Dir-lister
Dir-lister is a small Tcl cgi-script which takes a directory as an argument and makes a nicely formated list of the files in the directory. It can show all files or just those matching a regular expression. Note that it is still in beta version.

Here is an example of how it might look.

Background

I started working on Dir-lister because I didn't like seeing all backup files (made by emacs) in my elisp directory.

How to Use Dir-lister

You need the following things to use Dir-lister:
  1. An installed script
  2. A Dir-lister preference file in the directory to be viewed (it can be used without a preferences file but then why bother with the script at all).
To use the file comment functions of Dir-lister you also need to add lined to the files in the directory (see below).

Preferences

It is possible to modify some behaviour of Dir-lister without changing the source code, this is done by the preferences file.

The preferences are documented here.

File Comments

Dir-lister allows you to automatically show some information about the file (for example version number) without manually opening and read the file.

The file comments are documented here.

Download

Dir-lister is free of charge as long as you send me an e-mail with: extensions you want to see, comments on what is good and bad.

The latest released version for download.
