#### Multi-tab file explorer with inline folder sizes, splitter & portable JSON

A fast, portable multi-tab file explorer for Linux, serving as an independent
open-source Linux alternative to classic tabbed Windows file explorers such as
Explorer++. Not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by David Erceg.

FEATURES
• Tabbed Explorer Workspace: Bookmarks bar, lazy-loading folder navigation
tree, real /proc/mounts drive usage meter, multi-tab browser (New Tab,
Duplicate Tab, Lock Tab to prevent accidental close or navigation away,
Back/Forward/Up), Details vs Large Thumbnail Grid toggle, real inline
recursive folder size calculation, and Copy/Cut/Paste/New Folder/Delete/
7z Extract actions.
• File Split, Merge & Attributes Editor: Split large files into numbered
.part001/.part002 volumes with a .crc manifest, merge parts back with full
CRC32 and SHA-256 verification, and edit real file timestamps (atime/mtime)
and POSIX permissions (rwxr-xr-x / octal mode).
• Portable JSON Session & Bookmarks: Export and import complete open tabs,
lock states, view modes, and bookmarks as portable JSON files, with full
English and Vietnamese interface switching.
