cd2browse allows you to easily create browseable HTML-based menus from ordinary directory structures, and publish these menus on cd2browse allows you to easily create browseable HTML-based menus from ordinary directory structures, and publish these menus on CD or DVD. The project employs Javascript tree menus (or, optionally, a web-inspired self-expanding menu structure) to provide a clean, easily navigated view of your files.When might you use cd2browse?Imagine you have a collection of files of different types (Word, Excel, JPEG, HTML) which you would like to organize and publish on a single CD or DVD in a way that allows a user to easily and coherently browse through the files. Manually creating an HTML index would take quite a bit of time; cd2browse automates and simplifies the task of organizing and linking your files into a logical whole. Here are some key features of "cd2browse": · analyses the file tree, extracts valuable information out of the files, such as title, size, age, and number of pages and creates a browsable html index out of it. In other words after cd2browse has finished, you have a browasable view of the scanned directory structure · creates thumbnails of images in the file tree - this can be switched off during creation also the size of the thumbnails can be defined creates previews of all images in the scanned file tree and make them browsable as a gallery the size can be defined - provides a offline java script based search engine which allows a full text search. Indexed files are: · pdf, word , excel, powerpoint and html documents · does not affect the file tree itself. The resulting html files are outside the original file tree - so the file tree is not messed up with index or preview files. · is customizable according to your needs. The look and feel can be changed using templates. · cd2browse is open source, structured, documented an licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2. · Using the menu needs no software installation, you just need a modern browser which is able to run java script. The menus are built in pure html and java script. · burning the menu and files on cd or dvd will force the cd to auto-start if the disc is inserted into the drive. The target use for cd2browse is: · Technical documentation on CD or DVD · Simple web publishing for different kind of documents · Program or document collections for CD or DVD · Publishing of images on CD / DVD What's New in This Release: · On Windows platforms, there was a problem when the directory to scan was not on the same drive as the resources directory. · This caused indexing on a foreign drive to fail and has been fixed. · When the target directory was not writable, index.pl indexed the current directory; this has been fixed. · A Perl/Tk GUI interface (CD2Browse.pl) is now included. · The GUI allows you to save and restore settings from XML configuration files. · Progress information is now shown, unless you use the -q option. · The resulting browsable icons and thumbnails are now linked with the document.
