my solution
....other than that yes, directories and files output to a text file are
maybe good for reference... but not great for much else
Any more than a couple directories and files means you have yourself a
large list going many pages (hardly openable in notepad etc) which you
must see all at the same time and look through, scroll, get perhaps a bit
giddy from whilst scrolling/separating what's what :)
my aim is to send something to someone so they can browse the folders (or
have some indicator of) that are labelled and then look inside them should
it interest them, rather than see everything at once in text format.
I apologise for not mentioning Windows being my OS choice for now
Any more examples close to 'snap2html' or similar is very welcome. Picture
on that link at the top of this email shows clickable directories.
won't go on much about this as the above will be my solution
