The final missing file operation, delete, was implemented with changeset 00d262026653db286402bba23aeb21f95512594b.
Navigator now can
- create a new empty or zero-filled file
- create a directory
- copy files/directories
- move files/directories
- verify files
- delete files/directories
Selecting multiple files/directories is not supported in Navigator, but the operations are recursive. Progress is reported, if the opreration takes more than 0.5s. If there is an I/O error or the destination file exists during copy/move, we ask the user how to proceed.
The logic is implemented in libfmgt and we also provide command-line utilities newfile, newdir, copy, move, delete, verify that provide a very similar experience on the command line (progress updates, interaction).
Navigator is available in 0.11.2, but it can currently only browse directories and start applications. I will keep this open until it get at least basic file management features - e.g., copy, delete, rename and move.
