HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Feature Request: bind root to where HFS.exe is

That's why I suggested to have a button for serving data from the root of the program folder. If you don't need that, then you just don't push that button.
However, I think that many times the users need HFS for testing purposes like me, and they would just copy the hfs.exe to the folder they want to test, without any need to install HFS on C:\

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Feature Request: bind root to where HFS.exe is

« on: February 07, 2013, 07:51:26 AM »

Hello and thanks for the creating HFS!
The folder where you start HFS from should be added as root as simple as possible. I think most of the time that's what the users need. There should be a button to do that.
Because it's not exactly intuitive to do that at this moment. You have to change to expert mode, then "Bind root to real folder". And when you choose that, it opens a dialog to select folder starting with "My Computer".
At least that menu should start with the folder where you started HFS from.
It's really annoying to bind root more than once, since you most likely you want to bind it with folders close to where you started HFS.exe from.
Probably many times the people just want to test dynamic html pages using HFS, like streaming video/audio, like I do.

Can you please add a button for binding the folder where HFS.exe is as root?

Thanks

Later edit: Just tried Mongoose and it binds the root to the folder where you start the program from by default.
