How leonelcents04/simple-file-manager works

Simple File Manager is a Windows desktop file manager. The user operates through the renderer; its app state and actions call the safe preload API, which reaches main-process IPC handlers for path validation, directory and drive browsing, and protected text-file operations. Results feed the interface’s file viewer, details, and messages. The graph also preserves documented navigation, menus, dialogs, themes, and keyboard access. Some UI-to-IPC wiring is documented in the README rather than shown in the sampled preload source; unsampled internals are not inferred beyond that evidence.

Main entry points: app.js App state and actions · ipc.js IPC handlers · file_ops.js Text file operations · sheets.js File dialogs and viewer
