About The Project

I was looking for a project to improve myself in c++, then I noticed the filesystem library in c++ 2017 and while I was thinking about how I could do a project on it, I started to make a file finder and listing program for the terminal and for the linux operating system.

Purpose Of The Project

The purpose of this project is to navigate easily in file directories in the terminal of the linux operating system and also to search for certain files in certain file directories. The colors used in the program can be changed completely, of course, if the user has installed the program.

User Guide

Executing Types

• ./tff for executing program.
• ./tff -list only for listing and navigating.
• ./tff -install to install.
• ./tff -uninstall to uninstall.
• ./tff -help for help section.
• ./tff -keymap to see keymaps.

Changing Color (Require to install)

Enter the .tff/ folder in home folder. Then open 'ui_color.txt' file in conf folder. You can only change # included lines. If you change other things doesn't effect to program but if you delete or add a line then program may not work.

Bugs

• Sometimes search section doesn't work. I think its happening because of c++ 2017 but I'm not sure.

  If you uninstall the project and then install again then problem solves.

• ' path_change() ' function used like for(int i = 0; 20 > i; i+=1) { path_change("../"); } and that was a bad solution.

  If you get certain value of your directory count then you can solve this problem. (For developers)
