have started to learn python few days ago. And today I found this tutorial to make a file manager. How to make a Simple Python File Manager - CodeGeek.io But when i ran it, I found it was little complex and very less time consuming. So anyone can suggest to make a better version of it?
I wanna add archiving option and some new functions.
And To make it less complex too.

What I have tried:

I have tried to change the extension of files. But that won't work i know.
Tried to add back options, but there no goto function like in other programs too.

This is not a question we can help with. If the code does not work then you need to contact the person who posted it on the website. And saying "I wanna add archiving option and some new functions, And To make it less complex" is a contradiction in terms. You cannot make it less complex by adding new features. You best bet would be to remove some of the existing features until you can understand what the remaining code is doing. Then gradually add them back in until you are ready to add the new ones.

Yes, you can !
But from your comments, I fear you need to learn real programming and analyze.

A good starting point is to learn an analyze method:
- Dijkstra Top-Down method is a good start.
