### Installation
* Install the **latest** version of the [Open JDK](https://jdk.java.net/16/) or [AdoptOpenJDK](https://adoptopenjdk.net).
* Download DiskBrowser.jar from the [releases](https://github.com/dmolony/diskbrowser/releases) page.
* Double-click the jar file, or enter 'java -jar DiskBrowser.jar' in the terminal.
* Set your root folder (the top-level folder where you keep your disk images).

### Example Screens
#### Disk listing
Select a disk from the Disk Tree tab to display the catalog and disk layout.
![Disk listing](resources/disk1.png?raw=true "Disk listing")
#### Disk contents
Double-click a disk from the Disk Tree tab and a new tab appears. This tab contains a list of all the files on the disk. Click on a file and the Output panel will display the contents of that file. The disk sectors containing the file will also be highlighted in the Disk Layout panel.
![Disk catalog](resources/disk2.png?raw=true "Disk catalog")
#### Detailed sector display
Click on any sector in the Disk Layout panel and the Output panel will display the contents of that sector. If it is a recognised sector type, it will be formatted for easier reading.

#### Cross-platform
Java runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux.

#### Applesoft Formatting and Analysis
Applesoft programs are displayed in a modern, easily-readable format. A comprehensive cross-listing of variables, strings, calls and jumps is available. Easily find duplicate variable names.
For the truly retro look, programs can be displayed in the [original 40-column line wrap](resources/basic.md) mode.

#### Pascal code

#### Complete Disk List
Generates a list of all the disks in your collection. The list can be sorted by any of the table headings. Checksums can be generated as needed, or for the whole collection.
![Disk List](resources/disklist.png?raw=true "Disk List")
Select a disk and click the duplicates button to see all of the disks that share the same checksum.
