superfile - A pretty fancy and modern terminal file manager

What's the big selling point compared to ranger, nnn, yazi or broot?

Those who don’t know Norton Commander are condemned to reinvent it.

Why is it making network connections when I run it?

Good to know. How do you test if a program makes network connections? Do you just open Wireshark and look at outgoing traffic?
the hero we need
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.

Not written in rust, yuck! 😆

/s !/s
Go is pretty cool, better than R
- Why would you even compare Go with R though?
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.

Ah, Midnight Commander, how have I missed you.

Looks great, I'll give it a bash

Feels like dired and mc, but way more stylized and cool.

Yes. I do like that.

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.
- Every time I install Windows the first thing I download is total commander. I can't function without it.

Lovely little utility.

Shut up and take my money.

"pretty fancy" or "pretty, fancy, and ... "?

How does it look like in a proper 80x25?

@lemmyreader Looks quite snazzy!

This looks super cool, but I've been using midnight commander for so so long.

Linux user. Installs fancy gui. Uses terminal for file management.

/Use your own meme format.

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.

Oy! You rick rolled us.

Looks very cool!

That name tho... Maybe could have chosen a different one.

Nah, its easy to remember. Its a good name
What's wrong with it?
- Try saying: "I'm a (the name of the project)" out loud, and let me know how that sounds.

I like nnn

awesome

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.

Commenting so I can grab this later
