Introduction
PVTree is an utility to see the full (or part) directory tree of any
disks devices like HardDisk, Floppy Disk, Ram,... in a graphic window
which can be printed. HardLinks supported.
It can be used from the Shell or from PVTreeGUI or PVTreeMUI who are
two GUI designed for PVTree.
PVTreeGUI use the standard intuition look.
PVTreeMUI use the Magic User Interface from Stefan Stuntz, you must
have the "muimaster.library" (not provided) in your LIBS: directory
and some new classes to run it. (see ReadMe.MUI)
2.0+ system required !

PVTree
Options are:
-f Display all files, default : only dirs
-d Force the display to de dynamic
-c Use only 2 colors instead of 4
-b Change background color (ignored if -c is set)
(1-3 in normal mode)
(1-... in dynamic mode)
-r <value> Set the max subdir recusivity, default 10,
range 2 - 99
-s <name> Set the name of the public screen to use
You can click on any file or dir name to have some informations
on it.
In the menu, 'Info' gives some informations about the root.
By default the window use a superbitmap, so the scrolling is fast
but take a lot of chip memory.
If you specify the -d option the tree is draw without superbitmap.
Only the visible tree is redrawn, so the scrolling is slow
but take a few chip memory.
You can use the -c option to keep some chip mem if you don't
use the -d option.
You can use the arrow keys to move the display, if shifted,
the move is faster. You can quit with the 'ESC' key.
In the normal mode (NOT -d) you can print the tree by pressing
the 'p' key or by selecting the 'Print' menu item.
You can also change the zoom scale from x1/4 to x4.
If you have a black and white printer set the -c option.
All others features are presents in the PrinterGFX preference
program, thanks Commodore !
The -r option stops the root scan if the number of the
subdirectory depth is greater than the -r value, including root.
Limits are 2 to 99 :-) .
PVTree can be made resident. This is useful for floppy users.
PVTreeGUI
From Shell:
PVTreeGUI [-options] [root directory]
Options:
All of the PVTree's options and:
-x <value> Set the left of the GUI window
-y <value> Set the top of the GUI window
From WB:
Supported ToolTypes :
ROOT=name The default root
FILES=YES/NO Like -f
DYNAMIC=YES/NO Like -d
NOCOLOR=YES/NO Like -c
BACKCOLOR=n Like -b
MAXREC=n Like -r
LEFT=x Like -x
TOP=y Like -y
SCREEN=name Like -s
This program is very easy to use:
- Write the root directory name in the string gadget
or click on the drawer icon to open a requester
- Select options
- Click on 'Draw'
Be careful when you click on 'Draw' because this program simply
run the PVTree program in a backgroud process without waiting
the end of the PVTree's work. This is useful to display
different tree at the same time.
PVTree must be in the same directory than PVTreeGUI or in c:
PVTreeMUI
From Shell:
PVTreeMUI [-options] [root directory]
Options:
-i Start iconified
-s PVTree's screen
Note: The -s option is simply given to PVTree,
use the MUI prefs to set the PVTreeMUI's screen !
From WB:
Supported ToolTypes :
ROOT=name The default root
SCREEN=name Like -s but this option is simply
given to PVTree, use the MUI prefs
to set the PVTreeMUI's screen !
STARTICONIFIED=YES/NO Start iconified, useful to put PVTreeMUI
in the WBStartup drawer, in this case don't
forget the DONOTWAIT tooltype.
This program is very easy to use:
- Write the root directory name in the string gadget
or click on the drawer icon to open a requester
- Select options
- Click on Draw or Multi Draw
PVTree must be in the same directory than PVTreeMUI or in c:
This program uses some MUI enhancements :
- Gadgets can be activated with TAB, RETURN and up/down
arrow keys, quit with 'ESC'
- Appwindow : simply drag a WB icon into the window
even if it's a file icon, the complete path will
appears in the string gadget
- Iconify gadget : when iconified you can drop icons on
it and the tree is drawn (multi draw)
- Commodity : you can use the Exchange program to
iconify or quit
- Look configuration via the MUI prefs tool (not
