FigUI: The pythonic file UI

The aim of FigUI is to provide a single desktop application to view, edit, process and convert various file types - images, videos, audio files, 3D model files, binary files, log files, code files, pdf, excel, ppt files etc. You get the picture :P . This is just a passion project and don't expect this to be a replacement for gnome apps, VSCode or VLC :|

File formats to be supported:

  1. Text: (txt, md, rst, log)
  2. Code: (most coding languages: think python, Javascript, C, C++, Java, Perl, Ruby, anything code mirror can highlight :P, JSON, JSONL, pickle files, github flavored markdown, html, css, scss, less etc.)
  3. Audio: (mp3, wav, ogg etc.)
  4. Document: ppt/ CSVs
  5. Image: (still images formats such as png, jpg, svg (technically they are more like html files though :P), ico, bmp etc. as well as more dynamic formats such as gif)
  6. Video: (mp4, mov, webm etc.)
  7. Archives: (zip, 7zip etc)

Credits to some really great JS and Python repos/code snippets:
