Proxy filesystem for FUSE

Proxy filesystem for FUSE is a powerful implementation of a filesystem that resolves symlinks and displays them as real folders, and more. It enables users to point a folder or a single file at a file in their home directory and hide files/directories from the folder listing. Its configuration is easily managed through a .proxyfs file in a directory.

The configuration is stored in a standard .ini format in a file named .proxyfs, which contains section headers in [] following keys/values for the section. The section can either be [Directory], which applies the properties to the current directory, or [File/< somefile >], which applies them to the specified file. Users can LinkTo the folder or file specified and use the ~ character in the string to link to their current home directory. They can also hide the current folder or file if set to 1 using the Hidden property. More options will be available in future versions, time permitting.

To install Proxy filesystem for FUSE, users need to install wxWidgets (currently non-Unicode, but this is being worked on) and configure, compile, and install 2.6.4 using the provided commands. They also need FUSE, which can be obtained through the standard Gentoo FUSE ebuild. Once everything is installed, users can build the source code using ./build.sh and mount the filesystem using ./proxyfs /mnt/proxyfs /proxyfsroot. A quick check using ls -lah /mnt/proxyfs should display the mounted files and folders.

Overall, Proxy filesystem for FUSE is an efficient and easy-to-use tool that allows users to easily navigate through and manipulate files and folders in their system while providing advanced configuration options.
