Filedime, an open source almost feature complete file explorer written in Rust (for all filesystem interaction,backend), Tauri(for frontend, front-backend intercom).
Features implemented:
- multi window, open in new window open in right click context menu
- tabs, open in new tab option in context menu
- hot reload/ monitor for changes: markdown, html files using the watch button that shows up on previewing the file.
- search with speed and responsiveness parity with fzf
- folder size compute with speed and responsiveness parity with baobab(Disk Usage Analyzer).
- bookmark files or folders.
- details screen for list sort by date, size.
- optionally show immediate sub folder count of a folder.
- recent files list.
- show image dimension along with file type. (cannot use image crate as it cannot be used on nixos in default preference)
- move files
- undo last operation
- show ramdisk among files (for the time being can bookmark ramdisk)
Subtle features
- path autocomplete as you type.
- no of each file type in present location.
- show name of right click file above context menu
- show file location on hover
- show device vendor name on hover
- LOC for ts, rs, js, java, md ,css, html, toml, etc more can be implemented as required.
Will be added based on demand
- System Tray icons for opening new window and access recent files.

clone the repo
bun i
should use node version 20
in a new terminal window "cargo tauri dev" for testing.
in a new terminal window "cargo tauri build" for making executables (.exe for windows or bin file on linux).
when browsing through code use the extensions listed in extensions.code-profile in vscodium/vscode when building on nixos use the shell.nix file provided if necessary
currently the code may contains lots of comments in rust it will be cleared up in the future.
