What’s the big selling point compared to

?It’s pretty fancy.
I haven’t used any of the 3, but from a look over them superfile looks a lot more user friendly and has a nicer overall look.
Edit; the install process is rough though, complains about missing glibc but searching for that package in apt doesn’t show anything promising. It also seems to require some kind of third party font that isn’t included? I gave up lol that’s too much for me to deal with.
Glibc is the gnu c library. You wouldn’t just download that from apt. I’m surprised your Linux distro doesn’t already have that installed.
It depends on the distro which release is installed and available. So certainly the problem is, the required and installed glibc library do not match.
Could be a (too) old version if you’re still on the Ubuntu 22.04 base
@lemmyreader Looks quite snazzy!
Lovely little utility.
Shut up and take my money.
It has a font requirement? That’s just weird…
Not really? It has alot of icons which are all driven by nerd font. Also you can basically use any font you want, neard just addes some extra glyphs
Thanks for the share!
I’ve always liked tui file managers, broot is a pretty cool one as well.
Looks very cool!
This looks super cool, but I’ve been using midnight commander for so so long.
Those who don’t know Norton Commander are condemned to reinvent it.
Oy! You rick rolled us.
Not written in rust, yuck! 😆
How else is it going to fit inside of 25kb? Can they even make rust executables under 1GB?
Did you mean 1MB? With correct settings, you get under 1MB Rust binaries and with even more compression using upx it gets to 300KB, probably less for much simpler applications. Rust applications aren’t that big of a deal as people make it to be; within reasons off course.
Not sure where you got the 25kb number from.
This tool is written in go and is a 7.8 MB compiled binary.
Oh wow, a text based file manager is that big ? That’s half of my openwrt router’s memory
Because it’s a statically compiled binary, it tends to grow the size of the binary. Increases portability though.
Linux user. Installs fancy gui. Uses terminal for file management.
/Use your own meme format.
This file manager made me ditch nnn, very well done!
care to elaborate why? aka give some details on the advantages of superfile? for how long did you use nnn?
It had some functionalities that nnn did not have like displaying processes or favourite directories and such. In the end I got back to nnn because I read that superfile had internet access plus the fact that I use a graphical file manager for things that nnn or many terminal file managers can not do with extensive plugins.
Uhm both displaying copy/move process and having shortcuts for “favourite” dirs is quite possible with nnn. Although for the later I mostly use -S argument for persistent session.
The only drawback of nnn in my book is the kind of weird/cumbersome way to configure it eith ENV variables. And the non-existent preview image display under wayland.
Yeah, having to customize with env variables is not great, and adding bookmarks is much easier in superfile. Anyway I suposse one does not set bookmarks to often. Plus nnn was so fast I just tapped they keys to get to the directory I needed easily. Once I learned most shortcuts I was flying trough operarions.
Commenting so I can grab this later
Feels like

, but way more stylized and cool.That name tho… Maybe could have chosen a different one.
