[APP] X-Plore File Manager - duel pane tree view. Worth checking out. - Android Apps and Games

Love this file manager. Everyone should be using this. Only thing that seems to confuse people, if you wanna copy of move a file to a different location, the file has to be selected from one side, and the destination has to be selected on the other side, then you hit copy of move and it will send it to that location. I usually just keep internal on one side, external on the other, and you can pop things back and forth. Works the same for sending files to cloud storage. However dropsync is the app I most use for that, large files seem to transfer more easily than in file managers. Smaller files work just fine tho.

im using this since ages. best one for ZIP operations.

Yeah it just seems like a lot of people have hard-ons for es and that root browser. I think anybody not using this file manager is just wasting time.

I've been using this app since the glory days of s60v3. all other file manager apps just look like a confusing mess to me compared to x-plore and I don't ever see the day coming when I'll drop it.
that said there does seem to be some kind of changes in google's file system that x-plore hasn't kept up with. moving and copying files on marshmallow roms made after roughly Jan/Feb 2016 has the exact same issues for me on 2 phones. one is an s4 i9505 running custom and the other is an m8 on HTC made google edition firmware. that stops me thinking it's rom related.
without me even describing the issue in any detail do others out there know what I'm talking about ?
does anyone with a real dev level of understanding know specifically what the cause is ? if so I'd like to share that info with the dev at LCG and to bring the app back to it's former and fully deserved glory...

Are you talking about Android 5+ SD card write support? If yes, X-plore already supports it.

I switched from ES to X-plore.
To be honest, ES is more user friendly. X-plore is more like Total Commander, dual-panel styled file manager, which is more geeky.
Features are about the same, but X-plore is better for zip/archive management. I love disk map too, much faster than storage analyzer in ES. Also, ES is a adware/bloatware now, always sending data to servers in China.

no that wasn't what I meant. specifically it's copying and moving files from anywhere to anywhere now results in a kind of hang for up to half an hour depending on the file size. you can leave the process to run in the background or even interrupt it and cancel it (most of the time it will be completed unless you marked more than one file). even if you've cancelled the move or copy and killed the app the notification will stay up for about half an hour before finally deciding it's completed with a toast to confirm it.
in the early days moving one file within the same memory was instant as the index was updated rather than moving anything. once this stopped being the case this weird error began it's journey.

I also use profimail from same author. Great apps

check your configuration screen in the app, do you have "do you have open APK as zip" checked ? if yes uncheck it and see if it works.

Android file management idea

I have noticed that android apps are horrible with file management. When you install an app on the phone it installs a whole new file hierarchy.
Example... when you install Meme Generator it creates a memegenerator folder within that folder it caches Favorites, Instances, Generators, and shares
when you delete the app it doesn't remove this folder or any of its contents​
My idea is an app that would scan folders and mark if the folder is useless or not. Especially the unknown data folders that say something like com.fatsecret.android and have nothing but random .dat files or a .nomedia folder/file. Almost like a registry checker for a PC.
Another idea is to have an app that scans the SD card and locates all media. It would tell you how many of what type of file you have on your phone, and allow you to mass move to selected folders (Not copy or transfer but actually move th file to its new location)
im no programer but these would be great apps if they were to be developed
It would be really great man, unfortunately, I'm not able to develop things like this, but let me know about if it's ready.

The question would be how to determine useless folders.

My initial idea was to use a system similar to a windows registry. Once the app starts for the first time it will create a database that stores folder data, which then it tries to match to an app that installed it. If the folder shows that the app that created it has been deleted it shows a red folder or has a negative mark next to it, if its still installed it shows a positive or green folder. This way you can get rid of the bad folders.
My second idea was to have an app create a drop folder for certain file types. For instance a folder like MY DOCUMENTS that has the folders MUSIC, PICTURES, AND VIDEOS. When the app starts it has you select a folder to drop a specific file type (example .MP3 files into MY DOCUMENTS/MUSIC). The all then media scans the phone and locate all matching file types and MOVES the file not COPYS.

Something kinda similar to what you want was introduced in FroYo. It gives each app a directory (on the SD card I don't know about onboard memory) that is automatically deleted by the system when the app is installed. Currently it has a few fairly big bugs but hopefully they will get fixed and developers will start to use it.

That sounds liie it will be excellent once its implemented. I'm sure as most new things take time to catch on this will probably take a little while for it to happen. Maybe Google is going to make it mandatory for devs to do this.
Smells like WINNING from my T-959 xda premium app
It wouldn't necessarily have to be an app but some process that would make create or add to (create a sub-directory) default folders. I'm not saying it has to be a window like system but as simple as it gets Music, Images, Documents, Downloads maybe a spare folder for necessary background files (Hidden) But accessible when needed. The biggest problem here is that I don't think too many people that want this solution are programmers. because if you know how to program then you spend all day sorting throu this stuff anyway.
Well i'm on 2.2.1 and the system still keeps the settings folders in /dbdata/databases/*packagename* after you uninstalled it.
I usually resort to deleting the folders in adb shell when programming and testing apps.
So it seems there is need for this and there is no such tool yet?
I might start on it then, do you think there is enough intrest in something like that?
Help me with the most difficult and important step, invent a name for such an app !
Sounds like a useful tool. Great idea.

