I'm kinda still shopping around for a good graphical filemanager. This is of course still very raw, but the tagging system might actually take care of the bookmark aspect, which is very important to me.

  • Unused deps: cfg-if, mime_guess, sysinfo

  • Unused dep openssl. There are mentions of it being used for "remote compilation". I have no idea what that means, or how it would work by adding a dependency like this. Not only openssl is not referenced anywhere in code, but it's not even a build/dev dependency, and there is no build.rs file.

  • Depends on ffmpeg-sidecar which apparently downloads ffmpeg binaries from weird places if ffmpeg is not in $PATH, a crate apparently "inspired" by webshits, and based on a GitHub action (which clearly has a very different threat model compared to executing those binaries on end-user machines).

    This looks good but the readme gives major AI vibes - anyone know more about the AI usage on this project? I’ll trust a clanker with translating / formatting the readme but absolutely not with writing code to handle my files lol

    I've no idea. I kinda assume AI is basically used everywhere, but unless explicitely stated one can seldom be sure.

    AI is used to various extents:

    • Some projects do not use AI. The quality of the project is a direct output of the skill and experience of its developers.
    • Some projects use AI lightly. Where AI is used, developers review the output, and it's not trusted to produce large features or even code at all in some cases.
    • Some projects use AI heavily. These projects generally adopt "move fast and break things" mentality which naturally means they both move fast and break things.
    • Some projects are pretty much entirely AI generated. These projects adopt the "break things" mentality. It's like watching someone jogging in place fall over and break both of their legs, and in the process crush someone's pet.

    For a file manager, I would be careful how much I trust AI output.
