I have a collection of short films in a series of folders that I want to generate a menu for- in the easiest and quickest manner.
If it was just one small project/only a few movies, I could just break out notepad and do it all in html, but this is a bunch of projects with quite a few folders/movies, spread over time.
I've played around with Autoplay Menu Studio and other menu building apps and although they tout themselves as being easy, for my needs, it's way more tedious than it has to be (I don't need to drag anything around- I just need a dump of hyperlinks).
I have an app that's called AVD Filelist that outputs the names of a folder of files to either CSV or HTML, but... the HTML is in tables and it takes me forever to clean up. I need something simpler.
For example, If I have a folder that contains two subfolders (named Topic 1 and Topic 2) and these folders contain 2 movies (called movie 1 and movie 2) I want to click a button and add the top folder, press save, and then end up with a HTML doc that displays like this:
Topic 1
Movie 1
Movie 2
Topic 2
Movie 1
Movie 2
The movies will be hyperlinks that, when pressed, will run the files on my local drive.
This is child's play, isn't it? Any ideas as to the easiest way/best software to achieve this?