Hi,
thank you for recommending FE! We think it's time to change, Astro and ES are good app but we think we can provide more useful and powerful alternative.
Amazing app, I switched a couple weeks ago. I put in feature requests on your forum, mainly for a refresh button for the toolbar.
Some other things that would be nice:
more archive support (7z for example)
And the 'download any file from the browser's feature astro has.
I use FE primarily, but because it lacks 7z support and the browser download feature I am forced to keep two other file managers handy.
Anyway this app is still superior to all other file managers, keep up the good work!
This is a really cool app. One request:
Option to show Toolbar only when at least one item is checked, or by pressing Menu while at least one item is checked.
Also, for some reason it takes a while (around 1 full second) for the Operation menu to show after I click on the button. Should it take this long?
I'm totally trying it!!!! As soon as I get home

Those **Private** Pictures

Hello!
I have tried multiple app without success. Someone know a Good App to Encrypt those **Private** (cough...porn) pictures that sometimes we take with our excellent Infuse Camera???
well the simple solution is to use the built in file browser and move the pictures to any other folder, then put a file in there with the name .nomedia
Doing this will stop the media scanner from scanning the folder and showing up in the gallery or player apps. Of course this doesn't encrypt them, but it still lets you open them from your file browser of choice. The caveat is that if anyone else gets in there or plugs your phone in to a computer, there may be a chance at finding them.
Nice...

I think your box.net answer is the only good one. As for those pics there is soooooo many ways to access files on your phone, file browser, root explorer, astro file, etc. etc... If someone wanted to find them they could. So if its important to encrypt them or make sure no one sees them the only answer is to "get them off your phone"!! I personally use dropbox for the not so good for the family to view pics and I don't have my password saved so I must enter it everytime I login, they are safe, secure, follow me to any device, and I'm happy. Not to sound at all like an iphone fanboy but apple wins in this category, I miss my photo vault app, touche little piece of fruit... lol

Agree!! The only piece I miss from IP4 is PhotoVault.
Rename the Folder
You can also rename the folder with the "confidential" pictures adding a . at the beginning... In my case my folder's called ".databases" (yeah the less interesting name the better)...
Whenever it's showtime just remove the . and the images/movies will be found by the Media Scanner on the phone...
When you add the . they'll dissappear... Since this complies with linux's way of hidding folders, if you mount the phone into a linux/osx pc you retain the hidden property ;-) Windows is an entirely different matter though

App Developers Listen Up - Put your config and junk data in sdcard/apps!

Hi XDA!
I realise that I'm new here, so I may not get listened to, but I've been using smartphones for a while and this has always been an annoyance for me.
Currently, my internal storage (internal sd as some like to call it), is full of config, backup and other files placed there by app developers. I have a folder called AussieWeatherRadar, one called Cut the Rope, and one called rammanager, just to name a few.
As I have a bit of OCD, I like to keep my internal memory looking tidy, but how is this possible with so many folders, none of which conform to any particular standards?
I am suggesting the following: App developers should use the /apps/ folder, or a similar folder on the sd card to store their data. This way, the user's SD card does not look cluttered, but the data is all still there.
So please, app developers, here my plea! Please use the /app/ directory!
Do you have any comments or suggestions on this? Please comment!
Thanks,
John
TL;DR: App developers should use the sdcard/app/ folder for their junk/config/backup files so that sdcard/ looks tidy.
Second the sentiment.

Developers *HAVE* a default location to place their data if they need to store in external storage. Google dictates for it to be in /sdcard/Android/data
I have made an app that creates in terms an init.d script that auto removes these folders on boot, but that doesn't solve the problem.
Developers wanting to promote their apps create folders with, honestly nothing in them, to show off.
I have created a Google Docs document that I will share tomorrow with the apps I have installed on my phone that create an sdcard folder. Perhaps you could help improve that list.
One afternoon in last December I had emailed all those app developers about this. Do you know how many answers I received to about 10 emails? None..
We should all organize a massive email sendout to them again. After all its their own fault for not sticking to Android guidelines.

How to create a shortcut on Android to a Windows folder, not using ESFileExplorer

Hi - it is easy to create a shortcut on my Android 6.0.1 desktop to a Windows 10 folder using ES File Explorer. The trouble is I find ES File Explorer really irritating these days and want to uninstall it. Is there any other way to create a shortcut on the Android desktop? I have tried one or two file managers such as Solid Explorer, File Commander, but can't see a way to do it...
Did you try like that ?

I have used ES File Explorer for years, I don't see what all the fuss is about with ES File Explorer these days. It's as easy to use as it ever was and I barely even notice "bloat". Why all the fuss?

It has waaaaaay to much going on for it now. With the " junk cleaners" and "charge boosters" and all that. As android enthusiasts, we find that insulting. Because we know it doesn't work/makes much of a difference.
ES was based on relevance and simplicity once. Now its just as toxic as an app developed by Cheetah Mobile.

It was the King of File Explorers. Without question. But now its just.....too much. Thank God (and Google) for sideloading.

Yeah, I avoid those extra useless features and still use ES without ever encountering them.
All they did was incorporate a couple of the other ES apps into ES File Explorer instead of having them as separate apps, e.g. ES Task Manager and such.
They have quite a way to go before they're as bad as Cheetah Mobile.

Well I try to disable them but they keep popping up all over the place. And the largest font is so small I can't see anything anyway! Using a Xperia Z3C...
Thanks very much for the older version ... the shortcut seems to work.
Strange that no other apps offer a homescreen shortcut to a windows folder since I guess at some point this old ES will cease to work..

Then maybe you can try the version I just uploaded. It has all the useful features minus the bloat.
Maybe they're not really as bad as Cheetah Mobile. But because they were held at a higher standard, they just seem like more of a disappointment.
I don't know what happened, my guess is that they sold the company. It sucks tho.

If it gets to where I'm aggravated by newer versions of ES File Explorer I'll revert to an older version, I'd rather not depend on a version that will at some point no longer work.
