Joshuto: Why Not Clone Ranger In Rust!

there's so much rust around, people need to better protect their code from oxidation

There is also Felix also written in RUST

I started using Joshuto few days ago and it's like LF for me. I like multiple configuration files(keymaps, icons, main one). It's easy to use.

TOML is fine. The way they’re using it isn’t.

Great video! I will say I disagree with your take on toml not being good, toml format is great 👍 It's concise, easily human readible compared to json, and much more predictable compared to yaml. The "junk" in the config files you vaguely complained about is a result of the author's choice for that config schema I would argue and has nothing to do with toml itself.

How to add icons in joshuto
It say have a supporting font. But in lf icons show joshuto doesnt'

I'm sticking with Ranger. Works great, well documented, great previews, excellent help system.

any idea how do I change highlight color in ranger?

Been looking for something to replace ranger with, instead what I do is extending it indefinitely.

Wow! I was wondering why my project randomly received 40 stars in the span of 2 days 😂 😂.
This project was primarily started as a way of learning Rust for me. But over the years, its basically replaced ranger for me in terms of features.

Thanks for all the feedback! I'll definitely add better documentation for configurations.
If you have a better config file format in mind, I'm definitely open to switching. One thing I've realized is how repetitive the config files are (it'd be nice to have variables or something), but I'm also kind of lazy to write a parser for an in-house format.
The open_with happens because the file doesn't have any extensions and currently joshuto does not read mimetypes. (same behaviour as ranger when it doesn't know how to open a file)
Running shell commands kind of work right now, but I really need to flush out the command line system so thats been on the backlog.
I will need to fix that set_mode bug lol.

Maybe I should make a video on my project too xD

I'll also need to check out lf. Maybe it suits my needs and more xd

I prefer ferro ferric oxide

navigating directories using [ brackets ], as well as renaming with a, A, i and I: you mentioned not knowing of any other file manager doing that, but they're already part of ranger

Someday we will see "Archived" sign on Ranger's github

Why not create something new in Rust, rather than just copying something existing in Rust, just because you've got a hard on for a currently fashionable language?

Why do I have to keep adding additional compiler and library bloat to my (Gentoo) Linux systems just for one or two programs written in that fashionable language?

Why does Rust have an unnecessary dependency on the "SSE2" CPU flag which means that it's now virtually impossible to compile a Linux system on pre-Pentium 4 CPUs that don't support that flag, as more and more of Linux is "re-written" in that fashionable language?

I've nothing personal against Rust except that I am an old bloke and a traditional "engineer" with the attitude "if it works, don't fix it. And if it used to work and it breaks it, that's not an improvement."

I think you just missed `[` before `extension]` at the top of `mimetype.toml` and thats why it didn't work.

Rule 34 of programming languages: if It exists there is a Rust version of it

The app crashes when using wrong permissions because the Dev is handling the error with a panic!, which means he knows of the issue and will add a better error handling in the future. :-D

Why would someone use a terminal without tabs but a terminal file manager with tabs

Every day, we are one step closer to 100% of our programs being written in Rust

from ~/converted/ and ~/music/, we can be sure he is in the rabbit hole

Also what about image previews?

Not related question: Can we have bat like color schemes inside vim?

Donut.blend?
You saw that tutorials by blender guru, didnt you? 😁

There's another Rust rewrite of Ranger called Hunter, but it hasn't been updated in almost a year.

This is out of control. God help us.

emacs dired?

making rust clones is my nindo… my ninja way… believe it!

i read somewhere in 4chan that rust is bad. Therefore, this program is garbage.

Rust is cringe but native code always better and faster than cringe Python

edit: Also I would use the git version from the AUR for now since I had a issue with not being able to select stuff with Alacritty

oooh
