lpfman

Though many key features have been implemented, lpfman is in an early stage of development and is not yet ready for distribution.

lpfman is a terminal-based file manager which supports the display of detailed file attributes in columns--a feature sorely lacking in all other TUI-FMs. Column data is generated asynchronously using multiple threads with visible rows being prioritised in the task queue. Many column presets are available but you can also provide your own column generation functions in your columns.toml config file.

Quickstart

As list_picker is in active development you will need to clone it as well

git clone https://github.com/grimandgreedy/lpfman

cd lpfman

python -m pip install -e ./

Run the file manager:
