A visual tool to explore files

gui_fm is a really simple file manager for pico-8.

Right now it can only explore the file system.
You can enter folders and load saved carts directly from it.

To use

load #gui_fm
save **filename**
run

Won't work if run directly from the BBS, as sandboxed carts don't have access to the file system.

Hope you don't have too many files

because I haven't implemented a scroll feature yet...

I probably will in the near future.

What's next

• Ability to create folders in the current directory
• Mouse controls?

I see. I think I forgot to check if the root folder doesn't have any elements in it. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
I'll check and push a fix soon.

when is the fix?

Couple hours more or less

Nice work so far!

@allmightythunder

I got this runtime error when I loaded it off the bbs with #gui_fm (It likely stems from ls in tab 2 line 5 returning nil), but it worked when I saved it as a local copy and ran that instead.

Ooh I see. It's because carts downloaded from the BBS run in sandbox mode.

You need to save to disk to use it.
I'll update the thread.
Thank you both @allmightythunder @Verb
