What is Bennu?

Features:

-Multi-column browsing, with a familiar list view too. Expand directories column by column along the hierarchy, or switch to a list view better suited for scanning and sorting. Tabs and split panes let you work with multiple locations at once. -You decide the search scope. Search the current directory recursively, your Home, or all indexed locations, and add custom indexed directories in Settings. When the background service is unavailable, current-directory search still falls back to a local scan. -Take a peek instead of opening another app. Preview text, Markdown, directory trees, archives, PDF, Office documents, images (including AVIF), audio, and video. Some formats need optional dependencies. -Blends into the Linux desktop instead of reinventing it. Supports GTK bookmarks, UDisks2 storage devices, SMB / WebDAV / SFTP network locations, desktop themes, default apps, and terminal invocation. -Everyday details are yours to tune. Hidden files, startup location, session restore, language, terminal, GPU preference, file checksums, and keyboard shortcuts are all adjustable in Settings. The properties window supports directory statistics and permission changes.

Also included: trash, batch rename, compression and extraction, drag and drop, multi-target file properties, and other everyday operations.
