la9527/mdir.js

Mdir.js is text base file manager. Mdir.js is clone of LinM.

Instruction

Mdir.js is a visual file manager.

It's a feature rich full-screen text mode application that allows you to copy, move and delete files and whole directory trees, search for files and run commands in the sub-shell.

It's a clone of Mdir, the famous file manager from the MS-DOS age. Mdir.js inherits the keyboard shortcuts and the screen layout from Mdir to maximize user-friendliness.

The best feature of Mdir.js are its ability to connect SFTP, SSH and view tar and zip files and it's convenient to operate the terminal shell inside the sub-window.

Also, you can connect directly to the same client through SSH after SFTP remote access and it's convenient to go directly from the SFTP directory to the SSH directory.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

While browsing the filesystem normally,

1. Type any letter (e.g. 'k') to start the search
2. Type the '\' character
3. See error in dialog box

Expected behavior
No error; continue searching for a file with \ character.

Running "File" > "New" shows an error

Describe the bug
Running "New" from the "File" menu shows an error, and seems to be unimplemented in code.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Press F12 to access the pulldown menu
2. Go to "File". Your cursor should be on "New"
3. Press Enter.
4. See error

Expected behavior
Similar to the "Mkdir" function, a dialog box should pop up, asking for a name for the new file.

• OS: Ubuntu Linux 20.10

Smarter Mount menu entries for Linux

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the mount menu shows every mount point, which can get a bit unwieldy...

Describe the solution you'd like
List only the mount points relevant to a non-administrative user: that is, (encrypted/unencrypted) partitions and removable media.

Additional context
See jamielinux/bashmount for a small bash utility that fetches necessary info in Linux.
