First, I'm glad to have found this program and am impressed that it's been going since 2000!

My question is probably silly, since I'm pretty sure the answer is probably staring me in the face, but I can't seem to find it.

Rather than a flat view that shows all files and folders on one page, I'm wondering how I can achieve the view like you'd see when looking at the right pane in Windows Explorer, or browsing an FTP site in a browser: that is, on the main page, only root folders and files are shown. You have to navigate for the rest. Like this:

Thanks

There are two ways to approximate that web page using recursion:
* build with "One file per folder"
* build a framed site

Both options are settings on the "Recursive" page.

It's also possible to duplicate the fancy icons using file matching
sections. See the dirhtml help for more info.

At present, it's not possible to have folders and files appear in the
same list, as folders appear in their own table above the file list.
The folder table can be separated into its own <div> however, and
shown to the left of (or anywhere relative to) the file list. The
various "... (with div)" scripts included with the program do
something very similar to this, but for anchors rather than folders.

There was a bug in the v4.87 beta regarding framed builds relating to
the new dirhtml folder structure. Essentially, dirhtml wasn't finding
"Scripts\frameset.txt".

A new beta is up with the app title: "dirhtml v4.87 - BETA - 111027"
