Minimal file manager

Name: Anonymous 2015-05-24 18:40

Hello.
Do you know if there is a minimalist file manager?
I know there is a file browser: http://git.2f30.org/noice/
But it lacks features of a file manager: copy/paste, delete, move, rename, etc.
Thanks.

I use explorer.exe. Ask Reddit, they probably know.

Total Commander.

ranger is a shitty bloated console-based file manager written in FIOC but it works and it even shows real image previews (not just colored ASCII, don't ask me how it works).

At least it's smaller than PCManFM, the smallest non-shit file manager with a GUI I know.

FreeGEM is quite nice, and has a very small footprint and is designed to run on slower computers.

Every time you change directory it makes a little burp; copy a file - a fart; move a folder - an angry fart tirade, and when you delete a folder, you get a "there's gotta be shit in the underpants now" fart-plosion.

I'm not gonna ask you how it works.

PCManFM
SpaceFM is/was better.
But all GUI file managers are bloated.

"All" needed is to take noice and add the features of a file manager (copy, paste, rename, move, etc.). noice is currently just a file browser.

Nice, w3mimgdisplay really isn't that complex, could be used.

>>15
I can't see why?
It will just be a suckless file manager instead of a suckless file browser.
Whatever, who even cares if it gets the ``suckless seal of approval''? As long as it's good and not over-complex/heavy it's all good.

It doesn't explain how it gets displayed. I guess it all boils down to X magic.

Just read full thing, it's really small.

Doesn't even require "X magic", it uses the framebuffer.

I fail to see how this source code uses the framebuffer at all. The magic must come from other place.

terminals are bad (we are still emulating terminals just to run old programs in 2015?)
ncurses itself is a bad way to program for them

That is only possible if you are running w3m on a raw framebuffer device, which is rather useless if you want to run anything else on the same physical display. Looking at the code, I doubt the author even tests that the code works using anything other than jfbterm.

If you are running under X, w3mimg will try this horrible crap instead:

http://w3m.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/w3m/w3m/w3mimg/x11/x11_w3mimg.c?view=markup

I'm no expert on X by any means but it looks like this just tries to guess what X window w3m is running on, creates a pixmap over the window, and uses the appropriate toolkit to draw into it... which probably creates a bunch of copies and performs like shit. But hey, you're probably using this to view GIFs on a >2 GHz x86, so what do you care?
