Ha, nice idea, but I don't know C++ and that's a yak I won't shave :) I've also tried working with a folder with symlinks, and I discarded the idea for some reason I'm not really sure on (I think it has something to do with the fact that entering a symlinked directory will have you work inside the symlink, rather than the symlink's target).

    Thank you :) I've not been successfull really thus far. My best hope is that someone cooks up something in Rust that I can contribute to/fork to make it into what I want. One can dream ;) I use doublecmd right now, which ticks many boxes, but has some other oddities.

    Yeah, so, bookmarks, I "just" need to be able to organize them, like with a folder structure (or even subfolders, but I don't want to get greedy), and name them independently of their target. Using tags as a folder substitute is probably ok, that's why I looked at blazepilot. I also don't want that dreaded "places" list wasting my screen space, so maybe putting them into a menu or behind a shortcut is in order...

    Dolphin is somewhat ok-ish, exactly like you say. It's slightly better than that gnome-thingy I'm forced to use at work, but the bookmarks aspect it important enough for me to avoid it for personal usage (where I'm free to choose).

    "File commands don’t block GUI" means: If I e.g. copy a file, I want to directly use the filemanager, even while the copy is still running. I think most of the more popular file managers do this, but it is really important :)

    • Real bookmark management (a flat list of places doesn't do, especially not if the name of the bookmark must be the name of the folder)
    • I need 2 side by side, so let me disable the sidebar and react to the keypress +<Left/Right> (or make it a double-panel thing)
    • Tree view (where I can open subfolders) that keeps as much state as possible when refreshing
    • Configurable hotkeys (I especially want to open a terminal in either the folder I'm in or the folder I've selected or the folder the file I've selected is in)
    • Configurable file associations - image and program to open. That xdg-mime stuff doesn't cut it. It's fine to just do it by extension, and it's fine to just configure it for the file manager.
    • File operations don't block the GUI
    • Configurable context menu (the right click thing) - let me remove actions I don't want, and let me add my own
    • Bonus: A terminal below the panel that stays in the directory the panel is in (konqueror had this some time in the past, I loved that)
    • Bonus: When I drag&drop a file, ask me if I want to copy/move/link the file, don't use some sort of filesystem-based heuristics

    Wait, what? Any more details about this, I’ve never heard about that before. Partially run Drop impls sounds like a big potential for undefined behavior, how could catch_unwind possibly cause that?

    Yeah, no, I don't think this is true. It's the reason a double panic will cause an abort. The docs do recommend against using this for general error recovery, but there's no mention of any possibillity of inconsistent state.

    I did fill out the survey. Turns out I don't have a usecase for any of this, and therefore I'm in the "don't care" realm really, since I'm also not really appreciative of corresponding features in other languages I know. I'd generally be critical of the cost vs. gain balance here though...

    If you belong to the group of people playing World of Warcraft on linux somewhat competitively (there must be dozens of us!), you might be interested in progrs. It is an alternative to warcraftrecorder and used to create videos of your play. It monitors the combat log for interesting events (for now, deaths of players) and creates chapters in the video for easier searching. For now, only "encounters" are supported (might mean just raid bosses, but I've not done any testing in M+), but each try will end up its own video, just as in warcraft recorder.

    I'd be glad for anyone trying it out and giving feedback.

     

    Typst is "A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn". It's written in Rust, and particularly attractive because, while providing a CLI interface, it is a proper library that you can easily incorporate into your progress to produce documents. Protip: If you do so, have a look at sys.inputs, it's awesome!
