Looking at the API preview online, i get the impression that apps can browse whole directory threes. And also rename and delete via SAF. I don't see a way to do moves via the API, tho i guess a read and a write folloed by a delete will handle that. Nor do i see any way to manipulate directories themselves.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Looks like that could well be "better than nothing". Workflow to get to it will still be odd, and I'm uncertain how long it is persistent (hopefully forever). I will be suggesting that they provide a call to request access to a specific location.

Currently have this up only in an emulator so it's a pain to try, Nexus 5 in the mail (was waiting hoping there would be new Nexes).

How could one pay you for a license ( or several, for FX and/or any of your other applications ) without a Play Store account ?

Searched but couldn't find any relevant info, and I thought someone else might find the answer next time if I ask in the thread instead of sending a private message.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Currently no way to do it other than Play Store, hope to get everything on Amazon soon as well. PM me your e-mail address.

Attention ANDROID L (Android 5.0) preview users:

You must install busybox to use root access with FX. Use one of the popular "busybox" installer apps on Google Play. Then open FX settings, select "Root access settings", tap "Busybox Path" and change the path from "Use FX-Provided Busybox" to one of the either /system/xbin/busybox or /system/bin/busybox.

This issue will be corrected in a future release. FX does appear to work well so far with L, and does have the ability to modify /system.

[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION] is there anyway we can get Cut, Copy AND Delete in the action bar? Every time I want to delete something it's one extra step. Not a huge problem but it would be a lot more efficient if you didn't have to hit the menu each time. Perhaps just have the icons for Cut, Copy, Delete instead of the text as well?

Just a thought. :)

My search for a file explorer is finally over. After trying solid explorer, ES and many others, I installed this one earlier today, dicked around for a bit, and I'm absolutely sold. Terrific job. Congratulations to the dev. Just bought the pro unlocker.

I can't seem to set up Windows (SMB) connection; I was wondering if anyone can help me here. I don't know what to do. I have Win 7 and this would be splendid to transfer files. I have a homegroup, and I created a custom password on the PC. What do I do on fx now?
[Android Apps and Games] fcasoli:
I found a bug,

go to Images suite (Media section), select some pictures, copy and go to a different folder, try to paste.

You will receive the error message indicating you cannot paste clipboard in this folder.

The same procedure is possible, without error, in file manager section with the same list of items and folders.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
it's not the same folder.

if you're in media view you're actually viewing a media album that inherited the name of the folder it's based on.

it's actually possible for a file to be in a folder named "folder A" while it's in an album named "folder B" along with the other images that are in the folder named "folder B"

this is a little inconvenience caused by the way android handles its media database.
[Android Apps and Games] Szczepanik:
You do need to share a folder on your Win 7 PC. Connect to the IP address of the Win 7 PC.

Windows (SMB) connection is sometimes temperamental for me. Solution is usually reboot PC.

So, the original Samsung File manager, does not show the image album, really, but a real list, also inside images suite, because with this app I can manage images, copy, paste...

I don't know exactly how it works on your device, but on my phone(galaxy k zoom) the Samsung file manager's image view only shows a list of all images.

when copying from the gallery app it shows a list of folders instead of albums.

[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:

So I'm trying out the network portion of this app (I like that I can connect to my box account thru it instead of having to use another app) and when I try to share a file I uploaded (a link) it keeps giving me an error. How can I create a link to a file on my Box to share?
[Android Apps and Games] digiowl:
Hope for a update to L once it gets released. Seems Google has put some options into the SAF that may allow file managers to a degree. This by having the user pick a directory and thereby granting the app persistent RW access of its content (sub-directories included).
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Hello everyone,

I've just released a new app, the "Atlas Web Browser" which features Material Design and the ability to use AdBlockPlus/Easylist content filters.

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-atlas-web-browser-ad-privacy-t2827657

[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before, but changing permissions on system files ( which I do a few dozen times a day ) must be done one by one. It'd save a lot of time to be able to do so on a batch, all at once.

[Android Apps and Games] Magissia:
Could be nice to be able to apply them recursivly, too.

[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
that's very dangerous.

I once used a script that should've been safe to fix the permissions of the entire /data/data folder contents of a web browser(transferring data from the stable version to a beta)

this was a recursive batch job, but somehow this threw android in a bootloop.

the script was made so it wouldn't touch any file outside the browser's data folder, but somehow it still damaged system files.
[Android Apps and Games] Magissia:
Yes this is dangerous, but you should not use root if you don't know what you are doing anyway. Fx always warn clearly if you are about to do something that may be potentially foolish, it should be okay.

[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Not possible in 3.x releases, but I definitely need to bring this back.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Recursive ownership/permissions changing is still lingering on the TODO list. And yes it (the effect) is very dangerous, so I want to get it right.

I need to provide options to adjust folders and files separately, and to allow a "NO CHANGE" default option in every case. It'd be nice to be able to for instance say "make all files and folders in this hierarchy read-only for 'others', make all directories executable and all files non-executable".
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Are we on XDA? Has it been more than four days since a developer last posted? Then yes, project completely and permanently dead, no one will ever work on it again, run away!

This is just a screenshot from development, this is NOT final / NOT finished, even for the upcoming beta, but gives a ROUGH idea of the path I'm headed. The "indigo" colored accents are based on the trim color (the trim color setting will include all the Material Design Colors of course).

[Android Apps and Games] Cozmos23:
I'm experiencing some strange behavior on CM11 jflte but it can also be Superuser related.

