File Explorer+

now given a valid directory, you can now see the list of files in them and the size, (although not the size relative to the disk). looks pretty good to me! i also fixed some UI errors with the scrollbar and it should be just fine. although i like how it is displayed it’s missing an icon and i kind of wished the directories were sorted to where folders were always at top and then alphabetically sorted. will get this done.

i had to completely rework the user interface because i realized how much of a hassle it would literally be to design the UI procedurally, considering the structure you’re supposed to follow for QT and the lack of proper documentation for PyQT, so i decided it’s best that I used QT Designer (NOT AN AI TOOL; A UI CREATOR TOOL OUTPUTTING A .UI FILE) to help with this, which turned out really well! since reworking the UI, i’ve added the base functionality of a window for windows since i decided to have a custom title/header bar over the one window supports. unfortunately i’ve realized just how much more complicated it is without the windows frame..

started creating the UI design for my next project, which is just a replica of file explorer. this time i’ll actually put some design into them when i get to the final steps! i’m using QT once again for this, since i feel like it. basically just used a ton of QT Layouts and also have a toolbar for later. i’ll improve this when i’m ready to, for now, this is just a sketch of the layout that i believe will work out.
