Hierarchical File Viewer?

[Tee M.]

Are there any apps that can browse and display files in a hierarchical
view?
Like, with a pane on the left showing files and folders and a main pane
showing the contents of the current file?

Ideally it would be able to handle many differetn file types, text,
pict, jpg, even pdf...

Looking for OS9 or OS X or both!

Isn't there a browse function in GraphicConverter that operates like
this? (though it may or may not meet your specific need)

Thanks for the suggestions.

I don't really have a filing system for my data. I keep all of the
little articles and text clippings that I find on the web in one big
folder with thousands of items! I keep PDFs in a seperate folder and
images in another folder. Instead of sorting by file type I'd like to
have a viewer that can handle any common file type and then sort the
files in a more organized manner...
