Hiro-Chiba/fileview v1.18.0

v1.18.0 - Video Preview, Tabs, Hooks, and Batch Operations

on GitHub

Adds four major capabilities in one release: video file preview,
multiple tab support, an event hook system, and visual select mode for
batch operations.

Highlights

• Video preview with ffmpeg-extracted thumbnails and metadata
• Tab support with independent state per tab
• Configurable event hooks for file operations and lifecycle
• Visual select mode for vim-like range selection

Added

• Video formats: mp4, mkv, webm, avi, mov, wmv, flv, m4v
• Video metadata display: duration, resolution, codec, audio codec, bitrate, frame rate
• Tab keybindings: Ctrl+T open, Ctrl+W close, Alt+t next, Alt+T previous
• Hook events: on_create, on_delete, on_rename, on_cd, on_start, on_exit
• Hook environment variables: $FILEVIEW_PATH, $FILEVIEW_OLD_PATH, $FILEVIEW_DIR, $FILEVIEW_SELECTED
• Visual select keybindings: V enter mode, j/k extend, y/d/D operate on selection
• --choosedir [FILE] and --selection-path FILE CLI flags
• Alt+S opens a subshell in the current directory
• * toggles select all; Alt+i inverts selection

Notes

Video preview gracefully falls back when ffmpeg or ffprobe is not
installed.
