The author here. Marta doesn't perform any network activity besides update checks, which you can disable. If you wish, you can block all network access for the application in your firewall.

Well, I won't call "New release" / "New release" a changelog. It's simply not a log of changes.

The language looks really nice. I especially like its strong-typing nature. It seems, though, that it won't be easy to embed – Nim compiler requires either gcc or clang.

Well, I'm not a big fan of JavaScript :) I like the direction ECMAScript is going. However, the clumsy things are going to stay because of backward compatibility. Also, QuickJS is a good initiative, but I afraid it's not productio

It seems that quite a lot of people use Lua. I liked the language, it's tiny and well-made. However, I wasn't happy about the tooling support. IDE plugins, documentation generators, lint checkers – all of this seem abandoned. Is t

You can choose what parts of the standard library scripts allowed to use. Just exclude os/debug libraries, and that's it. Newer versions of the Programming in Lua book contain detailed instructions.

Forgot to update it, my shame! :) Will be updated in 0.5.1.

Thanks for the advice! I'll make a gallery that will show more features of Marta.

I was going to post the detailed answer to your message, but I realized it won't make any sense. I won't argue with you. I only say that envy is bad for your health.

Marta is not inspired by fman. The Action panel (I think it's called a Command palette in fman) is likely to be the only common thing between our products – and we both took it from Sublime Text. But it's not really important. The

You can use both :) Some of my friends use Finder for simple things like opening the downloaded file, and Marta for advanced file operations.

Well, until Swift introduces ABI compatibility, this is definitely a problem, as both Marta API and a plugin need to be built with the same version of Swift. Depending on the Swift release roadmap, I'll postpone 1.0 until the release o

According to what I know, in case of desktop applications, the revenue drops almost to zero, unless you have a Free and Pro versions. "Free edition" then lacks almost all features that make the product competitive, and it's n

Marta author here. I agree with you that the open source software has higher level of trust than the proprietary one, but I afraid I just can't maintain Marta steadily for a long time if it was open-sourced (and then forever free). And

Marta author here. The default key binding set is a de facto standard for double-pane file managers. I personally used Total Commander for a long time until I switched to Mac, and I really missed a FM with the similar hotkeys. But I underst

The default bindings are just a de facto standard for double-pane file managers. But all key bindings are configurable, and you can set them to whatever you want in the configuration file. Check the documentation [1] for more information. [

To be honest, the initial launch of Marta was an important lesson for me. I started with a closed alpha so I could fix the critical bugs until it will become open for everyone – not because I want everyone's emails to send some shitty

I'm not affiliated with VK moderators in any manner. It's their own business. I know it's all about trust, but Marta doesn't have any tracking code, and never will. Trust is much more important that any statistics.

Closed alpha allows me to fix the critical bugs until Marta will be available freely. It's not about a subscription to some shitty weekly newspaper. I already got the valuable feedback from alpha users. But I completely understand you.

The development of Marta started the long before I knew about fman, so it's not any kind of imitation. Actually, in the beginning, I also thought about making the cross-platform file manager, but I quickly realized that the approach wi

Thank you! :) Well, the problem is that Sublime Text is the only GUI cross-platform application with the native behavior I know, so it's more like an exception. And it shows that making portable tools right is not that simple. I don&#x
