Hi,
I recently launched my new app at Google Play and know I want to present it here!
Auto Move is an app, which moves all the files you want to your desired location - and you don't have to do anything for it!
Example: You want every PDF file you are downloading to be moved to a certain destination. That's no problem for Auto Move!
In order to get the app working like this, you have to add a filter, which is filtering for "pdf" files - if you want it to filter for several filetypes at once, that's no problem - just seperate the filter tags by commas. Alternatively it's possible to filter for the filename (e.g. "wallpaper" or "university").
After defining source and target destination you can save the filter now (or add just more filters) and begin filtering!
There's an option in the settings, which let you define how the app should work in the backgroud:
Service: The app will register new files automatically and begin to move them.
Time Intervall: The app will scan the filesystem for new files in the defined intervall.
no automatic filtering: The app won't do anything accept to told him so manually.
All advantages of the app:
unlimited amout of filters
easy configuration because of several filterwords in one filter
filtering for file extension or file name is possible
moving or copying of the files is possible
automatic moving (with service) oder by time intervall is possible
loss of data isn't possible since backup and restore feature
great design
RESTRICTIONS OF THE FREE VERSION:
there is a maximum of one filter
you can't restore a database backup
I've attached some screenshots, that you can look at the app.
I hope you like my app! If don't please contact me!

@luhu
What a most smart app I've ever seen! Good work
Can you add the case about apk files which require root permissions or xposed framework or not?
@marbulas
Thank you very much!
Do you mean that it should possible to filter for apk files with these different properties?

I think many people will need this app being much smarter.
(the specified amount of size of files, resorting files in specified directory based in date
(for example, many people will need to sort with folders about their photos and videos : if I take pictures today, the app put them into the folder names 20140915 made by the app automatically),
specied something other people suggests...)
Useful app i'm gone use it from now on! Keep the improvements coming
Thank you very much guys!
I'm going to look how difficult it is to implement these features!

Inspired by this post on the blog I decided to ease up the exclusion of directories from the gallery/media database. Gallery Excluder does the job for me.
Here's why:
Many apps create folders on the sd-card and drop their stuff there. Often, they place images as well. Now that Android checks the sd-card for new media from time to time, these folders will be added to the media database and displayed in the stock Gallery app.
Here's how:
Gallery Excluder lists all direct subfolders of '/sdcard' respectively '/mnt/sdcard' and displays them in a list. If an item/folder gets checked there is a '.nomedia' placed in that folder. If the folder gets unchecked the '.nomedia' is removed.
Since it can take a while to have the gallery update you can force a manual update via options menu.
So please let me know if such a tool can be helpful for anyone except myself.
UPDATED VERSION:
I got a new version that supports subfolders (available at the 1st post)
Navigation:
- long press an item to dive into the subfolder
- back takes you up one level
Downside: there is no feedback when you selected a subfolder for its parent. E.g. when you excluded /mnt/sdcard/folder/subfolder/ you can't recognize it when viewing folder /mnt/sdcard/ (folder won't be selected).
Pre-Market release: Please check.
Updated:
- Select all/none
- Hint for 1st time users

it's not mine. looks good so far. but it needs work yet.
I just use the app called Quich Pik. It loads faster and you can choose which galleries to hide and which ones you want hidden with password protection.

.nomedia is good for hiding porn on the Gallery.
Servus!
I'd like to present my first published (and non-commercial) Android App.
The name of my first published App is Save To Phone. It's completely free and withouts ads available via playstore.
What can the app do?
You as enthusiastic Android-Fans surely know the "Share" or "Export" function many apps like Google Drive, Dropbox, Facebook, and many others have. Save To Drive will save the content, which you want to "Share" or "Export" to a Folder of your choice, in your storage. Be it photos, data from a cloud application or anything else. If the content is only text (e.g. a link), the text gets saved to your clipboard.
You like the idea? Download my app and try it: Save To Phone !
Completely free and without ads!
I'd be really grateful if you could give me a bit of feedback. Either in this forum or via email to : [email protected]. Just say which features you'd like to have in there, what you don't like about the app and what you would like to see improved... and everything else which comes to your mind concerning the app.

As suggested by you, I am re-posting my views here. @uuOuu, if possible, please add an option to sort the music by date added or last modified. Currently, music is listed alphabetically. Most users would like to hear the latest songs first . Also the settings menu is accessible only from the home screem, rather it should be accessible from anywhere within the app. Thank you.

