Ideas and features

[GiorgosXou]

Just because I don't have a well centralised place to keep my TUIFI ideas at the momment, I decided to create this place where i will post some potential ideas

[GiorgosXou]

💡 Create a watchdog in Python to look for filesystem changes (with an option for those who don't want to use it [for optimization reasons])

[GiorgosXou]

💡 Auto clone repositories and download files if theres any link in the clipboard

• (reminder to check if also files present on the "virtual clipboard" of tuifi)
• (maybe discard virtual clipboard on the change of the real clipboard ?)

[GiorgosXou]

💡 individual thread with progressbar when copying files (opperations on large files is slow sometimes)

[GiorgosXou]

💡 Focus on file when tuifi is called with a file (For apps that have an option of "show in folder" eg. chromium under downloads)

[GiorgosXou]

💡 Navigation history (CTRL+O\H CTRL+I\L [although ctrl+h seems to output something weird, anyways] and something for the normal mode) + TUI arrow-buttons on the bottom bar?

[GiorgosXou]

💡 TabStates - a memory efficient tab-component that uses a single instance of TUIFIManager

[GiorgosXou]

💡 left-right treeview (with pined locations too)

[GiorgosXou]

💡 Recent files

[GiorgosXou]

💡 Plugins for more complex things (eg. ability to integrate z command)

[GiorgosXou]

💡 Add extensions: iml dart, swift cmake

[GiorgosXou]

💡 Add custom right click options per file

[GiorgosXou]

like zip

[GiorgosXou]

💡 Corrupted or 0-byte files like psd to get other icon or something?

[GiorgosXou]

eg. thunar does this

[GiorgosXou]

💡 Icon packs

[GiorgosXou]

But i think I have to fix color support stuff first

[GiorgosXou]

Random potential Icon Ideas:

    '/7z':TUIFIProfile((
        ' ┳━━┫┣━┓┳ \n'
        ' ┃┃░┃┣━━┫ \n'
        ' ┃┃░┃┣━━┫ \n'
        ' ┻━━┫┣━┛┻ '
    ),2, DEFAULT_OPENER),
    '/zip':TUIFIProfile((
        ' ┳━━┳┣━┓┳ \n'
        ' ┻┃░┃┣━━┫ \n'
        ' ┳┃░┃┣━━┫ \n'
        ' ┻━━┻┣━┛┻ '
    ),2, DEFAULT_OPENER),
    '/lz':TUIFIProfile((
        ' ╭━━┓┣━╮┳ \n'
        ' ┃┃░┃┣━━┫ \n'
        ' ┃┃░┃┣━━┫ \n'
        ' ╰━━┫┣━╯┻ '
    ),2, DEFAULT_OPENER),

[GiorgosXou]

That's a nice one

    '/zip':TUIFIProfile((
        ' ▃▃▃│╮▃▃▃ \n'
        ' ▒▒▒││▒▒▒ \n'
        ' ▓▓▓││▓▓▓ \n'
        ' ZIP╰│▀▀▀ '
    ),2, DEFAULT_OPENER),

[GiorgosXou]

Ah.. this feels so niceeee

[Sigmanificient]

I think allowing to have a second tone for the text info (ZIP in logo, PNG, ...) be could nice, what do you think?

[GiorgosXou]

I think that every character could have a different tone, but it's not the right time yet. I might also drop support for very old non 256-colored terminals (which will fix the theme issue too).
