πŸ’– PATHFINDER(1) πŸ’–

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 πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

PathFinder β€” it's a simple file manager, no cap πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

PathFinder [startdir]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you can hand it a startdir if you want, or not, she's flexible πŸŽ€


🫢 DESCRIPTION 🫢

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 πŸ’…
  • customizable file- and directory icons β€” make it yours, decorate the whole thing, main character energy only ✨
  • directory bookmarking β€” save your fave spots so you never have to scroll-hunt again πŸŽ€
  • drag and drop β€” and the bestie part? it's compatible with KDE and GNOME so she plays nice with everybody 🀝
  • 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 πŸ™ˆ

and ngl? it is probably the fastest file manager you've ever seen πŸ”₯ like fr fr, that's not me hyping, that's just what the page says and I'm obsessed.
