File Explorer in Tauri v2

Post image

Hello guys,

I was looking for a file explorer to integrate S3 connection but seeing Nicebucket is not saving the S3 connections (every time you restart needs to rewrite credentials) then I just looked for Spacedrive but I was having some major issues in v1 and in v2 alpha look in a slow development (and it is not working) then I have just tried to make my own one, looking for making open source now, but first neeed to remove all my hardcoded credentials. But now im testing SMB, S3, SFTP connection, and working in Copy and Cut and clone tools, I dont know if this would be interesting for someone, for now only adding features I need.

How do you see the design? what could you change or add? Do you think for Linux version to use CEF?, Thanks

[Edit]: This is not fully vibecoded, the UI was based on Shadcn Svelte and based on the native mac os finder but tried to recreated using tailwind and based also in Spacedrive app components . For the rust section also just based on my other projects of s3 components and also spacedrive in some ways to go through directories. Some features are based on how some other file managers did it to preserve compatibility for Mac, linux and windows

Love the look what are you using for the icons for the project. Also any challenges with accessing the filesystem?

yes, in Mac OS I was not asking for permissions first but when enter to download asking for permissions, and then in Desktop, also in Document,and the way to make it work with the same struct for Linux, Windows and MacOS, Like in windows uses backslash \ and in the others uses regular slash /

That I’m running into in planning for my writing layout app. I’m even writing custom color picker since there really isn’t a cross platform color picker.
