What it does

The Folder Structure Display Tool is a Python GUI app for browsing, searching, and exporting folder structures. It helps AI-assisted coding by organizing projects, streamlining navigation, and improving collaboration with easy sharing and clipboard support.

Systematically folderize directories either by using the full-scale GUI app or directly in your python scripts by using my own homemade python library - Arjunmehta312/folder-display-tool

The Folder Structure Display Tool is also available as a Python package that you can use in your own code. Link to the package: https://pypi.org/project/folder-display/ from folder_display import FolderDisplay Create a FolderDisplay instance fd = FolderDisplay () Configure options fd . set_excluded_folders ([ 'node_modules' , 'venv' ]) # Exclude specific folders fd . set_include_hidden ( False ) # Don't show hidden files Display folder structure structure = fd . display ( '/path/to/folder' ) print ( structure ) Export in different formats fd . export_html ( '/path/to/folder' , 'structure.html' ) fd . export_json ( '/path/to/folder' , 'structure.json' ) fd . export_text ( '/path/to/folder' ,…from github.com

    Details below ↓ Why not use Finder directly? 1. Every time I need to access files, I find myself navigating through layers of folders to locate the files below each project. 2. The Finder window often gets obscured by the active working window, such as the browser, making it quite challenging to drag and drop files. With Folder Hub, you can create multiple workspaces, each representing a specific project folder. For instance, you can customize a desktop workspace for accessing files on the desktop, where the names and access location are entirely up to you. When you need to retrieve files…

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
