Introduction You sure know it. You need to show content of any folder to somebody,
but how to do it quickly and easily? Would you like delete several
files from list, but it seems difficult? And what format to choose
to keep folder tree without special viewer? For these needs I offer
you one simple solution: Dir2Mht
Step-by-step
There will be added new item in folder's context menu
during installation. Note: this context menu can be displayed,
for example in Windows Explorer, by clicking on any folder by right
mouse button. Clicking on item called "Folder report..." launches the program,
which shows us content of folder. We can check "Browse subfolders" to
display all lower levels. List can be sorted by clicking
on proper column's caption and by using right mouse button in list
area some columns can be hidden via displayed context menu.
There are two ways to edit generated list. The first way is deleting
of proper items and exporting of remained items only, the second
is exporting of selected items only. For selecting you can use mouse
in combination with Shift or Ctrl keys. Selected items can be deleted
by pressing Del key. Note: by this we delete items in list, not
files on harddisk!
Prepared list can be either copied into clipboard (tab separated
items) or exported. There are several formats available:
Description and purpose of every format you can find below. Now
press Save button to finish process.
Program functions

Download
System requirements:
- Windows 95 and later
- 8 MB RAM
- ca 2 MB free HD space
Installation package you can find here: dir2mht21.exe
(1,7 MB)
.MHT format
This format you know probably from Internet Explorer
(MSIE). When you are saving page with all elements as single
file (web archive), you are exporting this page just into this
format (MHT = MIME HTML). The same format is used for HTML
e-mail messages (.eml files).
Why MHT? Why not! This is one of ways how to preserve interactive
tree with easy navigation, included graphics and this all in single
file. In file, which is viewable in most wide-spread browser -
Internet Explorer.
One good information for advanced users: you can edit .css file
(it controls page formating) or replace shipped graphics (Resource
folder) to change final output. What easily!
.XML format
Goal of this universal format is separation content
and formating. In XML file, there are only data. Formating is
provided by trasform templates. Input once, output many. Need we
.pdf or .html? With proper template and proper convertor no problem.
If you use Internet Explorer, for .html output no convertor is
neccessary - it is shipped with MSIE.
In folder Resource in program's path you can find several samples
of transform templates (.xsl files). You can edit them, of course,
to satisfy your needs.
Donation
Although program is freeware, if you like it, you can support
its next development by sending some
money (~1-5 $). Or you can also send me a
real, snailmail tourist postcard from where you live!
Thank You in advance.
