73. Enhancements

1. Introduction​

Once the core features work, we can add enhancements to improve usability.

2. Adding Logging​

import logging

logging.basicConfig(filename="file_manager.log", level=logging.INFO)

def log_action(action, path):
    logging.info("%s: %s", action, path)

3. Adding Colors (optional)​

def print_success(msg):
    print(f"\033[92m{msg}\033[0m")  # green

def print_error(msg):
    print(f"\033[91m{msg}\033[0m")  # red

4. Configuration File​

Allow default directory or settings from config.json.

import json

with open("config.json") as f:
    config = json.load(f)
print("Default dir:", config["default_dir"])

5. Aliases for Commands​

Instead of typing list, allow ls.
This can be handled by mapping aliases.

aliases = {"ls": "list", "rm": "delete"}
command = aliases.get(args.command, args.command)

6. Next Steps​

✅ We added enhancements like logging, colors, and aliases.
Next: Testing and debugging.
