intfl

Interactive file listing.

Dependencies

ncursesW - for unicode support. ncurses - for colors and mouse support on many of the UNIX systems.

development dependencies

doxygen for generating documentation doxygen-awesome-css for night theme support, download it using: git submodule update --init --recursive

usage

intfl [-adfgsu] [-L level] [--ascii] [--du] [--files-limit #] [--help]  [--no-colors] [--prune] [--version] 

options

file printing

• -a, --all all files, shows files which filenames started from '.', excluding for . and ...

• -d, or --dirs-only print directories only.

• -L level, --print-max-depth level max level to descend into subdirectories, by default level is 5

• --files-limit # max number of files to print, by default it's 15

• --prune do not print empty directories

• -f, --print-filepathes

• -u, --user print file owner

• -g, --group print group

• -s, --size print the file size

• --du, --disk-usage calculate directories size by their content

• --no-colors do not use colors

• --ascii ascii-only graphics

other

• --help
• --version

Planed feautures

• 1. limit displayed files, to avoid visual cluttering.
• 2. expand/collaps directories by just clicking on them.
• 3. utility remembers settings for each launched directory.
• 4. updates whenever files changed using inotify.
• 5. fuzzy search.
• 6. maximum integration with external utilities & programs such as tmux, vim, helix editor.

TODO

• basic file listing

• limit quantity of shown files and depth of directories

• basic keyboard support

• basic commands support

• unicode support (GCC version above 12.3, I've problems on 12.2.0)

• better input handling

• expand/collapse

• mouse support

• doxygen documentation
