Log Message:
New Synchronet File Manager (run using jsexec)

This is a new TUI-style filebase browser/editor for sysop use. Sysops can search files, descriptions/metadata, uploader names, offline files and then easily remove/delete or edit those file's names, description, uploader.

Ideas for improvements (e.g. file tagging/bulk deleting) may require updates
to UIFC. This is a proof of concept at least and provides some functionality already.

yeah I think you're on to something here. could you please add functions to launch addfiles and delfiles and have tick boxes for the switches.

Log Message:
Add ability to add files, display/edit extended descriptions

(yes, I know, unzip for DIZ can corrupt the TUI display when adding files)

Add ability to display and edit extended file descriptions (including
inserting and deleting lines.

Fixed bug with moving files between dirs.

F2 is now just a shortcut for renaming files, ENTER is the main edit/display option key now.

This really requires an updated sbbs/jsexec to work fully correct (e.g. display/edit extended descriptions that contain blank lines).

addfiles and delfiles aren't designed to run in a full-screen "TUI" app like fileman.js is, so it wouldn't really result in a very nice sysop experience. you can (now) add files using fileman and you can remove files with it too, so I'm not clear why one would want to spawn those utils from within fileman.js.

well i just think it would be a good addition. i wouldn't want to sit and watch it run, i'd like it to spawn addfiles or delfiles in the background.

when you say you can now add files using fileman, do you mean search and add entire directories, or just manually add one?

You can add one or multiple files (using tagging) with fileman.js, though it will prompt you for the description/metadata for each file. If you want truly automated bulk file additions, just use addfiles.js instead. This Is The Way.

yeah but if you have a filemanager program would be nice if it spawned addfiles or delfiles in the background. of course anybody can add that feature for themself.

But if that feature isn't part of the standard version of the file, you'll have to keep applying those changes every time you update that file from the Git repo.

No, it wouldn't.

Okay, so do it yourself.

Modified Files:

Log Message:
Support viewing text files, deal with LF-terminated extended descriptions

Text files with recognized plain text file names/extensions can be viewed from within fileman now.

Some extended descriptions may only be terminated with LF (instead of CRLF),
so deal with those accordingly. Some auto-translation from LF to CRLF terminated
extended description lines may occur when editing extended descriptions.

Sort of the opposite of the "Offline Files" search, find files copied into
the directory storage paths but not yet added to the filebase, with a
"Add File..." option (and tagging support) along with DELete files option.

Auto-ignore listing files (e.g. FILES.BBS, etc.) when searchign for new
files to add to a directory's filebase.

If an argument is passed to fileman.js, use that as the UIFC mode (for testing purposes only).

Fix case-sensitive file compares (on *nix OSes) when adding files (now case-insensitive).

Fix issue with get file paths for files not yet in a filebase (using FileBath.get_path unnecessarily).

Display virtual paths to files in many place, when available (> SBBS v3.19).
