File manager for Python

Question

I try to implement a file manager, the question arises as using Treeview to display a directory for specified so that would have happened in TotalCommander'e

Here's a snippet of code:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

class FileBrowser(Frame):

    def __init__(self, root):
        Frame.__init__(self, root)
        self.master.title('Файловый менеджер')
        self.master.geometry('1024x768')

        listframe = Frame(root, bd=5)
        listframe.pack(side='top', fill=BOTH, expand=1)

        self.filedirlist = ttk.Treeview(listframe)
        self.filedirlist["columns"]=("#1", "#2", "#3", "#4")
        self.filedirlist.column("#0", width=175, minwidth=100)
        self.filedirlist.column("#1", width=100, minwidth=100)
        self.filedirlist.column("#2", width=100, minwidth=100)
        self.filedirlist.column("#3", width=100, minwidth=100)
        self.filedirlist.column("#4", width=100, minwidth=100)
        self.filedirlist.heading("#0", text="Имя")
        self.filedirlist.heading("#1", text="Режим")
        self.filedirlist.heading("#2", text="Частота, МГц")
        self.filedirlist.heading("#3", text="Размер, Мб")
        self.filedirlist.heading("#4", text="Комментарий")
        self.filedirlist.pack(side='top', fill=BOTH, expand=1)
        listsb = Scrollbar(self.filedirlist,
                orient=HORIZONTAL, command=self.filedirlist.xview)
        listsb.pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=X)

        self.listbuttonopen = Button(listframe,
                text='Open').pack(side='left', padx='10', pady='5')
        self.listbuttondelete = Button(listframe,
                text='Delete').pack(side='left', padx='10', pady='5')
        self.listbuttonload = Button(listframe,
                text='Load').pack(side='left', padx='10', pady='5')

    if __name__=='__main__':
        root = Tk()
        FileBrowser(root).pack()
        root.mainloop()

When displaying folders should be active only the columns "Имя" and "Комментарий" and the remaining columns are active only when the contents of the selected folder.

Actually the question: Is it possible to implement it using Treeview'ra and how?)

P.S. Sorry for my English)

You can use the values keyword of tkinter.ttk.Treeview.insert in order to change specific columns of the table. You are already using the text option, but afterwards use values=("value1", "value2", "value3") in order to specify what the other columns display. For example:

Take your Treeview `filedirlist`:
----------------------------------------------
|   Name   |   Type   |   Size   |   Notes   |
----------------------------------------------
|                                            |
|                                            |
|                                            |
----------------------------------------------

filedirlist.insert("", tkinter.END, "element-id1", text="example1")
----------------------------------------------
|   Name   |   Type   |   Size   |   Notes   |
----------------------------------------------
| example1                                   |
|                                            |
|                                            |
----------------------------------------------

filedirlist.insert("", tkinter.END, "element-id2", text="example2", values=("type2", "size2", "notes2"))
----------------------------------------------
|   Name   |   Type   |   Size   |   Notes   |
----------------------------------------------
| example1                                   |
| example2   type2      size2      notes2    |
|                                            |
----------------------------------------------

Hope this helps!
