Separating folders from files, toggling their visibility, combined with filtering. &disk-voyager

Last update video for this year featuring proper UI and DPI scaling. It works nicely when switching monitors with different DPIs. &disk-voyager

Rectangular selection with smooth mouse scrolling on an expanded Windows drive (approx. 1 million files). &disk-voyager

Switch between folders and files. &disk-voyager
Select everything, toggle folders on and off, and you'll have all your files selected.
Use two split panels, one for files and one for folders.

Hundreds of thousands of new file entries arrive, and your scroll position remains fixed on your selection while still responding seamlessly to your scroll input. All movements in the video result from mouse scrolling and keyboard arrow actions. &disk-voyager

Multiple selections + Clipboard == 🤝 in &disk-voyager

Sort by size in &disk-voyager includes directories contents, which is super handy!

I won't be showcasing huge features anymore before the alpha release, so I thought I'd share small feature I added today, "single-click to open". It mostly emulates Windows behaviour, short hover delay to select and it works nicely with multiple selections. I also integrated it into GoTo and commands window. &disk-voyager

As the end of the year approaches, I thought it would be nice to do a quick review of 2022 in the form of a short timelapse video. &disk-voyager

More work on Disk Voyager
New Features:
- loading icons in background (supports huge listings such as whole drive)
- inactive panel dim
- display entry full path when directory is expanded
Code Improvements:
- better thread support (thread priorities, more generic, not constrained to single work queue, using thread pools)
- switch arenas to use 64 bit virtual space (32bit support -> Recycle bin)
- using UTF8 in non-platform layer, converting to wchars in win layer
- support for direct NTFS sectors read

&disk-voyager - modern and fast file explorer. I've been working on it in my spare time. Probably gonna commit on it fully now. It's written in C and has custom OpenGL renderer. Its already blazingly fast. It expands my C drive with 200 GBs in less than 2 seconds and supports fzf filtering on the expanded content. Searching and filtering is multithreaded. There are tons of features I wanna experiment with in order to improve UX of traditional explorers (gonna share those in the future). Atm my primary focus is still on good performance.
