I did add the import from config.py feature myself and the mobile switch. I started this project as an optional replacement for my https://github.com/pageauc/speed-camera and https://github.com/pageauc/pi-timolo2 projects\n\nI called my DeepSeek AI assistant Codey. It was a rewarding and at times frustrating experience. I started from scratch using just prompts and no example starting code.\n\nIt is a python3 flask application that allows browsing media files in a web frame.\nA directory listing of files/folders is displayed in the Right Frame.\nFile content Eg images are displayed in the Left Frame. Use up/down arrows or mouse to scroll the listing.\nContent will automatically be displayed in the Left Frame.\nA folder breadcrumb in the top left corner allows easy navigation to a previous folder.\nThe frame divider can be repositioned using the mouse \u003c--\u003e. The position will be saved between folders and run sessions.\nUse the Right Frame pull down to change the listing sort. This will also be saved between folders.\n\n### Installation\n\nThis was developed for a Raspberry Pi but should run on other platforms. You should not need to install any dependencies since flask is\nalready installed on Bullseye and Bookworm.\n\nOpen a terminal or SSH session and clone the github repository.\n\n    cd ~\n    git clone https://github.com/pageauc/browse-dir.git\n    cd browse-dir\n    chmod +x browse-dir.py\n\t\nEdit the config.py settings\t\n\t\n\tnano config.py\n\t\nEdit the WEB_SERVER_PORT, WEB_SERVER_ROOT, WEB_PAGE_TITLE as required.\nThe WEB_SERVER_ROOT can be a relative or absolute path to the location of the media.\nTo exit and save nano changes Press Ctrl-x y  \n\nTo launch the web server\n\n    ./browse-dir.py\n\t\nFrom a browser on your local network paste the flask url eg\n\n    http://192.168.1.178:5010\n\t\n![webserver browser screen shot](browse-dir.png)\n\t\n\t\n\n### Credits\n\nClaude Pageau developed this application from scatch using DeepSeek AI over approx three chat sessions.  \nI called my assistant Codey. It was a rewarding and at times frustrating experience. I started from scratch using just prompts and no example starting code.\n\n\n   ","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpageauc%2Fbrowse-dir","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpageauc%2Fbrowse-dir","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpageauc%2Fbrowse-dir/lists"}
