Why is it making network connections when I run it?
the hero we need
Good to know. How do you test if a program makes network connections? Do you just open Wireshark and look at outgoing traffic?
Did you check what the connections are about ? Maybe it is only checking for new updates ?
It wanted to download a zip file. Apparently it was a theme. But, I’m not letting a local file manager talk to the internet randomly. If I want to update it, I’ll update it myself. Or, at least provide an option to enable it on first run.
Uninstalled.
Those who don’t know Norton Commander are condemned to reinvent it.
Or DOS Shell.
This is much prettier, though.
Linux user. Installs fancy gui. Uses terminal for file management.
/Use your own meme format.
Not written in rust, yuck! 😆
/s !/s
Go is pretty cool, better than R
Why would you even compare Go with R though?
Because R would be weird for this use case hence Go being better for it
But why bring it up at all? Nobody said anything about R so why make that comparison?
Why dismiss all languages that aren’t rust?
R and rust are two completely different languages…
How else is it going to fit inside of 25kb? Can they even make rust executables under 1GB?
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.
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.
The one issue I have with Rust apps is how much memory they need to compile (depending on the app ofc). I could not install Pika Backup from AUR on a laptop with 4 GB of RAM for instance because the compilation would run out of memory. It’s one case where I was glad flatpak is an option.
Ah, Midnight Commander, how have I missed you.
What’s the big selling point compared to
ranger,nnn,yaziorbroot?It’s pretty fancy.
I like 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.
Could be a (too) old version if you’re still on the Ubuntu 22.04 base
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.
It’s definitely a big learning curve with how complex installing things on linux is haha, I’m still used to windows just open the exe installer and that’s it.
Looks great, I’ll give it a bash
It looks like midnight commander with some upgrades
I love mc for its sftp/ssh capabilities. It makes it so much easier to do remote admin/support.
This looks super cool, but I’ve been using midnight commander for so so long.
Commenting so I can grab this later
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.
How does it look like in a proper 80x25?
Feels like
diredandmc, but way more stylized and cool.Yes. I do like that.
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
