UFM (UNIX File Manager)

Team Members: Naowal Rahman, Rahel Arka

Project Description

UFM is a simple file manager that can be used to browser directories and files. You can preview hovered-on directories and see metadata for hovered-on files. Files can be deleted or opened in an applicable program. The current date and size of the current directory are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Instructions

Compilation

Ncurses is required. This should be installed on most UNIX systems, but refer to your Linux distribution's package manager for installing the library.

This is how you run the program:

make compile
make run

Just make also suffices.

Usage

There are several keybinds:

Key	Action
h or left arrow	Go back a directory
l or right arrow or Enter	If hovering on directory, go to that directory. If hovering on file, open that file in an applicable program
j or down arrow	Go down a file
k or up arrow	Go up a file
Backspace	Delete hovered-on file or directory
f	Create a file
d	Create a directory
