Parent directory button in catalog.html

[PBrockmann]

In 2016, this question was asked:
"Could it be possible to have a parent dir button in every sub dir when using a datasetScan in thredds ?"
Unidata/thredds#590

Is it possible today ?

It's still not possible today, unfortunately. It is feasible to implement, and would actually be great for us for providing support as well, so that's good motivation, but we have a lot of balls in the air right now and I don't see it to the top of the stack of features to implement very soon. I'll leave this issue open to revisit :)

Yes, interested to try to implement this basic missing feature.
I will investigate the customization of page.

So it's all about Thymeleaf Templates.
Any recommendation ?

It is possible to add you own html using thymeleaf snippets, including navigations and links, however I think some code changes would need to make made such that the link the the parent dir is always available from a lower level dir or dataset context. That's where it get's hairy.
