Describe the bug

When sharing a single file that isn't a directory from any app, the file manager can be selected as destination to save the file in shared storage. However, both the file name and extension are lost when saving the file. The loss of the file extension in particular means that other programs (i.e. those that only have permissions for media files) won't be able to discover/open the file.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to any app that allows sharing a single file. The file manager itself will do. Open the share dialog.
2. Look for the destination titled "File Manager", subtitle "Save..." and click on it.
3. Select a directory to save the file at.
4. In file manager, navigate to that directory. The file will be titled something like "1000019000" now. It will not have a file extension.

Expected behavior

Ideally, the file would keep its name and extension.

If the sharing API simply does not provide this info, file extensions can be "guessed" using a file format's magic number. This should be implemented for common file formats like zip, pdf, png, jpg, webp, gif, mp3, mp4, ogg.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No, isn't. This is more related to a convenience problem because some of the file managers that I used to use usually come with this feature, and it's really useful In my opinion.

Describe the solution you'd like
Just like others file managers, you have two panels which you can switch between sliding your finger right or left.

Describe alternatives you've considered
This is just a convenience problem, this can save me sometime doing things like pasting files into another directory, but I can do it manually anyway.

Why do you want this feature?

Sometimes I will exchange date between my 1&1 free Cloud via https://user:[email protected]/. According my knowladge this should also work with Nextcloud as well.

Describe the bug
Hello !
This bug is such a restrictive problem that it prevents me from using the app at this time. It appeared in Simple File Manager v6.16.1 and forced me to downgrade the app to v6.16.0, which I still use currently. I waited a little before publishing this bug report because I wanted to do a number of tests beforehand.

The problem is that if you open the app and take any file or folder, renaming it (or changing its extension) should be instantaneous, but a very long time elapses between the time you press "OK" and the time the pop-up window closes (on average between 20 and 30 seconds according to my observations).

Here's everything I know about this bug :

• The bug occurs on all types of files
• Internal and external storage (SD card) are affected
• The bug seems to occur regardless of the file path (e.g. the number of folders in which the file is located)
• The total number of files/folders in the directory where you are trying to rename a file also does not seem to have any influence
• If you open the app, rename a file and wait for the window to disappear, if you try to rename the same file or a file in the same directory again, the bug does not occur (until you close the app). If you go to another directory, the bug occurs again.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the app
2. Select a random file
3. Try to rename it

Expected behavior
Renaming a file should not take so much time, the action should be instantaneous.

Way to get around the problem:
If someone encounters this problem, here is a tactic I found to reduce the waiting time before the window disappears:

• Rename the file as you want
• Press "OK"
• Then press "Cancel"
• Press the back arrow to unselect the file
• Refresh the folder by making a vertical gesture from the top of the screen: the file will normally have been renamed correctly

Device info (please complete the following information):

• Model: Samsung A54
• OS: Android 12 AOSP / Android 13 / Android 14
• App version: Simple File Manager v6.16.1 and Fossify File Manager v1.0.0

Additional context
During my tests, one of my (unimportant) files was simply deleted from the SD card. I initially believed in a handling error on my part, but @gbdomubpkm, who was the first to report this bug (see SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager#757) also noticed the unexpected deletion of one of the files he was trying to rename.

Feature description

I would like the option to have folders showing when they were last modified. I see I can do it for files itself but no folders.

Why do you want this feature?

If I am sorting something out in a directory, I need to know what was last modified and not.

This is extremely useful to see modified folders within a directory folder too if you have a podcast downloaded and trying to rename the files. That way you know which ones you renamed and which you didn't yet.

Here is an example from the app Cx File Explorer and this one showing the difference:

Feature description

I want better contrast between the selected main icon and the rest of the app on dark mode with any chosen color.

Why do you want this feature?

When using dark mode and changing the base color of the app (green) to another one (for example purple) the contrast between the current selected icon and its text and the background isn't very good. See attachment to understand what I am talking about.

This can be problematic as the text and the icon are hardly distinguishable from the background.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Go to the Storage Analysis tab
2. Tap on the arrow to display the files types categories of the storage (internal or SD card)
3. Open one of the categories (e.g. videos). The "sort by" icon is visible at the top of the screen [screenshot 1]. By tapping on the three dots, two items are shown [screenshot 2].
4. Tap on the search bar
5. While the cursor is in the search bar, tap on the three dots : now the "sort by" function is shown with the 2 previous items [screenshot 3].
6. Tap anywhere on the screen
7. Tap on the back arrow to stop using the search bar [screenshot 4].

Expected behavior

The "sort by" icon should remain visible.

Actual behavior

The "sort by" icon disappears and the corresponding item is no longer shown by tapping on the three dots.

Closing the tab which is in use (Videos in my example) fixes the problem. Otherwise, the "sort by" function is still usable by tapping on the search bar and then on the three dots, but this does not make the icon reappear.

For the icon to appear again, you must press on the three dots (normally there are just 2 items). Then tap anywhere on the screen, then on the search bar and finally on the back arrow : the "sort by" icon is now visible again.

• I have read and understood the contribution guidelines.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My request is not directly related to a problem.

