jFileProcessor vs Polo

Find/select files in sub-folders. run touch %f or cp %f /somefolder (this is a way to copy selected files in different levels, into 1 folder, flattening out the copy).

Select files. regex to match pieces of filenames, rename adding, leaving out, and reusing saved pieces.

So you can watch a folder and process files that come into it.

With exact file you can create a folder of job or desktop icon names. Double-click that file to run the job since it is tied to just that specific file.

Your script can modify contents in the list window it is working on.

Just put groovy scripts in menu-scripts folder and they will automatically run using currently selected files.

Run commands on your lists: grep files to find stuff, delete/copy/move files, etc.. Even copy a file to a remote host and execute it.

Search files and save to another file or a list window. Add or subtract one list from another.

Just count matching search criterion.

Search on modified time, file size, glob/regex name, folder depth; and/or on these and can do range.

Available for Linux, Windows, macOS - just needs java 7+ (written with 8).

Polo wants people to get the file manager they want, but it's not awash with granular layout options that take ages to understand. First select whether you want one, two, or four panes, and then select a format for each pane of either List, Icon, Tiled, or Media. That's it, you're done.

File managers in Linux have a nasty propensity for being closely tied to the distribution family from which they arose. Using Polo allows you to have an identical file management experience when shifting between machines from different branches of the Linux tree.

Quickly mount and unmount devices from the sidebar, including support for locking and unlocking LUKS encrypted devices.

Just paste a YouTube URL into a folder and Polo will download the best quality format of it and save it in that folder.

Browse archive files as those they were just another folder, dragging and dropping files in and out of them at will while the backend uses the appropriate tools to manage the archive file itself. Archive creation includes a rich assortment of controls over compression formats and structure.

Rotate, resize, optimize, convert formats, save for the web and many other handy features all right in the context menu.

Mount ISO files to loop devices with just two clicks, or spin them up as a QEMU KVM instance, and for portability there's also an option to write them to USB flash drives using a GUI dialog.

Perform Merge and Split operations on PDF files without needing another file handler all from the context menu. Rotate and Password Protection settings are also expressed there.

Includes its own rclone macros for adding cloud storage access to the list of browsable locations that just works, a welcome relief in the sea of hacks which provide those features elsewhere in Linux.
