gtk VS egui

thread 'main' panicked at 'libgtk-3 was configured with `--enable-debug=no`. See https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk/issues/270 for details', /home/(username)/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/gtk-0.5.0/src/rt.rs:137:13

basically I setup gtk how it is described on the gtk-rs.org site and official gtk guide https://www.gtk.org/docs/installations/windows/ using msys2, for more details check this video it describes exactly what I did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUJFYOCbuDg

You could make bar pretty easily with GTK. You should read up on the Wayland and GTK documentation. GTK has official bindings for C and Python, and there is gtk-rs.org for Rust.

There's https://crates.io/crates/gtk

I wouldn't expect there to be a tutorial specifically for writing a file manager. (After all, the vast majority of people who write GUI apps for Linux never write a file manager.) But there is some documentation on how to write GUIs with Rust and GTK here https://gtk-rs.org/.

Thank you for linking your project—that looks really cool! I saw you also implemented a pan-and-zoom area. We are currently working on moving Rerun's implementation to egui [0], so maybe keep an eye on that.

It would be super cool to have layered graph drawing in (Sugiyama-style) in Rerun too. The tricky–but super interesting–challenge that we face is that our layout implementations need to be consistent across timestamps if the underlying structure of the graph changes, which is why we initially chose a force-based layout approach. There, the time-varying aspect is handled naturally by the simulation.

The very interactive nature of Rerun also poses more restrictions on the implementation of our algorithms: re-layouts ideally need to be fast, to produce visualizations quickly, especially when scrubbing the timeline.

I still hope we can rid you of some of the todos ;).

Yeah, I knew I was in for some onoz when I saw "compiled to WebAssembly and rendered with WebGL". In their defense, it's stunning that any text operations work at all

Also, "There is no DOM, HTML, JS or CSS" is some uh-huh given the considerable amount of silliness involved in view-source:https://www.egui.rs/

One of these projects, which is built using Rust, is egui. In this article, we’ll see how we can build a simple, cross-platform GUI application with it.

Cross-platform UI development is a total mess with literally zero solutions ticking all the boxes.

If you want to write an app which will target all the major platforms (3 desktops and two mobiles), want a native look and minimal effort for every platform you target, there is nothing apart from QT.

If you drop native look requirement, some small things like https://www.egui.rs/ might work for you.

If you drop the minimal effort requirement, all the webivew based mess might help you but it won't be easy due to multiple reasons.

It allow to edit large json files > 500mb. It is written in rust and use the amazing egui library

Probably the hardest part, if you are new to egui, is to work out how to display the widgets you want. The egui demo site is quite handy in this regard. It features the egui widgets, and has GitHub links to the Rust code used to make each widget. This will help you replicate them in your own project.
