# VelociDir
> [!WARNING]
> **VelociDir is under heavy development.** It operates with full system permissions to manage your files. Use with caution. Current builds are only tested on **Windows**.
**VelociDir** is a high-performance, premium multi-pane file explorer built for power users. Engineered with the speed of **Rust** and the fluidity of **React**, it offers a browser-like experience for your local filesystem with advanced window management and rich media integration.
## Why VelociDir?
While traditional file explorers are clunky and limited, VelociDir is designed for speed and professional workflows:
- **Fluid Multi-Pane Layout**: Side-by-side terminal-inspired file exploration. Add, resize, and manage multiple explorer panes within a single tab.
- **Turbo-Charged Previews**: Native, high-fidelity media previews (Images, Video, SVG) with optimized performance that doesn't slow down your system.
- **Power-User Context Actions**: Elevated execution (Run as Admin), path copying, and integrated terminal launching (PowerShell) exactly where you need it.
- **Modern UX**: A premium glassmorphism design system with smooth animations, responsive scaling, and high-DPI support.
- **Real-Time Filtering**: Instant search and highlighting within specific folders to find what you need in milliseconds.
