dfiles

A simple file manager for Linux/Sway/Wayland. DFiles is a simple file manager that supports the basic file operations, it uses yad for the interface. I used to use Thunar and Nautilus file managers on Sway/Wayland (with disabled Xwayland) but they pull in a few dependencies especially Nautilus is annoying because it depends on those tracker-miners which use quite a bit of resources and moreover are completely useless for me personally, so I decided to create a simple file manager to do basic file operations whenever I'm too lazy to open a terminal :). I created it for myself to use with Sway on Debian. If someone finds it useful for his/her situation, I'd be happy :).

What you can do with dfiles

1. Browse your files and directories.
2. Do a quick search, quickly navigate to the path you need.
3. Create a new file/directory, rename/copy/cut/delete selected files/directories.
4. Open the terminal in the current location (by default the foot terminal is used so either install foot or modify the code).
5. Display file/directory information.
6. Manage USB and Android devices (mount/unmount).
7. Manage the mimetypes (add/edit/reset).
8. Supports icon themes and icon sizes (provided by the theme, some non-standard themes might not work).
