MODERN HOME DASHBOARD & TABBED SPLIT BROWSER • Multi-tab file browsing (+ New Tab) with Back, Forward, Up, Refresh, clickable interactive breadcrumbs, editable path bar, and instant filter. • Switch seamlessly between Fluent Grid Cards View and Details Table View, or toggle Dual Split-Pane mode to manage and copy files side by side. • Home Overview presents Quick Access folders, real mounted filesystems and drives with colored usage capacity bars (os.statvfs + /proc/mounts), plus starred items and recent files from your real home directory. • Real file operations: New Folder, Cut/Copy/Paste, Rename, Delete, Zip Compress (DEFLATE), Star/Pin, and Open via xdg-open. FLUENT TAGS MANAGER & CHECKSUM INSPECTOR • Organize any file or folder with colorful Fluent pill tags stored locally in SQLite, filter tagged items, and jump straight to their location. • Inspect real file metadata: exact size in bytes, octal & rwx permissions, inode, link count, timestamps, and MIME guess. • Compute live MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256 hashes and verify against an expected checksum with instant match/mismatch status. STORAGE QUICK SCAN & VIEW PREFERENCES • Fast recursive breakdown bar chart of subfolder and file sizes inside any active directory, plus quick navigation into top space consumers. • Persistent view preferences saved locally: hidden dotfiles toggle, folders-first sorting, sort column/order, and grid card icon sizes. • Default English UI with optional full Vietnamese language toggle. LIMITATIONS (honest) • Under strict Snap confinement, browsing is scoped to your real home directory, mounted media under /media or /mnt, and system paths permitted by Snap interfaces.
