tfm 0.0.2.dev0

A simple and Qt file manager for *NIX

tfm

Simple file manager implemented in Qt for Python. This project aims to create a simple, desktop agnostic, unix file-manager. The initial version is going to be implemented in Python, though this might change in a later version, if there are performance problemss. The Project is in a proof of concept stage right now and it is not advised to use it at the moment.

Features:

• basic directory traversal
• window layout with toolbar, statusbar, main table view, fs tree and bookmarks
• open files using xdg-open
• cut, copy, paste, delete (with confirmation), renaming
• named bookmarks to folders
• show/hide dotfiles

How to install

Don't right now. Making packages is the next item on my list though.

Screenshots

Are going to be here soon.

Roadmap

Next features to implement:

• show, mount and unmount devices using udevil or pmount
• xdg-trash

Non-Features

These features are going to be intentionally omitted:

• dependencies on specific desktop environments
• windows management like tabs, split views or similar
• plugins or script support
• a lot of configuration options

These features are not going to be implemented by me, but I wouldn't reject a good pull request for them:

• Windows support
