File browser - FB

Simple file browser implementation based on the embedded-graphics library and minimum additional dependencies. UI could be drawn with the standard linux framebuffer, winit + softbuffer or embedded graphics Simulator (sdl2).

NOTE: This project is the result of self-study of the Rust language and is not for the production use.

Features:

• latin and cyrillic (Russian) support: left special (win) or caps lock keys changes the locale
• basic file and directory operations (based on the direct libc functions calls)
• F1 - help
• F10 - exit

Files

• open and edit (only text files)
• create
• search with panelized result
• single/multiple copy with skip or overwrite existent option
• single/multiple delete

Directories

• open
• create
• search with panelized result
• single/multiple copy with skip or overwrite existent option
• single/multiple delete

Internal Editor

• view
• edit
• search text
• text block operations: select, copy, move, delete

Notes for the Linux framebuffer and keyboards events:

• For the framebuffer access under Linux user must be added into the video group: sudo usermod -a -G video [USER]
• For the keyboard events access under Linux user must be added into the input group: sudo usermod -a -G input [USER]

If bindgen results are shown in one string in the result file, try to install rustfmt: rustup component add rustfmt (rustup toolchain install nightly –component rustfmt)
