Joufflu.FileExplorer

A file explorer for Joufflu.

A themed explorer of a folder tree — control bar, folder tree and file list — driven by a source you can replace or extend with nodes of your own.

What's inside

Piece Purpose
Explorer Everything together: control bar, tree, list and a status bar counting the items and the selected ones.
ExplorerList The nodes of the opened folder, with their date and size. Adds columns of your own through ExtraColumns.
ExplorerTree The loaded hierarchy, folders only by default.
ExplorerControlBar Breadcrumb of the opened path, each folder reopened by a click, plus a button going up.
IExplorerSource What the controls display and navigate through. FileSystemSource reads a folder of this machine, FileSystemWatcherSource keeps up with the changes made to it.
IExplorerNode A node of a source: FileSystemFile, FileSystemDirectory, or a type of your own.

Every control shares the same Source, which is what keeps them in sync: opening a folder anywhere opens it for the others.

Copying, moving, renaming and deleting are handed over to the Windows shell, so they come with its progress window, its "replace or skip" prompt and its recycle bin. Nodes are dragged and dropped between controls and with the Windows explorer, and the usual shortcuts work: F2 renames, Ctrl+C / Ctrl+X / Ctrl+V copy, cut and paste, Delete removes.

Getting started

Joufflu.FileExplorer builds on the core Joufflu package and on Joufflu.Feedback (the sources report their errors as toasts). Both come along as dependencies:

dotnet add package Joufflu.FileExplorer

Merge the styles in App.xaml, after the core ones, and initialize the theme manager once at startup:

<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Joufflu;component/Resources.xaml" />
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Joufflu.Feedback;component/Resources.xaml" />
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Joufflu.FileExplorer;component/Resources.xaml" />
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

// App.xaml.cs — OnStartup
ThemeManager.Instance.Initialize();

Then open a source in your view model:

// using Joufflu.FileExplorer.Sources; — toasts is an injected IToastService, null is accepted
public IExplorerSource Source { get; } = new FileSystemSource(@"C:\Projects", toasts);
// ...
await Source.Open();

And bind it in your view:

xmlns:fileExplorer="clr-namespace:Joufflu.FileExplorer.Controls;assembly=Joufflu.FileExplorer"

<fileExplorer:Explorer Source="{Binding Source}" />
