ExplorerPro Suite

Deutsch | Machine-readable context

ExplorerPro is a desktop file explorer for power users. It combines a multi-tab browser, preview panel, privacy monitor, duplicate finder, sync tools, and a lightweight code editor in one PySide6 application.

Features

• File browser: multi-tab browsing with breadcrumb navigation and context menus
• Preview panel: PDF, image, source-code, and text preview inside the app
• Privacy monitor: detection and review of sensitive filenames or file contents
• Advanced search: filters for type, size, date, and search text
• Duplicate finder: hash-based duplicate detection
• Quick editor: integrated code editor with QScintilla and Pygments
• Sync manager: folder synchronization with pattern-based exclusions
• App launcher: quick access to configured tools
• Prompt launcher: local prompt collection for AI-assisted workflows

Repository

git clone https://github.com/file-bricks/ExplorerPro.git
cd ExplorerPro

Platform Plan

ExplorerPro remains a desktop-first application. Windows is the primary release target; macOS and Linux are source/build smoke targets. A future web or mobile companion is limited to redacted review exports and is not intended to replace the local file manager.

The planned exchange format is documented in EXPORTFORMAT.md. The platform and store-readiness plan is documented in PORTIERUNGSPLAN.md.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• PySide6
• QScintilla
• PyMuPDF
• watchdog
• Pygments
• pandas and openpyxl for blacklist table imports

Install the runtime dependencies:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

python src/main.py

On Windows, the included launcher can be started from the project root:

START_ExplorerPro.bat

Tests

Run the local smoke suite:

python -m pytest -q
python -m compileall -q src tests manage_translations.py translator.py

The current smoke suite covers import bootstrapping, search-filter forwarding, duplicate-finder open-path error handling, and file-browser open-path error handling. The GitHub Actions workflow runs the same smoke tests on Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12.

Privacy

ExplorerPro works on local files selected by the user. The application does not require a cloud backend or external account for its core features. Do not commit local scan results, private folder listings, logs, build outputs, or test lock files; the project .gitignore excludes the known local artifacts.

See PRIVACY_POLICY.md for the repository privacy posture.
