Great, and cool that you touched imports, that's also something I'm hesitating on. I'll be doing your suggested refactors, and am considering consolidating into a single .py. Thanks!

Hi, I'm an Industrial Engineer-turning-developer. Over the last years my role was half-functional/half-development, but I've heard I'm able at technical stuff (and I LOVE IT) so I want to dig deeper that direction.

This view has so many advantages (very visual, enable quick round-trips in a hierarchy, show the path leading to a leaf while conserving screen space, enable copying files from anywhere to anywhere, more adapted to our horizontal screens and vision than traditional WindowsExplorer-ish views) that I can't understand why it wasn't copied elsewhere. Is it patented?

- Any option for such a file manager under Linux/Windows? Maybe a Nautilus extension/fork (and under windows, an Explorer patch/extension)?
