This is the project of the Files app, a file browser for
GNOME, internally known by its historical name nautilus.
Only latest version of Files as provided upstream is supported. Try out the Flatpak nightly installation before filling issues to ensure the installation is reproducible and doesn't have downstream changes on it. In case you cannot reproduce in the nightly installation, don't hesitate to file an issue in your distribution. This is to ensure the issue is well triaged and reaches the proper people.
To build the development version of the Files app and hack on the code see the general guide for building GNOME apps with Flatpak and GNOME Builder.
Commit messages should follow the expected format detailed here.
- Bubblewrap installed. Used for security reasons.
- Tracker (including tracker-miners) properly set up and with all features enabled. Used for fast search and metadata extraction, starred files and batch renaming.
For more informal discussion we use GNOME Discourse in the Applications category with the nautilus tag. Feel free to open a topic there.
Documentation for the libnautilus-extension API is available here. Also, if you are interested in developing a Nautilus extension in Python you should refer to the nautilus-python documentation.
