I've been having a heck of a time trying to link filesystem into my program on my Unix machine and so I'm going to give up and try another library if a good one exists. Come to think of it, the only functionalities I need are:
(1) Verifying the existence of a folder by its full path given by a user in the command line
(2) Checking whether a filename/extension combination exists in a directory given by a user in the command line
Can I get that from the standard library?
I would recommend Qt. Great file handling classes.
http://qt-project.org/
QFile and QDir are a good place to start.

I am looking for some frontend (GUI, Graphical user interface) for GCC and G++ which is oriented towards helping me setup the compiler in a user-friendly way.
I am not looking for a development environment, and the code edition is being made on a dedicated text editor (VS Code, Atom, whatever). I only want to compile my source and header files and change any compiler setting.
You can use Make to properly compile your files through a configuration (Makefile), but there is no GUI.

I'm looking for small library or snippet, which can simply fill my program (c++ with qt) variables with parameters given in command line. What do you recommend?
Eg. string myVariable = libraryFunction("something");. Function searches for "-something" key in parameters list and sends its value to my variable.
Check out Boost Program_options. Also you mention QT, so this SO answer might help.
I think the suggestion from others to use the Boost program Options is probably the right choice.
However some alternatives:
Commandline Option Parser - Glib
TCLAP Templatized C++ Command Line Parser Library

I'm looking for documentation on C++ code for file and directory implementation into C++ programs.
I like going to cplusplus.com because of the documents and examples they have, but I can't find documentation on dirent.h, I'm not even sure it's all that great.
I'm looking to have a program able to see inside a directory, meaning obtaining a list of the files and sub-directories within, plus being able to get the modify/creation date of such things. I program in Ubuntu Linux.
Go to terminal, type man dirent, press enter and read it. If your distribution didn't install manpages for some reason, it won't be available. But in this case you can google it.

I'm looking for a way in which I can align/format text output to the terminal window in C++, independent of the terminal window's size (I'm not looking to use iomanip with setw() or whatever). There is a library out there that allows for this, it begins with "n" I think, but I can't for the life of my find it. Honestly, I have thoroughly searched google, wikipedia etc and I just can't find it without knowing the name of it.
Thanks very much!
I think you are looking for the Gnu ncurses libary.

I want to start a new C++ (Qt) Open Source project and I'm wondering if there is an existing template somewhere for files usually found in an Open Source project but that are not purely source code (README, LICENSE, CHANGELOG, etc.)
I could probably find a popular Open Source project for inspiration but if there is some existing generic templates, I will use that instead.
Thanks.
One place to look might be the implementation of the GNU Hello program. It includes all the standard template files expected by the GNU coding guidelines.
You may, of course, choose to follow another set of guidelines than GNU's.
You might find the boost sandbox template interesting: Sandbox Template
