Files and folders are essential for your daily computing usage
Last updated
Files and folders are created to organize your documents, photos, music, videos, and other types of files. They are useful for many purposes, like organizing your archives, your albums, your backups, your personal files, and other types.
Nitrocid KS simulates this component with the help of kernel drivers using your host computer's filesystem to perform common file operations, such as copying, moving, deleting, editing, and many others. In addition, it also supports advanced features, like file content type detection and file lock check.
To see how it works, consult the below page to take you to the inner workings of the Nitrocid kernel filesystem.
Interactive file manager
This interactive TUI is a powerful file manager that allows you to view what's inside the folders, as well as performing operations, like copying, moving, or deleting, on files and folders, just like Total Commander or Midnight Commander.
The file management TUI can be accessed using the ifm command. You can use the following keys to manipulate with the files here:
Enter: Go to a folder or open a file
F1: Copy folder or file to the other pane's current working directory
F2: Move a folder or file to the other pane's current working directory
F3: Deletes a file or folder
F4: Goes one directory up
F5: Shows an information box containing file or directory information
F6: Allows you to enter a relative or absolute path to a local folder in the current pane
SHIFT + F1: Allows you to enter a directory to copy the selected file to
SHIFT + F2: Allows you to enter a directory to move the selected file to
F9: Allows you to rename a selected file or folder to another name
F10: Allows you to make a new folder
F11: Gets the file checksum
F12: Verifies the selected file
P: Previews a file in a non-modal informational box
Tab: Switches panes
Esc: Exits the application
You can turn on/off the file size display on the status in the kernel settings, but this will affect all other applications that use this settings entry.
