A simple file explorer that was born because I wanted to learn the Rust language.
It is operating system independent and trimmed for optimization.
The performance is provided by "jwalk" and "Tauri".
CoDriver does not use path caching to access files and folders, so the performance is achieved by Rust, the speed of the disk and the power of the cpu.

Setup your machine for developing tauri v1 applications: Tauri prerequisites
When this is done just do git clone https://github.com/RickyDane/CoDriver or gh repo clone RickyDane/CoDriver in a location on your machine.
You should be able to run cargo tauri dev in the root directory of this project to start building and running CoDriver.
Be sure to have tauri-cli installed: cargo install tauri-cli