Hi @digesh9870, the dev list has fixed according to the latest vote, discussed with dev team, they will support this feature in their free time. If you have any other requirement, we will add to the vote list, your vote will fast the progress.
@balilu
the feature "Move file to target folder" is in poll.
In our dev plan, this is the same as you mentioned "Cut & paste", but I wonder if you have more ideas to file operations on mobile, kindly please share more experience while you dealing with files.
Many thanks.
Hi All, you can also leave your idea/suggestions here, to build our own file manager together.
We shall collect all your suggestions, and schedule in our dev/poll list.
i would request you to add feature's which are:
1.preview of audio file while selecting audio files for sending via whatever
will add more in a few minutes gotta go somewhere...
@uuOuu
Feature request: editing permissions. Allows you set r/w permission for owner/group/everyone.
Another feature request: Instead of displaying share folders not available, you could perhaps just remove the option.
Yet another feature request: allow removing /system apps (root only of course), but add a warning: you are removing a system app etc. etc.
Here are my requests to make it awesome,
Symlink the application from Preload to System app for Samsung device (Or say create a link for the file) option.
Backup the apk and its data.
Backup the application automatically when installed/updates on user choice, also an option to keep the max versions.
Open and edit ability for zip files even to create zip files.
Hey some features to add:
- permissions changer for root, if possible also multi file premission changer. I couldnt find this in any root explorer.
- root - mount rw
- cloud for dropbox, gdrive etc.,
- if we have app manager why not to give us app backup with this?
- rar unpacking if not present, I dont know
- playlists creator? I remember it was in old astro file browser and was working great with Sony Walkman which dont have playlists creator from folders
- maybe it is posiible to add custom path for bluetooth? Would be awesome
- and stilll thinking what more.
Anyway it is first file manager where users are choosing features mostly

Hi all
Whenever I transfer my photos to my pc from the device, it asks if i want to overwrite some i already have. This seems down to the phone creating file names in the same order at all times, rather than say - naming a photo by it's date.
How can I change the way file names are saved/created in the camera app, at present I'm having to give each photo a name so as not to loose any in the process of saving them to my desktop.
Renz
I would say some more input about what you do exactly would be helpful so I'm just guessing that by transfer you mean moving the photo files off the phone and new pictures start again with DSC_0001.JPG. To prevent this keep the last photo (with the highest number in the filename) on your phone to avoid that the next photo starts with 1 again.
I use "DSC Auto Rename" from the play store. Install it, activate it and you can set it to automatically name files by date and time. It runs in the background and works perfectly

Hello,
I was searching about a feature to limit the access of apps to certain files or directories.
Use Case: I may have a directory I store music and do not want to share this with (amazon music, ....)
I may have a directory where I store pictures which should not be seen by other applications.
Today I use a of the shelf Samsung A3 2016 Android 7.0, but I used Xposed, CM and rooted devices. in the past. I'm not registered as developer here did never codded Android app or kernel but developed on embedded Devices and Linux in the past. I would be happy if you could share a ready to use setting, app or development idea (even if you did not got it running).
What I investigated and did not work so far:
Option A - .nomedia
I know already there is a possibility to use .nomedia file in the directory to avoid pictures being shown in Gallery, BUT this is a feature of the Gallery app (as far as I see). So the developer of the Gallery app could also access to the pictures in the directories, if they would like. So I'm not happy with this.
Option B - using cryptography
So I could simply put the sensitive data into a container, there are apps out e.g. EDS.
But I found out if the application who should access the data is not providing a "path" where the data is stored or doesn't provide an interface to a cryptography it can not be used. And once I entered the password and the directory is mounted all the applications running are able to access the files.
Option C - restrict media access
The Android allows to restrict the access to media, so I simply could switch off the access in the app I do not want to allow. But this doesn't work if the app need to store data. Android Music should be able to store the music on the phone but should not be allowed to access the other directories on my SD.
In pure Linux it would be quite easy you can use different users and access to files.
But Xposed may provide a solution as I could filter requests to the file system, but is there a example out there.
Thank you for reading all the stuff
I'm looking forward to read about your ideas

Hello,
no one has an idea or solution? I'm not able to post in the developers section may be one of you
may move the post into the Development part.
If not existing yet I would try to find out how to develop
