CD2Browse allows you to easily create browseable HTML-based menus from ordinary directory structures, and publish these menus on CD or any other media. CD2Browse employs Javascript tree menus (or, optionally, a web-inspired self-expanding menu structure) to provide a clean, easily navigated view of your files. Imagine you have a collection of files of different types (Word, Excel, JPEG, HTML, PDF) which you would like to organize and publish 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.
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.It creates thumbnails of images in the file tree - this can be switched off during creation also the size of the thumbnails can be defined. Also it provides a offline java script based search engine which allows a full text search, withou the need of additional Software. CD2Browse 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. The design of your pages is highly customizable according to your needs. The look and feel can be changed using templates. (Have a look at the samples provided in he life demo section of the home page - there are more when you download). The samples are kept very simple by purpose, to make customization easy. 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.
