[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION], never mind, I'm using XInternalSD Xposed Module which seems to cause the issue. Disabling this module showed both Main Storage and Media Cards catalog correctly (and they were not duplicated), so, it's not an issue with FX...
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Still ought to be fixed in next release...assuming it was a problem with the recent update to storage detection. Even if the device reports two storages with same name FX should now show only one.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks for reporting, should be fixed in next release!

please fix bluetooth in share menu

it's not showing bluetooth option for .apk .rar etc for any unknown extension

showing on 4.4.2 but not on 4.1.2 & 5.0.2

Android deliberately disallows sharing APKs via bluetooth. FX Connect will do it though.

The new UI is a steb back from older UI:

I set theme to translucent dark, but it is not translucent

​

Compared to older UI, which was a bit translucent,

​
[Android Apps and Games] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I agree, you are killing us with the new UI, it's getting worse in my opinion. I think it's prefect the east it is in the official version and doesn't need any changes. I left beta testing just to get it back, I am only one person though and others may like the new UI, but not me.

My MM OS is not detected in the new version using the download link two pages back. I'm trying to test for you and you asked to report if MM isn't detected. I'm using CM/MM 6.1 on my sprint note 4.
[Android Apps and Games] hacker1911:
yep exactly what i thought at the first time i noticed that compared to other devices

but is there any way to get over it

it's not just the apk though (only media files can be sent -->> photos, videos, text limited extensions)

can't send a unknown extension type too
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Regrettably UI updates will have people who love them and people who hate them. With 5.0, I'm trying to get FX onto a more standardized Material Design UI. Please let me know what specifically is bothersome about the new UI compared to the old and I can try to be more accommodating. Simply reverting back isn't an option though.

The most significant change in the new UI is moving from three menus to two, i.e., moving general items (Settings/Help) into the slide out (as users modernly expect) and combining all remaining items into a single drop down (rather than having an "options" menu and an "overflow" menu). I think the new design is much cleaner and simplified, without "burying" any important options deep in menu hierarchies.

Removing the "options menu" allows the "Enter Selection Mode" (+) action to moved directly into the action bar, which I think is a major benefit. The "Select All" option is now available only in the overflow menu once a selection mode has been started (either by pressing the "+" or by swipe-selecting an item).

Showing "Active Tasks" and running operations in the slideout is, I believe, a very natural place for them. The drawer is now used for "overall status", i.e., what windows are open, what tasks are running, and what services are running. The old "Operations" screen wasn't particular well done.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
The reorganizing might be necessary, my issues with the UI are more visual.

Slide out:

Thick Coloured Bar with title. Ugly. I liked the way the old one pulled out away from the top, so the action bar of main window with title was seen taking out the need for putting title at pull out panel.

Spacing issues

Translucency. Dark translucent theme should have translucent slide out panel like before.

It might look better if the items were switched with windows and new window button at the bottom and close all at the bottom since long clicking it will exit app, I.E. Music player example:
[Android Apps and Games] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
My issues with the new UI are the tasks was moved and changed, the select all is changed, my bookmarks are gone, tasks no longer show the history, sdcard is no longer in the system with internal storage. I'm all for improvement of the UI but you cannot just change things we are used to using without any way to recreate them otherwise you leave us with no other options except to begin looking for the next product and since I've paid for premium license, I'd like to continue using FX.

---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

Why not just give us the option for a "classic theme" that has the same layout we are used to while still give the new UI to NEW users who wish to use it? That's what most developers do, namely next launcher, they introduced the whole 3D thing (which I hated) but retained the old theme as an option.

---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

It's the best of both worlds if you use that approach.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Select all does now require one more step: Tap the select button (the "+") next to the overflow menu. Then tap the overflow menu (now that you're in selection mode). Tap select all. Previously you could do it with two taps (tap options menu, then tap select all.

SD card should show up on the homescreen, if it doesn't that's a bug. What device/ROM are you using, and was/is it showing up in 4.0? Can you see it if you go to the "Filesystems" option on the homescreen (and if so, what is the path?)

