Thank you!

Can you please tell me how can I go to the lower directory, for instance I am in directory /home/dir/ then how can I move to /home/?
Also, can you please tell me how can I remove files from the trash can, you specified, that by the default the files will be placed there, but you didn't mention how to delete them

Press h or backspace will return to the parent directory. (from tutorial)
You can also override this in your configuration, see Custom hotkeys.

Currently there is no such functionality. You must use your operating system's functions to empty the Recycle Bin.
You can also start watching this issue:

• Feature Request: Add Shift + Delete to Permanently Delete Files Without Using Trash Can #320

If I click 'backspace' or 'h' I am being moved to the System32 folder

@Satoshics You should open an issue in which you describe in detail what you are doing.

Hello, I am using Superfile on WSL Debian.

I am very new to this and want to know if there is a way to run a code . in the current directory.

I tried just pressing : and running code . but that opens VS Code in the directory I started SPF in.

Thank you in advance

@Zhilong-coding

That is not the same as being able to run a command in the current directory.

Am I right to assume then that there currently isn't a way to run a command in the current directory ?

It has actually been tried in #127, and it should be possible in the latest version (there are bugs that have not yet been resolved). You can press : to execute

@yorukot in the first post @Zhilong-coding said about it. The problem is that the command is executed in the terminal directory, not in the one where the user is in the interface.

Maybe it is worth doing cd of a directory before running a command that has been entered by the user: /bin/sh -c "cd {directory} && {command}". I'm not sure how good an idea this is.

Oh, sorry, I overlooked it :(

The main reason why I haven't completed this function yet is because of this problem, and I can't find a good way to solve it.
Your suggestion sounds good I will give it a try!

btw thank you very much for your positive comments from the in this community!

[yorukot]

@Zhilong-coding Hey i updated superfile so i think in the latest version(main branch) you can do this right now :)

[Zhilong-coding]

Works!
Just did the latest build and tried the command. It's working as expected.

You guys are absolute stars. Thank you.

I have used almost every Terminal File Explorer out there, but I have never been completely satisfied with any of them until I met Supfile. Supfile is super, super Terminal File Manager.

[yorukot]

I really appreciate your like! It makes happy all day :D

[o-az]

[yorukot]
