Polo File Manager

#1 Post by labbe5 »

Polo is a modern, light-weight file manager for Linux with support for multiple panes and tabs; support for archives, and much more.

For a review of major features : https://github.com/teejee2008/polo

An interesting feature is :
Polo Beta 10 will have support for downloading videos from websites.
Simply copy the web page URL and paste it into any folder. Select the desired format from the list and click Download to begin.
Supports more than 1000 websites (powered by youtube-dl).


Many ways to obtain Polo File Manager, including a PPA :

Installation :
PPA and DEB files are available for Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distributions. Binary installers are available for all Linux distributions.

Thanks labbe5.

Sounds interesting. Screen shots about 2/3'rds down this page:
https://github.com/teejee2008/polo

However, some important libs are missing on this DPupStretch7:
libvte-2.91.so.0 (a new lib for a terminal)
libpcre2-8.so.0 (a new lib for perl regular expressions - 8-bit :?: )
and
xdg-mime (Puppy has MIME's, but probably not at the location expected by
the polo FM. If someone could provide info on this, TIA.)

May I suggest that people check if they have the above dependencies on
their Pup before trying this new file manager.

Also the Category in the polo-gtk.desktop file will have to be changed from
"Utility" to "FileManager"

BFN.

if I read correctly, it looks like youtube-dl integration is a donation-ware only plugin feature starting at $ 10, which should buy you the entire plugin collection.