Bookmarks should be unchanged from before. If SD card isn't being detected, bookmarks to locations within it would not be shown.

Active tasks are now shown in the drawer. Completed/failed tasks are shown there as well, with task history available by tapping on the "COMPLETE" and "FAILED" buttons if any are present.

Regrettably it's not practical to maintain/test two versions of a user interface in this case. I think most of the issues with SD card/bookmarks are due to an SD card detection problem...no functionality has been removed in FX 5.
[Android Apps and Games] calexchelse:
Just wanna say your FX file manager is the first thing I download after a fresh flash or when I get a new phone. I love all your new integrations, and want to make one simple observation, it is your app. Not mine. Yes I have paid for the upgrade. If you chose to make us pay again when it comes out of beta, will do it again. But it ultimately is your app.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
FX has been out of beta for a long time now.

the version on the play store is the release version, and any addons you purchase will continue working for all future versions.

the beta builds that are still being released are previews/tests for future updates that a few days/weeks from now will end up in the release version.

[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION] I think the way tasks are shown in the new UI is very inconvenient.

while a long-press to cancel an ongoing task is ok, it should be easier to clear completed tasks.

I don't need a long-term reminder that a file I wanted moved was successfully moved.

perhaps even skip the "completed" message, and only show tasks there that are in progress or have failed.

just a toast for completed tasks would be enough.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
No problems here with the UI changes, but I will concur with the post before mine at least regarding one thing, I don't really get why the long press to clear tasks is necessary, I've been wanting to ask about why is that, because it is annoying not being able to clear immediately finished tasks pressing just once the "X", same as it is with windows.

We're nitpicking here anyway... (ノ￣ー￣)ノ

FX 5.0.0.70 Released (Beta channel)

Bugfixes

Added support for adding OwnCloud via the "Cloud" catalog. The back end is still WebDAV based, so your OwnCloud server must have WebDAV enabled. This simply eliminates the need to deal with annoyances like entering "remote.php/webdav" in the "path" field.

"Connect to Storage" now adds an icon to the FX homescreen. You can remove the icon by long pressing it and tapping "Remove".

(not the file remains issue i reported before)

so tilebeck if i use websharing to send files directly to extSD card it creates a file in the internal and then moves them to the externalSD and yes this is the same case with websharing standalone app too

can't it directly to go into extSD card with using internalSD

is there anyway for that??

this is because i can't send files that are more that internalSD card free space

AirDroid can do that

just throw a file into extSD it won't touch internalSD but directly copies it to extSD only
[Android Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION] thx for ownCloud support.

Could you please do the same with Amazon?

Btw, I still have 2 Media Card listed here, one pointed to media_rw... using SM-N900 KK TouchWiz latest rooted.

And by archive selection means: when I open an archive using FX via other apps, it display the archive like a list with no means to select the file to extract.

Best Android File Manager

I used almost every Android file manager looking for an All-in-One Perfect solution for doing everything about file system... the only one that have all at same time is FX File Explorer (multiples windows, breadcrumb, can handle permissions, networks, etc)

I am using it on my LG G3 with latest Cyanogen 13 (Android 6.0.1).

Thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Marshmallow (CM13), trltespr (Sprint note 4). And no it does not appear as a system filesystem. The only way I am able to access my sdcard is to create the bookmarks but that doesn't give me the same options I need, like free space, mounting RW/etc.

It's fine I'll just refuse to update and keep the older versions.

[Android Apps and Games] cbsaba:
First, I'm a longtime user of this great program. It is by far the most functional file explorer/manager.

I'm using 5.0.7 , rooted, aosp marshmallow rom. I recently joined the beta program, so this might have already been reported. Yes, I have searched the thread and read most of the posts. Anyway, I have an external SD with "write access enabled". If I open the card using "media card" which points to path "/storage/7ce....-..../" If I select a file then select "cut" I receive an message "error: the item can not be cut because it is read only" If I select "delete" or "new file" the file is deleted or created. I can also paste copied files on the SD card.

If, instead, I access the card by opening system(root) then following to path " mnt/media_RW/7c...-..../" files can be created, cut(moved), etc after first acknowledging the root authorization warning.

