NFFM - Nothing Fancy File Manager ------------ Introduction ------------ I decided to write this little file manager because I wanted to learn some C and I thought a file manager would be a good learning tool. Capabilities are limited at the moment. You can nagivate through your filesystem, open, delete, rename, create files, filter files by extension or filter for file that begins with in the current directory. Folders can also be created and deleted. It is also possible to archive+gzip selected files. So nothing fancy... --------------------- Compile & Installation --------------------- Use the Makefile or gcc -g nffm.c -lncurses -o nffm Archlinux package in the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60782 There are two configuration files: extension.conf color.conf The files should be placed in $HOME/.config/nffm/. If not, NFFM will attempt to use the files in /etc/nffm. ----------- Description ----------- NFFM (Not a Fancy File Manager) is a mouseless ncurses file manager written in C. The left pane lists the directories, the middle pane lists the files within the current directory and the right pane lists files marked for further action. Navigation through the file manager is mainly done throught keys h, j, k, l and tab. One can modify the config.h file and recompile the program to modify the key binding. Eventually, there will be an rc file... ---------- Navigation ---------- On the display, each file and directories are numbered. On the current active pane (the pane in bold), typing n16 followed by Enter key will bring the cursor on the 16th entry. While the directory pane, arrow right drill down the directories and list on the middle panes the files. The left arrow key navigates to the parrent directory. ----------- Key Binding ----------- Here are some of the implemented keys. More in config.h file . (period) show hidden directgory and files h Goto $HOME directory / Goto / directory o Open selected file d Deleted selected file m Mark selected file D Delete marked file r Rename selected file S-U Page up S-F Page down q Quit f Filter by file extension ^ Filter files by beginning of expression To delete multiple files, use the m key to mark the files, then D to delete the selected files. Hidden files and directories are not showed by default. Use . (period) to show the hidden files and directories. ---------------- File Association ---------------- NFFM uses its own file association file which shall be stored in $HOME/.config/nffm/. It is not perfect but so far so good. Here is what the extension.conf file looks like: c /usr/bin/urxvt -e vim default /usr/bin/urxvt -e vim conf /usr/bin/urxvt -e vim cpp /usr/bin/urxvt -e vim gif /usr/bin/feh gz /usr/bin/xarchiver h /usr/bin/urxvt -e vim html /usr/bin/urxvt -e vim jpeg /usr/bin/feh jpg /usr/bin/feh json /usr/bin/urxvt -e vim pdf /usr/bin/zathura png /usr/bin/feh py /usr/bin/urxvt -e vim sh /usr/bin/urxvt -e vim txt /usr/bin/urxvt -e vim vim /usr/bin/urxvt -e vim xz /usr/bin/xarchiver zip /usr/bin/xarchiver gnumeric /usr/bin/gnumeric ----------------------------- Color listing for files names ----------------------------- Color listing is as per $LS_COLORS environment variable. Color for folder listing is as per DIRCOLOR define in config.h ------------------------------- Archiving and compressing files ------------------------------- Must have tar and gzip installed. Default command is 'm' to mark the files follow by 'z'. In the message bar, enter the name of the archive. Exemple give MyArchiveName will create MyArchiveName.tar.gz. The tar.gz archive is created in the current folder. ------------ Moving files ------------ I assume default configuration keys. Use 'm' to mark the files to move while the file pane is active. Use tab key to activate folder pane. Navigate to the destination folder. The destination folder must be highlighted. Then hit 'M' (capital M) to move the files. ----------------- Delete many files ----------------- I assume default configuration keys. Use 'm' to mark the files to delete while the file pane is active. Use 'D' (capital D) to delete the marked files. Files are not going into a trash can. ---- ToDo ---- File copying Implement an rc file Fix window resize Other ideas.