When trying to access System with Root Addon on FX I cannot remount subfolders of System to rw until I open the folder with the CM integrated File Manager. F.e. /bin or /system or /data.

Tried to check the FX Log but there was no error since the error-message was something like "This cannot be done"

Also sometimes when transferring files the estimated time and actual speed freezes or doesn't show up and stays at "Calculating" until the process finishes.

The files get copyied anyway so no big deal.

WARNING

Warning, FX file explorer pushes two unwanted apps called 1Mobile market(which has backdoor and malware apps) , and fx text editor.

I removed the 1mobile market, and when I removed FX text editor, it removed the File explorer too.

He is pushing. Be aware.

thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
FX Text Editor has always been a part of FX. It's been there since the beginning (along with an option to enable/disable the launcher shortcut). I can only assume you installed 1Mobile Market yourself, via ads (which are quite common) or via another app. FX doesn't even have the required permissions to download files without showing a notification, and can't install apps without you pressing the install button (unless it's got root permissions).

With all due respect, please check your facts before throwing wild accusations around, and at least provide some proof when you do.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
NO.

Did your copy of FX automatically include networking/cloud/media features (not a free trial, but unlimited?)

Some pirated copies of FX contain all sorts of malware and crap. Others have only been trivially modified to bypass the license key check.

The text editor is not a separate APK, it's a launcher shortcut to FX's text editor. You can remove it via Settings->FX Text Edit->Launcher Shortcut (uncheck it).

If you granted root access to a pirated version of FX:

If you downloaded a pirated copy of FX and gave it root access, I'd recommend you REFLASH your phone. As in not just reset it/delete user data, but REFLASH every single partition of that phone from a stock image. You have absolutely no idea what it did, and it could have done ANYTHING. Also change all passwords you entered into your phone after the time you installed the pirated app that you gave root access to.

This is somewhat overkill, but it's the only way to be safe. And even if your pirated APK of FX is one of the safe/non-malware ones, *something* on your phone put that 1mobilemarket app on it, and that "something" is in control of your phone. So listen to Sigourney Weaver's advice.

[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
+1 for no backup as well.

There is titanium for that - specifically built for backing up app/data. Definitely keep this on track as a File Explorer/Manager. It is really nice so far - don't bloat it out with unnecessary stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
FX currently has much of this capability, but it's built as an add-on to the Bluetooth push file transfer feature. Open the Bluetooth catalog, make sure Bluetooth is on (just tap the "Bluetooth" switch on the screen if necessary) and then enable the "Wi-Fi Accelerator". If two devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, with the receiving device having the "Wi-Fi Accelerator" running, the transfer will take place over Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth. Bluetooth will still be used for the negotiation/authorization of the connection, but the actual data will be transmitted using Wi-Fi.

Note that if you only see transfers in the 80-120 kb/second range it's not working, the FX Bluetooth push system will run that fast (some apps out there seem to only do 30kb/second). The Wi-Fi Accelerator regrettably will only do 300-500kb/second at the moment. I'm uncertain if this is the maximum throughput of a phone-to-phone WiFi connection (or hopefully that there is a performance bug in the Wi-Fi accelerator code).

FX will likely support the WebDAV protocol at some point in the future as well, though probably post-1.0.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Our SystemPanel app currently does this as well (non-root). FX will of course allow you to manually back up APKs with the soon-to-be available root module.
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Also for nonrooted?

.......

Android blog: blackbearblanc.dk
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
FX will require the root module to this, SystemPanel does not.

The reason FX will require root to do this is that you cannot retrieve a directory listing of the /data/app directory as a normal "application" user. This is the directory where user-installed APKs are stored. The individual APK files can be copied, but only if you know their exact names.

That is, as a normal user, you will get "permission denied" if you enter the following in a shell:

ls /data/app

But if you do this:

cp /data/app/nextapp.fx-2.apk /sdcard

It will work. In SystemPanel we retrieve installed package information from the Android PackageManager API, so we know exactly where the packages are located and do not use root.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks, skip option has been added as well, that was a work-in-progress screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Thanks. But can't this be implemented? Like in Astro?

.......

Android blog: blackbearblanc.dk
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
It can certainly be implemented, but it would have to be as a purpose built app-management module.
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Last question, bit off topic. Just bought the other app. Will it get batch selection for the app backup part.?

.......

Android blog: blackbearblanc.dk
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
In SystemPanel, if you hit the menu key on the the list-of-apps screen you can press "Archive All", and it will update all backups. It doesn't have multi-select capability yet, still need to "backport" a lot of the new UI features of FX into the other products once FX is out.

[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks everyone!

The root module is a major area of attention at the moment. There's an awful lot of work in order to do root *well*. One of the major concerns is that people will be mostly using this as a day-to-day file manager, so the root stuff needs to not make that potentially dangerous.

One thing I'm thinking of doing is (optionally-but-by-default) requiring keyring access to do any root-based operations. This won't be in any way secure (resetting the app's data/cache would walk around it), but it will prevent accidental use of root (especially by generally good-intentioned people other than the phone's owner). This would be the same keyring that is used to encrypt network passwords for SMB/SFTP/FTP bookmarks.

And just for the heck of it, here's a screenshot of the new Filesystem manager that's going into the "Tools" menu. This will even be available in the free version, though its "raison d'être" is for the root module which will enable remounting features.

Once root is fully working and internally tested, I'll likely do a beta root module which will be downloadable via a link. Initially will be looking only for people who can use it on their second phone and are capable of low-level reflashing. Not that I hope anyone has to do that, but there are few things that can inflict more damage to your Android installation than a file manager with root access.
