π PATHFINDER(1) π
okay bestie, welcome to the PathFinder man page β it's in the General Commands Manual, section 1, and it's literally about to change your whole file-management era π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
PathFinder β it's a simple file manager, no cap π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
PathFinder [startdir]
that's it. that's the whole vibe. you can hand it a startdir if you want, or not, she's flexible π
π«Ά DESCRIPTION π«Ά
okay so here's the tea, PathFinder comes absolutely stacked:
- file mime-type bindings β she knows what everything is and she knows what to do with it π
- customizable file- and directory icons β make it yours, decorate the whole thing, main character energy only β¨
- directory bookmarking β save your fave spots so you never have to scroll-hunt again π
- drag and drop β and the bestie part? it's compatible with KDE and GNOME so she plays nice with everybody π€
- wildcard matching β this one's for hiding some of the files so the view doesn't get cluttered. reduce the number of visible files, protect your peace π
and ngl? it is probably the fastest file manager you've ever seen π₯ like fr fr, that's not me hyping, that's just what the page says and I'm obsessed.
