Better Directories is a Firefox extension designed to enhance the functionality of HTTP directories. Files all have the correct icons, and the directories all look like FTP directories i.e. much better.
A user-friendly and fully customisable system determines whether a page is a directory (and should be targeted for improvement) or not. Using (optional) right click menu entries, or through the tools menu, you can define any page as a directory, though the automatic scanner will pick up on most.
Likewise, if any page is being incorrectly rendered as a directory when it is not, a few clicks will declare it to be not a directory and it will never be affected again.
Here are some key features of "Better Directories":
· Applies CSS to make the page look better.
· Applies Javascript to make the data sortable.
· Gives each entry an icon, taken from Firefox chrome.
· Puts a proper "Go up" link at the top of the page.
· Attempts to apply a favicon if one doesn't exist.
· Shortens long filenames intelligently.
· Quick global enable/disable through Tools menu
· Multiple customisable options
· Choose your preferred date format (defaults based on your locale!)
· Optional Easy-Add right click menu entries to quickly define a page as a directory, or not a directory.
Requirements:
· Firefox 3.0 - 5.0a2
