Nice. Why don't you use mouse input?

And maybe some more GUI

Good idea, I was just aiming to make a simple browser as a proof of concept but it turned out pretty nice so I decided to post it here. I may add this in the future if I make another version.

I just took a look, it looks really good, but how do you get the rendering of the file "icons" to work? Along with the actual clicking

How do you calculate where the boxes with filenames appear?
Also, what does it do when it runs out of screen space?

paintutils.drawImage() allows you to draw images loaded using paintutils.loadImage() which can load images created in the default paint program. The actual clicking is just down to math… you check if the click was within the area the icon is located. (sorry for butting in)

no problemo. The writing is done after the drawing of the icon. I take the file/folder name, cut it if it is too long and start printing on the next line. Only two lines supported.

Don't worry about it :)/> Thanks for the advice though. This may be implemented if and when I make an update.

If you mean how long have I used lua, it has been since I first got the mod, but I can't remember when that was :)/>

Simple File Manager v1.1 has been released fixing a major bug that meant that the browser thought everything was in the root directory, meaning you could not navigate to anything past one folder level or run any programs inside folders. This has been fixed in the latest version with a feature letting you jump back to the root directory. To access this, press R!
