I've been building BlazePilot, a desktop file manager for Linux that prioritizes speed and visual customization. Built with egui and Tokio.
What it can do:
- Grid and row view with virtualized scrolling
- Fuzzy search
- File tagging system
- Image preview
- Basic Git status integration (see which files are modified, untracked, etc.) directly in the file manager
- Theme manager JSON-based, fully customizable per-field colors
- Open terminal in current directory
- Rubber band selection, tab support, icon resizing with Ctrl+Scroll
- i18n support
Stack: egui, wgpu, Tokio, DashMap, zbus/UDisks2
Most Linux file managers feel either too barebones or too tied to a specific desktop environment. BlazePilot is my attempt at something fast, native-feeling, and actually customizable.
— This is a personal side project. Still in active development and some visual areas don't fully respect the theme yet, but it's usable and improving with each version.
