itamiiru

A file picker and file explorer with a similar feel to the Windows 10/11 file dialog.

• xdg-desktop-portal backend (can be used as Save As, Open File, Choose Folder dialogs, etc)
• tabs and split view
• filter filenames in the current folder
• search folder and sub folders
• add custom right-click menu actions
• image thumbnails (jpg, png, gif, bmp, webp)
• sends items to trash (optional)
• detect, mount and eject USB drives

Install

Linux only for now. docs/linux-setup/README.md covers building, installing and setting itamiiru up as the file dialog for every app through xdg-desktop-portal.

Using it

• Command line: itami [FOLDER] [--select ITEM]. Started from a terminal it moves to the background; --foreground keeps it attached. itami --help lists the options.
• Settings: the gear at the bottom of the side pane, or Ctrl+Comma. They're saved in ~/.config/itamiiru/config.
• Custom right-click actions: add menu items like "Open in terminal" in ~/.config/itamiiru/actions:

  [Open in terminal]
  command = xfce4-terminal --working-directory=%d
  for = folders, background
  

  data/actions.example explains the placeholders (%f, %F, %d, %n) and the for targets. The file is read at startup.
• USB drives show up under This PC even before they're mounted: click to mount, right-click to unmount or eject (needs udisks2).
• Drag files out onto other apps (a browser upload box, a terminal, an editor), and drop files in from other apps: they're copied into the folder under the pointer. X11 sessions only for now; Escape cancels.
• Drag and drop inside the window: onto a folder, a folder name in the address bar, a place or drive in the side pane, or the other pane; hold it over a tab to open that tab. Within a drive files move, onto another drive they're copied; hold Ctrl to copy or Shift to move.
