Spin FM file manager reaches RC3

Quite a big release and with many changes, Spin FM file manager has reached its RC3 iteration. This is a culmination of 3 years of work and things are looking good. Since this is still an RC release there might be issues that need fixing.

Here is how it looks at the moment, with its UI simplified and integrated usb device mounter – among other features.

Linux file manager: Spin FM

The code is available at its Github page: https://github.com/postman721/Spin-Fm/tree/main

I also made a Linux binary/executable that should just work, without all the hassle of installing Python libraries: https://github.com/postman721/Spin-Fm/tree/main/binary

Spin-FM 2.0 RC1 released

The Python file manager has reached its next version. RC1 brings:

Moving to Pyside2:

sudo apt install pyside2-*

  • Close tabs button added: This will always close the latest opened tab.
  • Copy, paste, move to functionalities improved.
  • More tabs added.
  • Green theme added.
  • Removing permanent delete, due to its risks
  • Please notice that on all file & folder actions, the addressbar object name tells what is being processed.
  • Back and forward store only the most recent locations.

When the content of the folder or location changes and does not seem to refresh, remember to refresh the tree via addressbar navigation. For example: Type /home and hit return/enter from the keyboard.

Do not paint your selections for copying, moving or deletion with a mouse: This will likely cause issues. Press CTRL and point and click through the objects.

After selected, right-click and choose a proper menu action.

For copying and moving: Select for copying or moving. For deletion: Delete objects.

After copying or moving selection, navigate to your target location and choose Copy to.. or Move to… from the right-click menu.
