Portable dirhtml

This is the portable version of dirhtml - a simple yet very useful tool that indexes files and folders to create an HTML file with this structure, similar to how the map of a website is generated. This type of application can help you keep track of your important data.

Since installation is not required, you can simply drop the program files anywhere on the hard drive and just run the executable file. Alternatively, you can store dirhtml on a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, and run it on any computer.

The interface of the program is based on a standard window with a well-organized layout. You can get started by selecting the root folder, after which you can specify which files to include, together with the output filename and destination.

But you may also write filenames to include and exclude, create a list of folders to skip, as well as include files by the last date of modification or file size that you mention.

dirhtml integrates a long list of scripts that you can choose from, in order to change the appearance of the output HTML file. Many other configuration settings are available when it comes to sorting (e.g. by folder, columns, ascending, extension) and default words (e.g. set an anchor prefix), recursion (e.g. link folders to generated files).

From the Miscellaneous section you can make the tool create folder tables, use backslashes, list links that no longer work and insert summary statistics, as well as specify the maximum file, anchor and folder characters, among others.

dirhtml takes a reasonable amount of time to create an HTML file while using a low quantity of CPU and system memory. It has a good response time and includes a complete help file. Although it supplies a wide range of customization options to choose from, dirhtml is not particularly intuitive, so less experienced users will probably have a hard time figuring out how to work with it.
