Snap2html for Ubuntu?

  • 772

There is a wonderful program created by rlvision.com called snap2html. It creates a very intuitive and visual snapshot of all the files and directories in a certain directory. I'm desperately looking for a similar program for Ubuntu. I couldn't find it online. I used to do that with tree and aha, but that's not nearly as compact and charming as snap2html.

  1. I'm responding to a very old post but this is for new searches.

    I'm a huge fan and user of Snap2HTML. I transitioned to Linux fulltime several years ago and the only reason I run WINE is to be able to run Snap2HTML. That's how valuable it is to me.

    Finally found a great replacement that use's Snap2HTML's template. It's called LinuxDir2HTML : https://github.com/homeisfar/LinuxDir2HTML

    This is the reddit post that directed me to the python program: https://redd.it/hxz8ln

    I tried every other solution that I found over then years and nothing ever came close to Snap2HTML until I turned up LinuxDir2HTML recently. This is the answer for anyone looking for a direct Snap2HTML solution on Linux.

  2. DiogenesList is a nice command-line clone of Snap2HTML. You simply download the python script and run the command as such in the terminal:

    python diogeneslist.py /directory/you/want/to/scan nameofoutputfile

    It will create a file named nameofoutputfile.html in your current directory that looks just like the file created by Snap2HTML.
