Better Directories Description

Makes boring http(s) directories look better and be more functional Better Directories is a Firefox extension that makes HTTP(S) directories more functional - always sortable for example. 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 some (optional) right click menu entries, 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.An example of what it does can be found at: http://dev.novemberborn.net/sifr3/nightlies/ and many others, styling them to look like this: http://mozillalinks.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/ff3_ftp.png .Only tested on default theme; possible that others cause some problems. It uses the ultra-safe Greasemonkey script injector, but does not require Greasemonkey itself.Unlike other developers, I do read all the comments posted here on the Mozilla site. 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 3 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. User Interface Features: · 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: · Mozilla Firefox What's New in This Release: · Fix glaringly obvious not-working-out-of-the-box due to a preference malfunction of the worse sort.
