Smart Matching: Supports file/path wildcards and content regular expressions for recursive, precise targeting.
Batch Processing: Incremental mirroring, duplicate finding, searching, replacing, archiving, unarchiving, one-click cleaning, and more, for convenient operations.
Secure Deletion: Multi-pass overwrite mechanisms ensure files are permanently unrecoverable.
Scheduled Tasks: Execute file management tasks at scheduled times, compatible with CRON expressions.
Customisation: Write custom rule scripts for complete command over file operations, similar to writing a Makefile, via the open-source CLI tool.
Aliases: (Sandboxed);
Snap: alias ft=fileshows.ft;
Flatpak: alias ft="flatpak run --command=/app/bin/ft com.iche2.fileshows";
While `ft` is included with this application (and accessible via the aliases above), its access is limited by sandboxing.
