My plan was from the beginning to make a GUI file manager. Nothing difficult
only ‘simple’ because my other project, named by the signature, has sometimes a
moment where I am stuck. At that moment I want to do something else something
easier so that I can clear my mind for a bit. And I really need that, but I
need such things by everything.. Even school. :)
Not because it’s too difficult but because of my concentration....
Anyway, thank you!

Most of us don't, probably because it's hard to automate (script)
things that way.

Well, yes, GUIs are somewhat catering to noobs. :-) But they can
sometimes be beneficial as well. Of course, a lot of that can
similarly be accomplished with TUI.

I think we (briefly) discussed some alternatives once before. Yeah,
there is no perfect answer (although Blocek can view many images as
well, and at least it's free/libre; never did find all the obscure
PacePlayer sources, ugh).

It seems we can't agree on what exactly is in a UI. For instance, are
we viewing graphics? Clickable, runnable icons (a la menu)? Or just
browsing files (file manager)? Integrated apps (drag and drop,
clipboard)?
So I don't know what we're trying to accomplish here. It's not a bad
idea, but indeed it's probably best to study pre-existing solutions
unless you know exactly what you want to do.
P.S. One GUI that I didn't see anyone mention is this (although I
never really tried it):
