File manager written on C#
File Manager description:
1.) Interface
First time app runs, it will adapt for the screen resolution. It takes screen resolution values and builds the interface, the number, location of interactive buttons, and so on.
*I carried out checks in different resolutions and the interface remained completely readable. However, adaptation occurs only at the first start. So I strongly do not recommend changing its size to a smaller one, but the opposite is entirely acceptable up to expanding the console window to full screen.
2.) First launch
First time you start the program, you will be asked to register a user - the administrator, who will have the greatest rights among other users, which will be his individually.
The registration process is very simple. The user is required to enter a login and password, which he will use to enter the programm in the future.
After registration, you will be taken to the main menu window, where you can log in as a user, register, or exit the application.
3.) File Manager functions
After successful login, you will gain access to the file manager main working window:
- Top row of function buttons:
- Open (Responsible for navigating in disks and file directories, also allows you to open and run files)
- Back (Moves you one step back, more simply put, to the previous directory)
- Find (Allows you to find the file or directory you need by a specific parameter, starting from your current position)
- Copy | ADMIN | (Allows you to copy an object by placing it in your buffer. If this button is highlighted, it means that the file is still in the buffer. When you press it again, it copies the file from the buffer to your current position)
- Move | ADMIN | (Almost the same as the previous button, except that it moves the file to a new location)
- Delete | ADMIN | (Allows you to delete a file or directory)
- Rename | ADMIN | (Allows you to rename the file)
- | ADMIN | - indicates functions, which are available only for admin user
