As elFinder depends on jQuery-UI, which should ultimately be removed, we need to look for a replacement, preferably an existing health project in Vue.js with the right license. See also jQuery UI dependencies. See also: https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder/discussions/3648

Virtualmin's File Manager
- Perhaps Virtualmin's File Manager could be extracted and re-used? It is Bootstrap 5
- Some code would need to be ported from Perl: https://github.com/webmin/authentic-theme/tree/master/extensions/file-manager
- License is MIT
- Developer (Ilia) is also a PHP dev, and very active
- https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/tutorial/how-to-use-the-file-manager/
- https://github.com/virtualmin/virtualmin-gpl/issues/582
- https://github.com/webmin/webmin/issues/2113
- It would make UX between Tiki and Virtualmin/Webmin more consistent, which would be great for WikiSuite.

Opinions
Optional UI enhancement
elFinder is an preference and it replaces the native Tiki interface (like FullCalendar replaced the native Tiki calendar interface). If possible, I would prefer to go all-in and only have one interface. {}
