ScopeRust file explorer and file picker recreating Windows 10/11-style file-dialog workflows on Linux. Includes tabs, split view, folder search, image thumbnails, custom context-menu actions, trash and USB drive management. Its xdg-desktop-portal backend supplies Open, Save As and folder-selection dialogs to compatible applications.A GTK3 file manager recreating Windows Explorer-style ribbon and properties workflows. Provides configurable ribbon tabs, file browsing and operations, quick-access controls and a Windows-like properties dialog on Linux.
LimitationsLinux only; Windows and macOS support is deferred. Does not reproduce the full Windows shell. Portal integration excludes applications using their own dialogs; external drag and drop is X11-only. Accessibility remains unfinished.Linux is the documented native platform; macOS and Windows portability is a goal, with packaging work separate from verified behavior. Full Windows shell, namespace-extension and Explorer API compatibility are not documented. Requires GTK3 and PyGObject.
