Does anyone know a tool that allows to browse a list of files (like the output of `find` or `tar -t`) interactively? Like, allowing to collapse folders, for example, or something like what `ncdu` does.

@roobre Are you trying to spell "file manager"?

@noriko Yes, but a file manager that operates just on a file list instead of the filesystem.

@p_ Because the tar file is huge and I don't want to uncompress it, just check its contents comfortably

@roobre are you sure it's even possible to see inside it without extracting?

@p_ You need to uncompress it, but not to extract it. See tar -t. Basically reads everything and discards all but filenames, which are printed to stdout. Since you don't write anyhting to disk is orders of magnitude faster than extracting and browsing (and requires no free space).

@roobre Create a virtual fs out of your text, then use a file manager to browse it
