LF: File browsing, Image Previews written in Golang

Uebersug? I use sixel btw 🤣

I like Luke's kjv app. I install it everywhere i go.

I made the ~/.local/bin directory, put the script in there, made an alias in .bashrc and still have no idea how it's supposed to launch. bash: lfub: command not found.

love to yanks some dope configs

R.I.P. ueberzug. I have instability using lf with ueberzug. After 1st preview it is stuck in loading state. I am not able to figure out. If anyone has solution please reply.

Ueberzug has died.

The ueberzug creator did digital harakiri with his github project.

Is there a way to show only the second and third column (aka ranger)? The first column is useless for me.

I was wondering if it has a thumbnail mode for media folder browsing; looking for files based on visual input is pretty important when the size of your meme folder gets out of hand.

Very very cool!!! I'm thrilled!!!

UEBERZUG DOESN'T WORK IN WAYLAND.

imge preview Doesn't work for me I installed everything required, I tried iwth urxvt and st terminals.

have you done a video on how you startup your system? do you use LDM or SDM or just type startx in terminal or what?

You should do more Linux content when you can.

Oh please python is plenty fast enough. You provide no quantitative proof of your claims.

What's the shortcut for changing the terminal opacity?

Been saving my configs by directly editing stock configs in /etc or /usr/share/

I guess, I'd still live by ;p

So guess this is your last Linux video seeing as you've made videos on everything you use? In that case I thank you for your service over the years!

this is fantastic, thank you for the share

nice video but golang is bloated.

What keyboard is Luke using?

This is great, I love LF but have found it kind of hard to get in a state that could replace my old GUI file browser. Thank you for doing this

Are you going to comment on the node-ipc chaos? Please make content on this ASAP

Hi Brodie! Shapeshifting is a clever way to flex lf again. But your beard looks better on the original.

joshuto's faster and lighter than lf, written in rust xD

no videos again

I've been using vifm, pretty happy with it. Also uses uberzug for previews, but unfortunately there's no uberzug support for wayland

kant couldn't do it, fichte coudn't do it, schelling couldn't do it

file browsers are bloat, just use the cli

ncmpcpp actually stands for "ncurses music player client (in) C++," just saying. It is a horrible name though.

Why do Luke‘s dwm window gaps get bigger over time? What does this tell me about him?

Ey yo European gang here.

Lf has a "delete" command now, but not bound to any keys. So, you can just put "map D delete" in lfrc.

yeh this file manager, you prolly never heard of it

Luke ... most of the voidrice repo dependancies, like bat, ffmpegthumbnailer, and other programs used for many of your scripts in .local/bin/ are actually not installed by default, so a user can install your dotfiles, but 90% of the things won't work, until a user actually reads trough all the dotfiles, and identifies what he actually needs to install additionally on top of LARBS to get things to work ...

so far identified missing dependancies, there are more actually related to .local/bin, althou still not identified fully what's needed for a full working voidrice dotfiles

bat - for LF previews
ueberzug - for LF previews
python-pdftotext - for LF previews
odt2txt - for LF previews
calcurse - dependancy of the sb-clock status bar script
transmission-cli - dependancy for dwm
tremc - dependancy for dwm
vorbis-tools - dependancy for the tag script in .local/bin
opustags - dependancy for the tag script in .local/bin
python-eyed3 - dependancy for the tag script in .local/bin
ttf-joypixels - missing font from fontconf in voidrice
ttf-liberation - missing font from fontconf in voidrice
noto-fonts - missing font from fontconf in voidrice
ttf-dejavu - this one is needed to fix the emoji showing whitespace glitch

I am confused as to how Luke is moving his mouse cursor, with both of his hands on the keyboard?

Anyone else hear a high pitched tone or do I have dog hearing?

Dozen of years or more, and GNU/Linux terminal capabilities will finally match Temple OS's.

Lf is not displaying icons but rather question marks "?".

if can't install some program tool or gui app via flatpak, then I don't even waste time messing with it - life is too short to mess with noodling installs. Flatpak is revolutionizing software development for Linux and devs need to embrace modernity and stop being Luddites

I went through my golang phase - even wrote some programs in golang that are running in commericial production apps, but anytime on the Intertubes one will soon see that Rust has eclipsed golang in all the conversations and attention getting. Well, system programmin where control all the memory allocation has its place, but golang garbage collected memory management and its primary concurrency model are rather great fit for all this cloud infrastructure software - which is a kind of middle-ware. After all, we're still coming out of a 20 plus years of writing Java middle-ware.

But C was amy first programming language love so I'm more interested in Zig than I am in Rust these days. I really want to go back to writing code that has the smallest executables possible without resorting to assembly language while incorporating a lot of the lessons learned from the last 30 years about language design ideas. Zig still has some maturation to go through but am seeing the potential for it to fullfill this particular language vnirvana vision

I'd love to hear from Luke on this but comments from others are also welcome. Why lf over vifm? I mean the vim focus is in the name and if I understand correctly vifm is much more mature than lf anyway.

Hi Luke, appreciate your tutorials.
You could also show on lf's wiki the info about how to add previews.
I've been watching you for years, but I don't think newer people trust us to add our configs to their system, if you know what I mean...

I'm curious, does Luke knows (neo)vim has tabs. He could have just opened scope and lfrc in separate tabs instead of quitting then reopenin
