ZDDC Browse

A two-pane file browser for ZDDC archives — and any directory.

Online — when this page is served by zddc-server, the listing for the current directory loads automatically.
Local — click Use Local Directory to pick any folder on your computer (Chromium-based browsers).

Once loaded: click folders to expand, click files to preview them in the right pane. Markdown files open in a full editor with TOC. Switch to Grid mode to bulk-rename ZDDC files spreadsheet-style.

What is Browse?

Browse is the ZDDC file experience. Two top-level modes:

Browse mode: File tree on the left, preview on the right. Click a folder to expand, click a file to preview. Markdown files open in a full editor; PDF, image, ZIP, XLSX, DOCX, TIFF all render inline.
Grid mode: Spreadsheet view of the current subtree's files for bulk ZDDC renaming. Edit cells directly, copy/paste with Excel, save back to disk.

Tree navigation (Browse mode)

Click a folder: Expand or collapse it inline.
Shift-click a folder: Recursive expand or collapse — the whole subtree.
Click a file: Preview it in the right pane.
Row actions — right-click, ⋯, or the menu key: Right-click a row, click the ⋯ button that appears on hover, or press the menu key (or Shift+F10) on the selected row. The menu only lists actions that apply to that item; actions you can see but can't use yet (you lack write/create access, or they're for project or site administrators) appear greyed with a reason — so you can see what a higher role unlocks.
Toolbar (above the tree): Filter, New folder / New file (created in the current directory), Sort order, and Show hidden files all live here.
⤴ Pop out: Open the current preview in a separate window — useful for a second monitor.
ZIP files: Behave as folders — click to inspect contents inline. JSZip is bundled, so this works offline.
Download / Download ZIP: Right-click a file for Download, or a folder for Download ZIP (everything under it that you're allowed to see, bundled into one archive). Online, the server streams it; locally, the browser bundles the picked folder (a confirmation appears if it's very large).
Refresh: Re-fetches the current directory listing — works for both local (re-enumerates the FS handle) and online (re-fetches the JSON).

Header buttons

Use Local Directory: Pick a folder from your computer. Works in both modes; in online mode it's de-emphasized but still available.
⟳ Refresh: Re-load the current directory listing.
◐ Theme: Cycle auto / light / dark.
