List Folders

Description

The program is used to list files and subfolders inside a selected local file system path. It is possible to customize filters to exclude/include files and include directories. Three export options are available:

• Export Text - get text file with the folder structure
• Export Markup - get HTML markup
• Export Tree - get JSON and HTML files for jsTree jQuery plugin to view folder structure in tree mode

Additional Export name field allows set different name for exported files. By default the root folder name is used. Manage Options block allows save current options (path and filters) to the database and then retrieve them using the dropdown. After selecting a list item it's possible to remove it with the near Remove button.

Usage

1. Paste a directory path in the first field.
2. Add extensions to Filter Extensions to include only files with specified extensions.
3. Add extensions to Exclude Extensions to exclude files with these extensions (the Filter Extensions text will be ignored).
4. Add folder names (that are subfolders or current directory from the path) to Filter Directories to include only these directories.
5. Select Export Options

• Export Text - creates .txt file with the directory structure in the export/text folder.
• Export Markup - creates .html file with the same text as for the Export Text but with wrapped directory/file names in appropriate elements. The file is created in the export/markup folder.
• Export Tree - creates two files: .html in the export/tree subfolder of the project main folder and .json in the export/tree/json subfolder. The .html file can be run directly to view the scanned directory content in the tree format. It uses jsTree plugin for jQuery to give representation and interaction of a file tree on the HTML page.

6. If Export Tree is selected additional field Export Name appears. You may set your name which will be given to .html and .json files in the export/tree folder when the tree view is exported. Or leave it blank to use the selected directory as the Tree name.
7. Press Scan Directory.
8. After scanning you should see the text output of the directory structure on the current page. Check the export folder for created files.
9. To check tree view go to export/tree and open .html file in browser. It should show the directory structure with expandable tree branches.
