A simple and Qt file manager for Linux
Project description
tfm
Simple file manager implemented in Qt for Python (Qt5). 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 problems.
The project is in a pre alpha stage right now and thus it is not advised to use it at the moment.
If you still want to try it, a python package is available in the dist directory of this repository
Features
- basic directory traversal
- window layout with toolbar, statusbar, main table view, fs tree and bookmarks
- open files using xdg-open
- cut, copy, paste (with progress information), renaming
- named bookmarks to directories
- show/hide dotfiles
- throw files and directories in the trash
- drag and drop (always moves)
- cli to open with a path or file url supplied
- show, mount and unmount devices using udevil
How to install
There are experimental python packages in dist/. Install at your own risk using:
pip install ./dist/tfm-0.0.3.dev0.tar.gz
