Freedesktop XDG user folders, Linux FHS paths & disk mount inspector

ScreenshotScreenshotScreenshot

XDG and System Directory Inspector is a desktop special directory catalog, permission
auditor, and filesystem capacity viewer for Freedesktop XDG user paths and Linux
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) system directories.
An independent Linux alternative inspired by desktop special folder viewer utilities, it
inspects real user-dirs.dirs definitions, XDG Base Directory paths, and standard FHS
locations with live file counts, POSIX permissions, ownership, and mount telemetry.

Key Features:
- Freedesktop XDG User & Base Directories: Resolves live Desktop, Documents, Downloads,
Music, Pictures, Videos, Templates, Public, Config, Cache, Data, and State directories
from ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and real home paths.
- Linux FHS System Path Auditor: Inspects /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /usr/share, /etc, /var,
/tmp, /run, /media, and /mnt with direct file and subfolder counts, octal and symbolic
POSIX modes, UID/GID ownership, and inode metadata.
- Filesystem Capacity & Mount Mapping: Queries os.statvfs and /proc/mounts for each
directory to display backing mount source, filesystem type, total/used/available disk
space, and visual capacity charts.
- Quick Actions & Reports: Supports one-click folder opening, clipboard path copying,
missing XDG directory creation, live child entry preview, and CSV/JSON export.
