About this:

File copy and move command-line operations with GTK-based GUI status information

This app is used by this project https://github.com/SilentGopherLnx/GopherFileManager

I separated file's copy, move operations into this app for stable work

This app do file operations and shows progress by GTK-gui.

It also make check is you can do this. App can ask you some classic questions (also by GTK-gui):

• This file already exist in destination folder. Replace it?
• Can't read (or write) file. Try again or ignore?
• Destination foler already exist. Merge this folders?
• There are not enought space on disk. Try again?

and so on...

Dependencies for GOPATH:

1. Golang GTK3 lib https://github.com/gotk3/gotk3 also for gtk:

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev

sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev 2) my Framework https://github.com/SilentGopherLnx/easygolang (this package also have some unnessesary sub-packages)

Status:

App is under development and looks freaky (you can see version if run with "-v" argument)

Not all functions are implemented and realised as planned! such as:

• ask if folders gonna be merged, else use "os.Rename()" for full folder tree (not file by file!)
• detail information for compare existing files when ask for replace
• copy "modified time" files
• writing files to temporary name (half-copied files will not be looked as "ok")
• free space check
• ask for options for symlink...

News

• 0.2.0 - multi-language support (english default, russian on config file too), renaming now here too
• 0.2.1 - updated for gotk3 0.6.1, golang 1.17

Platform & License:

Only Linux! Tested only on amd64 on Cinnamon desktop of Linux Mint.

Windows support is NOT planned

License type is GPL3

Usage example for copy of two files:

golang:

exec.Command("FileMoverGui", "-cmd", "copy", "-src", "file:///path_src/file1" + "\n" + "file:///path_src/file2", "-dst", "file:///path_dst/")

terminal:

$ ./FileMoverGui -cmd copy -src "file:///path_src/file1

> file:///path_src/file2" -dst "file:///path_dst/" (yes. This is new line charater. You can input this if you have unclosed brakets)

Args for running:

-cmd

copy - copy files list from -src to -dst folder

move - rename files list from -src to -dst folder or move files if -src and -dst are on different disks or network folders

delete - delete files list from -src

clear - delete files in -src folders (files in list will be ignored, folders will be cleared) (not implemented!)

rename - rename dialog window for -src file

-src is files and/or folders list, separated by new line symbol (not "\n" string)

-dst is always folder

-buf buffer size of bytes for file copy operations. Value will be multiplied by 1024

-lang language code (in config file, "en" (english) is default)

-v you can see version of this app if run with only this one argument

-src & -dst path format:

I tried to use url file scheme from Copy/Paste and Drag&Drop operations.

Disk files have "file://" prefix

Network samba share have "smb://" prefix

Also are supportted:

• "mtp://" (smartphones), "gphoto2://" (photos)
• "ftp://", "dav://" & "ftps://", "davs://" (ftp protocol, webdaw)

Space characters are replaed to "%20"

Non-english language charactes are escaped like url with % and code like in http urls

You can test format by copying file in your file manager and printing result from "xclip"

xclip -o -selection clipboard -t "x-special/gnome-copied-files"
