+Xplorer: Not Just a Pretty Open-Source File Manager!
+======
+For a change, do you want to a try a new file manager? Xplorer is an
+interesting project to look at!
+One of the most important parts of a GUI-equipped operating system is what kind of file manager it ships with; this can be a make it or break it factor for many.
+
+It is that way because the **file manager allows a user to manage their files and folders with ease** , without the need to run commands in the terminal to do basic tasks such as copying stuff.
+
+With this [first look][1], I focus on showcasing **a cross-platform file manager, Xplorer** that looks and feels very modern. Let's begin!
+
+🚧
+
+This project is still in its beta development stage. Expect bugs and issues.
+
+### Xplorer: Overview ⭐
+
+![][2]
+
+Powered by the [Tauri][3] framework, the file manager uses **Rust for the backend** , and **TypeScript for the frontend** to give users **a unique experience**.
+
+Some of its **key features** include:
+
+  * **Cross-Platform**
+  * **Highly Customizable**
+  * **Support for Multiple Tabs**
+
+
+
+#### Initial Impressions 👨‍💻
+
+I fired it up on an Ubuntu-equipped system by using the available _AppImage_ package. It booted up nicely, and I was greeted with a pretty looking “Home” page.
+
+There was a sidebar with all the usual folders and locations arranged neatly with chic looking icons.
+
+![][4]
+
+I then went on to check out the **multiple tabs functionality** , it worked as one would expect it to. From the contextual ( _right-click_ ) menu, I was able to open the “ _Wallpapers_ ” folder in a new tab that I could easily switch to.
+
+![][5]
+
+Even **checking the properties of a file/folder** was nice, it showed me important info related to it such as the size, file path, file type, and important dates/times.
+
+![][6]
+
+This was something that I liked the most, it is **a file preview feature** that shows you the preview of a file before opening it. There were two ways to access it, one by right-clicking on a file and selecting “ _Preview_ ”, the other was via a keyboard shortcut: “ _Ctrl+O_ ”.
+
+This feature supports the previewing of files such as **images** , **text** , **video** , **markdown** , and even **most programming languages with syntax highlighting**.
+
+![][7]
+
+You can **tweak the appearance of Xplorer** to quite some extent, there are options to switch the app theme, tweak the font size/window transparency, settings for the file preview feature and more.
+
+There is also the possibility for you to **create and use a custom theme** , more about this can be found in the [official documentation][8].
+
+![][9]
+
+There are **other settings under the “ _Preference_ ” menu** you can tweak for making the usage experience truly yours. It has options for handling hidden files, system files, changing the mouse clicking behavior and more.
+
+You can access this and the appearance stuff from the “ _Settings_ ” menu found at the bottom of the sidebar.
+
+![][10]
+
+With what I saw during my use, the overall experience seems okay. But, there are also a few bugs, take for instance the contextual menu that comes up after right-clicking.
+
+When I tried using the “ _Open the Terminal_ ” option, it **refused to launch the terminal emulator** on my system.
+
+I will admit, Xplorer is long ways from being one of the [best file managers for Linux][11], but I think, you can do something about that.
+
+💡
+
+The ****Xplorer project can use some contributors**** , if you are interested, do give its [GitHub repo][12] a visit; and maybe the project will evolve to give us a great file manager experience!
