files VS AppImageKit

This feature is rarely seen in Linux file managers. I would recommend the CLI file manager ranger. If you need a GUI tool, you should have a look at pantheon files, the file manager of ElementaryOS.

There's Pantheon Files, but it doesn't come anywere close to having as many features as MacOS's file manager. It's a pity that the Dolphin Miller plugin was discontinued. :c

I think that on elementary OS the Files app is already used as a base for the native file chooser. You could follow it as an example. All its code is on GitHub: https://github.com/elementary/files Specifically check out the filechooser-portal directory.

I very like Elementary but I can't use it because of one bug: https://github.com/elementary/files/issues/1884 It is really important for me.

There is already a PR waiting to solve this bug. I hope they release an update soon.

ElementaryOS file browser has that https://github.com/elementary/files

thanks!, is reported https://github.com/elementary/files/issues/1929

What you're looking for sounds like AppImages (https://appimage.org/) . I have only used them while downloading games from itch.io, etc. (since i prefer package managers) but they seem to work out of the box on popular distros.

Ideally a new instance of the application is installed for each user. This also provides better isolation if one user upgrades/removes/breaks their application instance. I, for one, have really come around to the AppImage model [0] in the last couple of years.

I found a similar issue on github and tried this solution but still getting the same error .

There is AppImage[1], which packs a lot of stuff into a SquashFS filesystem, appends it to the executable, so everything is in one file.

Nah i think yall just hating appimage. Real gold standard.

Although I haven't used plugins feature myself yet, this does sound like the perfect use case for them. Not every patient needs to access every single source. With plugins you can load only the source (or few sources) that they actually need. You can still use something like https://appimage.org/ to give them "a single binary", but will actually contain your slim binary and all the plugins.

```dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2 AppImages require FUSE to run. You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE for more information```

This doesn't look like a squashfs image. Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup. You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage  if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.  See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE  for more information open dir error: No such file or directory

appimages. Appimages are similar to flatpaks, exept that they are a file you download and double click to run. Think of them as portable softwares like windows has (portable apps). They are sandboxed too. You can learn more about appimages here
