OS support

Currently, only Windows is tested and supported, Linux may come later but no guarantee

Built stack

The project is built using Tauri (React + Rust)

Rust is used for backend OS interactions for now (refactoring logic into Rust is one of next goals) React is capable of rendering (frontend), storing settings, and actually deal with raw data from Rust backend

Main goal is to build maintainable and extendable code

explorer's Issues

Selection within sidebar/pins handled on both sides

Home screen drives does not show their capacity

Search with recursive traverse

Currently, search handles only current directory, allow to search with recursive directories

Pathbar empty / navigation

Deleting pathbar base path leads to wrong names / path in items and renders as blank

History does not works sometimes

There is path to navigate to, but clicking the button does nothing

Linux displays too many stuff and does not handles directory click
