<h2>Overview</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Files app provides an interface that allows users of MontaukOS to:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Navigate and manage files on available volumes</li>
|
|
<li>View and access user libraries</li>
|
|
<li>View and access installed applications (see § Apps folder)</li>
|
|
<li>View and access installed applications (see § Settings/System Configuration folder)</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h2>Technical notes</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The Files app is one of two windowed applications (the other being the Desktop Settings applet) compiled directly into the desktop's binary (<i>0:/os/desktop.elf</i>) rather than being a separate application. Crashes of the Files app may therefore cause the entire desktop process to crash, kicking the user back to the login screen (<i>0:/os/login.elf</i>).</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li>Most of the Files app does not use the MTK toolkit, relying on custom GUI views to render complex file views; however, Properties and delete confirmation windows within the Files app do rely on the MTK toolkit.</li>
|
|
</ul>
