htmtools: Project Web Hosting - Open Source Software

htmTools

This program changes text of multiple files in a given folder. It could be useful e.g. if you want to change a menu item in a large static website. It also serves as a simple front-end for useful tools, like tidy, jpegtran, imagemagick, ffmpeg ... and the ones you like.




current version is 0.1.1 download


The tool options are stored in a settings file (settings.xml):

• page - name of the page
• pattern - the pattern to search files for
• subdirs - search in subdirs, if checked
• tool - path to the command line tool to use
• input_opts - input switches
• output_opts - output switches
• output_patt - output pattern, leave this empty, if there should be none
• create_subdir - create a subdir with this name
• prt_size - print filesize before and after the processing, if checked
• ext_output - log extended output of the tool, if checked
• comment - comment for the page

The example settings.xml file consists of:

• ChangeText (internal) - should not be deleted
• Tidy - checking html files
• Jpegtran - cleaning jpegs
• ImageMagick - IM can do a lot of image manipulation but it's not included (too big)
• FFMpeg - transcoding of video streams (binary included in IM)

The xml file resides in ~./htmTools (win32: in the folder of htmTools.exe). You can edit this file by hand (don't delete the first item, it contains the labels for the settings grid), or within the program (Menu-> Settings-> Tools).
There are a few more tools included in the win32 version, check the Tool List for details.
