TUI frontend for parted: A simple, user-friendly utility for creating, moving, resizing, and deleting disk partitions, based on Free Vision application framework.

MBR is partially supported, as long as no extended partition found on the device.

Currently supported filesystems:

	Create	Move	Shrink	Grow	Label
bcachefs	✔️	✔️		✔️*
btrfs	✔️	✔️	✔️*	✔️*	✔️
ext2	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️
ext3	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️

*In case of btrfs and bcachefs, for now the app doesn't deal with multi disk array.

Install

Pre-built binary

• See Releases section.

Archlinux User Repository (AUR)

• Run git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/tparted-bin.git, then enter tparted-bin directory and run makepkg -si
• Alternatively you can use an AUR helper, like paru -S tparted-bin or yay -S tparted-bin

Building from source

• Since the app requires Unicode version of Free Vision, you need to have Free Pascal (beta 3.3.1) or later beta version installed on the system.
• Run make build to build the app. The binary is located in ./bin directory.
• Run make install to install the app to /usr/local/bin

Translation

• The app is capable of loading translation files in .mo format. Simply translate the default en_US.po file to your language of choice, convert it to the .mo format via msgfmt tool, then place the converted file into the ./bin/locale directory.
• The app depends on the LANG environment variable to determine the language. For example, the app will try to load ja_JP.mo or ja.mo if LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8.