My guess is that it is a permission mixup of some sort.
[Android Apps and Games] jamus28:
It doesn't seem like fx explorer is working correctly with marshmallow (cm13) permissions. I can't get it to work right with an external (portable) formatted sdcard. Even when I was using adopted storage, fx explorer couldn't find the internal storage or connect to it.

I hope this gets fixed soon. Fx has the best interface!

[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
they need to be rewritten, they don't take into account the new sdcard restrictions.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Create two text files but with .sh extension, copy the code contents into them, one is for backup, the other for restore. When you open one of these files with FX it will run it as a script, either for backup or restore.

Edit : as pointed above, depending on Android version, permission for writing files may or may not work. You can see the files that are being backed up in the code though, can always get them yourself manually.

The problem is with the Onedrive (Office 365 Business Essentials) account. When prompted to the log in page I keep getting the same message: "account does not exist". This is because the log in page is not the proper page for Office 365 Business.

[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION] Please bring back the old side-bar. There's no FAB like earlier version. I enabled experimental from development settings but that looks ugly. Its position is not correct like in v4. And also on clicking new window a FAB of copy appears for 1-2 sec. Please fix it. Also unusual space on left side with sidebar options. EVERYTHING else is great. The animations, the new icons. Also sdcard issue is fixed. :) Great work!

[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
It's perfectly aligned, what's the problem with it ?
[Android Apps and Games] mbc07:
Unnecessary padding. As I suggested before, moving the "X" buttons to the right would allow getting rid of that white space while still maintaining the items aligned...
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Fair enough, I'd agree with that.
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
There appears to be a massive amount of white space. Surely it can be much better utilised. Really does look... "odd"!

Other than that, I love FX. I try out a new File Explorer/Manager every so often and just keep coming back. Nothing else compares IMO. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] andy hall:
That could be a bug in a specific screen and rom setup, help the dev out and pass that info on.

Don't think it's a bug??

It's a custom ROM though with manually set DPI of 502. Nexus 6. See attached.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
It looks exactly the same at 640 dpi. How is a design decision you don't like a bug?
[Android Apps and Games] henrik.dk:
the side bar need to be more polished which looks so much like in alpha stage.

The space is reserved for close button and is handy for one hand operation to be on the left side. But it does look awful. Probably could add an action button like close current window above close all windows.

But from my perspective, better be simple.

e.g.: I never use the close all windows as you need to hold to wait FX to disappear suddenly.

FX 5.0.0.73 Released to Production

FX 5.0.0.73, originally a release candidate pushed to the beta channel, has been moved to production.

Major changes relative to FX 4.0.6.0:

Material Design user interface update.

Added "FX Connect", enabling file transfer between two devices using Wi-Fi Direct. NFC enabled devices can be connected by touching their backs together while FX is open. Shared clipboard features enables copy/paste between two devices. Sharing can be set-up to allow remote access to files (either a guest folder or full admin access) and/or music.

Added "FX Web Access", based on NextApp WebSharing. When active, a device's files and media may be browsed from a desktop computer. Files and folders may be uploaded from the computer via drag-and-drop. Web Access supports also supports directly browsing images and video. It also features a music player that can stream music from a device to the computer.

Added "Save As" activity to allow saving files locally when sharing them from any third-party app.

Improved performance and fixes of indexed local file search.

Improved access to MicroSD cards and USB devices ("Enable Write Access" and "Connect to Storage" features).

Added ability to mark arbitrary junk files as hidden.

[Android Apps and Games] UncleMike:
I have two devices running FX, and FX Connect was consistently failing to see the other device if I turned on FX Connect in File Sharing, or failing to connect using NFC.

What *was* appearing as an available device when turning on FX Connect in File Sharing was a WD TV LIVE unit on the network. Turning off the WD TV LIVE unit eliminated both issues.

If you'd like any additional information, let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Does turning the WDTV back on bring back the issue? I think this might be coincidence and there might be another problem (possibly a bug in FX itself, i.e. something not initializing correctly).
