@yanex_ru @charlieirish Looks very much like fman. Are there any plans for making this file manager cross platform?

@ishu3101 There are no such plans. The goal is to make an awesome file manager for macOS.

@yanex_ru That's a shame. Does it support tabs? What languages can be used to create plugins?

@ishu3101 I don't think so. I think that cross-platform applications almost never become as good as the native ones. Tabs are supported since Marta 0.2: https://marta.yanex.org/marta-02.... You can write plugins in Swift, here's the API: https://marta.yanex.org/api/inde...

Marta is a pretty blatant copy of (my) file manager https://fman.io, which was here a few weeks ago. Marta's author has been on fman's mailing list since Nov 2016.

@m_herrmann I don't know how to define the "copy". Marta works faster, weights lighter and has a much more native experience than fman.

@hvllows It's the situation when benchmarks are just redundant. fman is written in PyQt – it makes the app cross-platform but at the cost of interface responsiveness. It's all about the UI: fman launches for about 1.5 seconds on my MacBook Pro 2016, lists have a huge lag on scrolling on retina displays, drag-drop is also very slow.

Can it replace Finder as the native File Manager? and if so, what's the procedure for trying that out...

Thank you, good sir, for your effort! I have been eager to switch from fman for two years now. I mean, no update for at least a year. And I bought the license and paid for the subscription! The only thing the author would offer to us, paid users, was «fman's bringing too little money, so no updates any time soon». In the end @m_herrmann had just removed the dates in his blog to keep up an appearance of a well supported app, and banned any complaints on its issue tracker.

Glad to see this. Finder is a necessary evil right now. Hoping this is better.
