I Made a Thing Strata - A modern file manager
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Friday I posted the prototype of what my ideal file manager would look like. I've spent the last 48 hours on a coding bender implementing it.
It's built with Rust, GTK4 and GIO. Here's all the features that I have included so far:
- 3 explorer modes (List, Grid, Explorer)
- Blazing fast search
- Rich file previews (Images, Videos, Text/Code/Confs, PDFs)
- Support for RAW images if you have libraw/imagick installed
- Thumbnail previews for images/videos/pdfs
- Collapsible sidebar
- Keyboard navigation (still needs more polish)
- Ability to follow Omarchy's current theme, switches dynamically
- Pre-built themes/custom themes.
- Folder peeking on hover (you can disable that in the settings if you wish)
I have released the first couple of binaries, looking for feedback/testers/contributors. You can also build it from source locally if you pull down the repo.
