Miller columns at larger screen sizes #295

I would love a file browser on Linux that has a miller column view, as that view makes it much easier to navigate complex folder hierarchies.

It seems like a fitting expansion of Portfolio for larger devices (e.g. tablets, 2-in-1s), as Portfolio is already based around a single-column list of files. And it would also bring a much-requested Nautilus feature to Flathub.

Unfortunately, Nautilus has deemed this feature as out of scope, but since Portfolio has a much more recent architecture and a lot less old code to maintain, I'm hoping it would be easier to implement a Miller Column view here.

This app looks promising. Does it support linux desktop?

Yes, you can get it on Flathub. However, it's touch-centric and doesn't support Miller columns yet.

There is a great file browser called katana here : https://github.com/gavr123456789/Katana (Take a look at the videos) Following this design (miller columns not proposed by nautilus) could make Portfolio usefull for mobile and laptop platform.
