• Allows browsing of files, folders through simple Web interface, works on Flask.

• Double click to view files, or see contents of a directory.

• For multiselect copy, move or delete, first check items from the left handside, and click on radio buttons of copy, or move. This puts you into target selection mode, browse to the directory you want to go to, and click 'done'. In case of delete, simply click done.

• App allows viewing of text files, png, jpg image files, pdf, and mp4 video.

The app is quite small, 300 LOC in all. Most of the work is done on the client side via Javascript, only file manipulation tasks are done on the server. Communication between client and server is via Ajax.

To use locally, for testing, simply

python app.py

This starts a server accessible on 127.0.0.1 aka localhost.

To expose the server to others in the network, change the app.py file to say, e.g. for 192.168.1.1,

app.run(host="192.168.1.1",port=8080)

Now running app.py will start a server accessible on port 8080 via the IP adress shown.

• Dot files are filtered out, toggling that permission to view can be useful. Priority: low.

• Multiselect and zip, then download feature. Priority: medium.

• "Favorites" folders to quickly jump between directories, the fav list can be read from a config file by flask, or stored on localStorage, specific to each user. Priority: low.

• Support for peacemeal reading of video, currently video viewing does not allow to skipping to any location, that feature would require using the range request feature of web transfers. Priority: low.

• HTML view of local files does not show img references to local images in the same directory because those refs also need their /get_file calls. Priority: low.
