Sequence FM 5.0 arrives. This filemanager is made with Python3 and QT5. It intends to be a simple and lightweight.

Download sequence_fm5(as a zip).Download

On Github: https://github.com/postman721/Sequence-FM

Currently functioning features include:

  • Terminal command support in addressbar: You can, for example, type firefox and it will start after you press Enter and then press Control from your keyboard to execute.
  • General addressbar funtionalities: Showing current location and navigating to current location via addressbar.
  • Open file with application functionality.
  • Make a new text file functionality.
  • Make a new folder functionality.
  • Object renaming is supported.
  • Open archive, compress an object or extract an archive is supported via file-roller integration.
  • Right-click menu: Almost all the above functionalities have been placed inside the right-click menu of Sequence FM.
  • Preliminary shortkey support: Delete button of a keyboard will launch object deleting functionalities. Control button will execute terminal command from addressbar – after first validated with Enter keypress.

Error handling inside Sequence FM has been improved – to avoid accidental crashing-

To use Sequence FM you should have, at least, these installed (Debian base as an example):

sudo apt-get install python-pyqt5 python python3 file-roller

Default locations: You can place Sequence FM in any location. I recommend /usr/share/sfm.py

Executing:

If needed make python files executable: chmod +x filename.py

Run with: python filename_location.py

About delete, copy and moving functionalities.

I decided to keep this filemanager as unix like as possible. As I prefer terminal commands, I left out move,copy or removal commands. I believe those are best served via terminal client. See here for more: https://www.techtimejourney.net/essential-terminal-tricks-you-should-know/

Sequence FM v.4.1 & Gtk-Tools v.1

14th of July 2017: Sequence FM v.4.1 and Gtk-Tools v.1:  Download as a zip package.

This is a bug fix release for Sequence FM. Now the file manager can open files with external programs like it should. An added feature to this release is the terminal command support. If you write: firefox, albix, vlc (or some other program name) to the address bar and press enter then the program will open up. You can also use other terminal commands like rm -r to remove files or folders. Be cautious with terminal commands and use them only if you know what you are doing.

Older post from 2nd of June.

Here is Sequence FM v.4. Code is now a lot cleaner and minimized to (about) 189 lines. In this release I placed resources under their own respected menus and also made right-click menu layout clearer.

Also, a notable change happened to copy, paste, move and delete functionalities. The previous now have their own program: Gtk-Tools, which is dedicated to handle those actions. Gtk-Tools is made out of the old Crosslinker FM code and thus it might seem familiar.
