# f[rame]ls

## Description

**framels** project is intent to deliver a *ls* command inspired by *bls* from Buf Compagnie or more recently *rvls* from RV.

## User Guide

The user guide is [here](https://doubleailes.github.io/fls/).

## Installation

### Pre-compile bin

You can download the last version <https://github.com/doubleailes/fls/releases>.

#### Windows

Support Windows 10 x86

#### Linux

Support current linux distro tested Fedora 37, Centos 7, Manjaro 22

### From Cargo

You can install via [<https://crates.io/>](https://crates.io/crates/framels)

Run `cargo install framels`

## Usage

### Help

Run `fls --help`

### basic_listing

Run `fls` to list your current directory.

![demo](./images/fls_demo.gif)

```bash
$ touch aaa.001.tif aaa.002.tif aaa.003.tif aaa.004.tif aaa.005.tif foo_bar.exr
$ fls
foo_bar.exr
aaa.***.tif@1-5
```

Run `fls -- /path/of/directory/` to list a specific directory.

Exemple with the sample set **big** at the root level of the repo

```bash
$ fls -- samples/big/
RenderPass_Pcam_1_*****.exr@0-96
RenderPass_Beauty_1_*****.exr@0-96
RenderPass_IndDiffuse_1_*****.exr@0-96
RenderPass_Ncam_1_*****.exr@0-41,43-96
RenderPass_Specular_1_*****.exr@0-96
RenderPass_Id_1_*****.exr@0-96
RenderPass_Occlusion_1_***.exr@74
RenderPass_Reflection_1_*****.exr@0-96
RenderPass_SpecularRim_1_*****.exr@0-96
RenderPass_Ncam_1_00042.exr.bkp
RenderPass_DiffuseKey_1_*****.exr@0-96
RenderPass_Diffuse_1_*****.exr@0-96
RenderPass_Occlusion_1_*****.exr@0-73,75-96
```

### Exr Metadata

Inspired by rvls. You can use `-l`

Run `fls -l` to list your current directory and display EXR informations.

Run `fls -l -- /path/of/directory/` to list a specific directory and display EXR informations.

```bash
$ fls -l -- samples/big/
RenderPass_Beauty_1_*****.exr@0-96
RenderPass_Occlusion_1_*****.exr@0-73,75-96
RenderPass_Id_1_*****.exr@0-96

### Recursive

You can use a recursive approch of the directory and sub-folder

You can use `-r`

Run `fls -r -- /path/of/directory/` to list a specific directory and his
subfolder

```bash
$ fls -r -- .\samples\
.\samples\big\RenderPass_Diffuse_1_*****.exr@0-96
.\samples\big\RenderPass_Ncam_1_00042.exr.bkp
.\samples\big\RenderPass_DiffuseKey_1_*****.exr@0-96
.\samples\big\RenderPass_Occlusion_1_*****.exr@0-73,75-96
