pydbus VS files

Paste in a file, make executable and run it. (Oh, needs pydbus which should be available in almost all distro's repos)

You can hit dbus in a variety of ways, including just from the shell via the "dbus-send" command, or python bindings, etc.

I recommend the pydbus library. Here's a brief tutorial in case you aren't familiar with D-Bus. D-Bus is the most common IPC protocol for Linux applications so you're bound to find a client implementation in your favorite programming language.

You should look into DBus, it's a pretty standard way for Linux desktop applications to communicate with desktop environment, system and between each other. There's a very nice library for Python (pydbus) and I'm pretty sure there's one for C++ too.

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
