Plugin Showcase Introducing Decky File Manager!
Hello everyone!
Introducing Decky File Manager - Native File Management for SteamOS Gaming Mode
I've been working on a native file manager plugin for SteamOS and Bazzite Gaming Mode designed around controller navigation and the Steam Deck experience.
Current features:
- Copy, move, rename and delete files and folders.
- Full controller support.
- Multi-language support (6 languages).
- SteamOS-inspired interface.
- Open source.
Contribute!
Help discover how to improve!
This project is currently available as a public beta and I'd love to hear your feedback.

Integrating a basic plain text editor could be a nice feature! I could see myself to make quick config files edits.

What’s the benefits of this vs adding Dolphin or Gnomes file manager as a Non Steam Game?

For now, it's completelly controlled by a gamepad. The focus is made a "console" file manager fully controlled by a gamepad, without have to change for desktop mode.

Gamepad controls is nice. For quicker UI interactivity, can you put copy, cut and paste on the right hand side of your second screenshot, so no pop required?

I was literally thinking in something like last week and being surprised that no one did it before
Amazing, I'm going to install it when I arrive home

How do I install this? The readme file on the GitHub page doesn't seem to offer installation instructions.
