If you do not check my Dropbox public folder regularly, you probably won’t
have noticed the changes to xmldirlisting (formerly known as dirlisting.py).
So I’m quite sure you haven’t :)
The new release xmldirlisting 0.4 is ready. I renamed the project, rewrote it
from scratch and currently it’s … really simple. Basically you can do
the same things like before the transition—it’s just a bit trickier.
There are even no command line arguments right now and the documentation is
short, but if you have a good understanding of XML and XSLT you will be
familiar with the concept.
The project will generate an XML representation of the entire directory
including all subdirectories. The XML file can be processed by other programs.
I use the project in combination with some XSLT-stylesheets to create a
highly customizable HTML page for example. Have a look at the
project folder of the public part of my Dropbox
,
to see an example result. The file is automatically generated in realtime
just before it’s send to the Dropbox servers. You can obtain the sources of my
XSLT-stylesheet, which is used for the transformation, in the release tarball.
If you want to use xmldirlisting, but some feature is missing, you should file
a bug report in the bug tracker on the project’s homepage.
