Warning

This project is a dynamic work in progress. Version 1.0.0, the inaugural stable and fully-featured release, is on the horizon. While it's not yet recommended for daily use due to potential minor inconveniences, we welcome enthusiasts to help uncover and resolve bugs or propose exciting new features. But if you wanna try, you are more than welcome!

At its core, ProFileX embodies a philosophy centered around simplicity, minimalism, and lightweight design. The project aims to provide Linux users with a file management solution that maximizes functionality while minimizing resource consumption. By focusing on essential features and an intuitive user experience, ProFileX eliminates unnecessary complexities commonly found in traditional file managers. This minimalist approach not only enhances usability but also contributes to a faster and more responsive user interface. ProFileX stands as a testament to the belief that software can be both powerful and lightweight, offering a streamlined alternative for efficient file management on Linux systems.

_{* This is currently an experimental phase where the primary focus is on making the system functional and establishing a practical and logical pathway that aligns with both my vision and the project's goals. It might contain errors, bugs, etc. Many other non-core elements of the project are considered secondary.}

Compile

gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` -o profilex src/main.c src/file_manager.c `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0`
