Both the app and this README file were AI-generated because we're in 2025. I used mostly o1 to few-shot the app, and o3-mini-high to review/patch the final product and produce this README.

Functionality
folder2chat
Browse Folder: Opens a system dialog (if tkinter is available) to pick a folder.
Refresh Tree: Displays a hierarchical view (tree) of the chosen folder. By default, each folder is limited to 100 items (folders/files).
Generate Report: Lets you check checkboxes next to individual files and produce a text-based “report” with their contents. Only files matching the allowed text extensions are included in the report (defaults: .txt, .md, .py, etc.).
Global Settings
Items per folder (limit): Adjust how many entries are displayed per folder in the tree.
Text Extensions: Add or remove the file extensions recognized as “text” (affects which files will be included in the generated report).
Default Excluded Folders: Control which folders get skipped entirely (e.g., node_modules).
Save Settings: Saves the new settings to config.json so they persist across restarts.
Report
Shows the final compiled text of all selected files (including any error notes if some files could not be read).
Copy to Clipboard: Copies the report text to your clipboard using the modern Clipboard API (with a legacy fallback).
