pesconvert
Brother PES file converter
pesconvert is a command-line utility for converting Brother PES embroidery files into more accessible formats for viewing or further processing. It parses stitch commands, color changes, and frame boundaries from the binary PES structure and reconstructs the path of the needle across the canvas. The tool emits vector-friendly output so you can inspect or scale designs without losing detail, making it handy for previewing patterns or preparing them for other software. Because the PES format encodes jumps, trims, and thread changes, the converter normalizes these events into a clean sequence of segments. The implementation favors clarity so hobbyists can understand and extend it for their own machine workflows. It’s a practical bridge between proprietary embroidery design files and open tooling. -

stroke
Dynamically changing modification, access, and change time components
Oftentimes it is desirable to exclusively change a few specific components of a file's modification, access, or change time. However, the method provided by the conventional touch utility appears inadequate for this basic task. More than that, easily modifying a file's change time is not possible at all. Stroke is a small tool that offers a solution by providing a user with an extended command line interface that allows her to utilize an easy syntax to dynamically specify certain date and time components to be altered. All in all stroke can be seen as a potent alternative to touch that leaves a user with more options. -

However, it has been re-written from scratch, now using more up to date tools and libraries. -

fpart
Sort files and pack them into partitions
Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developped in C and available under the BSD license. It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or a limited size. Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default) or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs. Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those partitions (e.g. immediatly start a transfer using rsync(1)) without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used this way, fpart can be seen as a powerful data migration tool. -

nnn
The missing terminal file browser for X
nnn is a fork of noice, a blazing-fast lightweight terminal file browser with easy keyboard shortcuts for navigation, opening files and running tasks. noice is developed considering terminal based systems. There is no config file and mime associations are hard-coded. However, the incredible user-friendliness and speed make it a perfect candidate for modern distros. nnn works with the desktop opener, adds new navigation options, navigate-as-you-type mode, enhanced DE integration, bookmarks, a disk usage analyzer mode, comprehensive file details and much more. Add to that a huge performance boost. If you want to edit a file in vim with some soothing music in the background while referring to a spec in your GUI PDF viewer, nnn got it! Quickstart and see how nnn simplifies those long desktop sessions... Demo: https://vimeo.com/215489406
