It seems to me that the directory generator is not really based

Is that intended or just not implemented for the lack of time?
I would like to make this more generic with regard to other sources,
e.g.
JCR or whatever. If this makes sense then I would patch the
DirectoryGenerator,
but otherwise I would write a "DirectoryGenerator" from scratch, e.g
CollectionGenerator which is making use the TraversableSource interface.
You don't have to:
$COCOON_HOME/src/blocks/repository/java/org/apache/cocoon/generation/TraversableGenerator.java
thanks very much for the pointer. I think it would make sense to make a
note
within the DirectoryGenerator that the TraversableGenerator exists and is
more generic.
In fact IMHO, it should be deprecated in favor of TraversableGenerator...

As a user, I found that DirectoryGenerator didn't do what I wanted, so I
went down the path of creating a variant of (not extending)
DirectoryGenerator essentially to show meta-information (using POIFS) of
MS-Office files and images (I also added ImageGenerator functionality
and added .png, .ico, .bmp).
Output looks like this:

Looking at TraversableGenerator, I saw a reference to an
'InspectableSource'. This seems a better way to go.
(As a user) Is there a way to achieve the same outcome using
TraversableGenerator and 'InspectableSource'?
(As a developer) Should I be extending 'InspectableSource' with POIFS or
am I better off sticking with a custom generator?
The end goal is to extract meta-info and include it in the directory
listing & then use Lucene to index the meta info - so a variety of file
types need to be 'inspected'
