Common questions about Vector File Manager

Is Vector available for all operating systems?

Yes, Vector is a cross-platform file manager that works seamlessly on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It provides a consistent user experience across all platforms with native performance and integration with each operating system's file system.

What makes Vector better than my operating system's default file manager?

Vector combines the best of both worlds — the performance of native file managers with modern features and a customizable interface. It offers a clean, consistent experience across platforms, powerful file operations, keyboard shortcuts, and both light and dark modes while remaining lightweight and resource-efficient.

How do I customize the interface in Vector?

Vector offers several customization options including light and dark mode themes, adjustable zoom levels for file lists, toggling hidden files, and customizable views. These settings can be accessed through the application preferences or contextual menus.

Does Vector support keyboard shortcuts?

Yes, Vector has extensive keyboard shortcut support for power users. Common operations like copy (Ctrl/Cmd+C), cut (Ctrl/Cmd+X), paste (Ctrl/Cmd+V), rename (F2), delete (Delete), create new folder (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+N), and many more are supported. The shortcuts are platform-aware, automatically adjusting between Windows/Linux and macOS conventions.

How does the trash management work in Vector?

Vector integrates with your operating system's trash/recycle bin. When you delete files, they are moved to trash rather than permanently deleted. You can view trash contents, restore items, or permanently delete them through Vector's trash management interface.

Can I build Vector from source code?

Yes, Vector is open-source and can be built from source. The repository includes detailed build instructions for all supported platforms. You'll need basic development tools like Node.js, Rust, and platform-specific dependencies as outlined in the BUILD.md file in the repository.

Is Vector resource-intensive?

No, Vector is designed to be lightweight and efficient. It's built with Tauri, which uses your system's native webview and Rust for the backend, resulting in a small memory footprint and efficient performance even on older hardware.

How do I report bugs or request features?

You can report bugs or request features through the project's GitHub repository. Create an issue describing the bug or feature request in detail, and the developers will review it. You're also welcome to contribute code through pull requests if you'd like to implement features yourself.