Describe the solution you'd like

Primarily
I would like to bring over or have a similar implementation of excluded folders as seen implemented in Fossify Gallery primarily (with hidden folders being a nice but optional bonus).
That being the exclusion/hiding of a folder's contents and the recursive hiding/exclusion of any subfolders from the app's view.
Hiding would have the same ability to use a PIN or drag-code to lock the hidden folders until the pin/code is entered, (basically identical functionality to that of Gallery).
Excluded folders would simply be toggled to be visible in much the same way they behave in Fossify Gallery.

Secondarily
Outside of the functionality that exists in Gallery, I have some more detailed specifics to reflect the change in context and the different role that the File Manager app plays.
I would like to see the hide functionality remove any contents of a folder and it's subfolders (+ their contents etc) being hidden from the "Recents" and "Storage" parts of the interface (storage analysis of those files might be still done but be shown as a different category or even a hidden category that is visible only when show hidden items is enabled). Overall I just would like any hidden folders to be automatically excluded from "Recents" and "Storage" by default and how/if you can return the ability to see hidden folders and their contents to those sections is not as important as their exclusion from both parts of the interface.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative is to simply treat hidden folders and all of their contents down to a base level as exempt from the "Recents" and "Storage" tab. This would be the simplest functionality that would meet my desires for baseline functionality.

Additional context
It's been great using these new fully FOSS apps and I always saw the potential in File Manager. Hopefully this request is a simple and easy win to implement but as nothing in this world is so simple I'm sure it won't be that brief of a implementation.
It's a busy time for the core maintainers and contributors right now I'm sure, so thanks for considering my request.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Select a folder which contains multiple folders inside and click on compress.
2. Add password.
3. Wait for finishing compression.
4. Open newly compressed .zip file.

Expected behavior

Content inside the compressed zip file should be exactly the same as the folder which was selected (and whatever it contains inside).

Actual behavior

When compressed zip file is opened, it shows all the folders along with their duplicates, other than folders almost everything is as expected.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

Additional information

It also takes long time to open a password protected compressed zip file, irrespective of its size.

If the password is not added while compressing, it has no such issue.

Feature description

I really like the simplicity of the File Manager, but i miss seeing the thumbnail in some type of files like audio (.mp3, .wav, .m4a, .flac, etc., see Photo 1) that have Cover/Artist/Album image and some .webp (specifically in animated stickers, see Photo 3; with these files at least be able to see a static image to recognize the sticker).

Photo 1 (all these have Cover/Artist/Album image but doesn't appear)

Photo 2 (To verify all those have Cover/Artist/Album image, i used Fossify Music Player)

Photo 3

Why do you want this feature?

I'm always moving, copying and deleting files with File Manager, and is really helpul when you see the thumbnail when selecting multiple files (types mentioned above).
PS: I really appreciate your work with this tools, i use many of them :)

Steps to reproduce the bug

The Chromecast is mounted in a multihub adapter together with a USB flash drive.

I'm trying to copy files from one the "Internal" drive to the "USB drive"

It would be useful for people to have support for it, so they can install apks from Simple File Manager when really needed, instead of having to use Google Play in Chromecast.

For example, RetroArch (which turns Chromecast into a microconsole) is severely outdated in Google Play.

Expected behavior

It should be possible to copy files from one storage device to another like in Android.

Actual behavior

It's not possible to copy files from one storage device to another like in Android.

Affected app version

1.0.1

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 10 (EMUI 12.0.0)

Affected device model

Huawei P20 Pro

How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Go to file manager
2. Open folder on internal storage (here: "Sync")
3. Navigate to subfolder (here "Backup Einstellungen")
4. Multiple sub-subfolders (e.g. "Calibre") does not appear as folder but is shown as a file (see attached image)

Expected behavior

Folders are correctly recognized and are displayed accordingly. Folders can be accessed via Fossify File Manager.

Actual behavior

Multiple, but not all folders within the same directory are displayed as files and cannot be accessed.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

Additional information

1. All affected folders have a shown "file" size of 3.4 KB
2. They cannot be accessed from Fossify File Manager
3. Stock file manager of OS shows them correctly (see second image); content is accessible
4. Renaming of affected folders (or parent folder) solves the issue
5. Moving to a different location (e.g. new folder within same directory) also solves the issue
6. Potentially relevant: Directory and all subfolders are synced between phone and PC via Syncthing.
7. Whether the same issue was already present in Simple File Manager is unknown

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have lots of duplicate files on my phone.

Describe the solution you'd like
Option to delete duplicate files. But it would be also great to show list of them before deleting. So you dont loose something, if there is bug.

Hi, when do you plan to do the first build. I want to deinstall simple tools ASAP. Thanks for indicating a time line

Affected app version

1.0.0

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 13

How did you install the app?

F-Droid

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Connect a USB device to your phone via the USB-C port.
2. In the app, navigate to the root folder of the USB device. File manager will prompt you for storage access rights for that directory.
3. Grant the access rights.
4. Disconnect the USB device.
5. Connect a different USB device and navigate to its root folder.
6. File manager will display an empty directory, despite the USB device containing files. This is not an issue with the USB device. Android's default file manager manages to correctly display the files. Also, I was able to reproduce this with the order of USB devices reversed. The one for which the permission was granted continues to work, while the other one is always displayed as empty.

Expected behavior

Either display the contents of the USB device correctly, or recognize that permissions are missing and request them.

Actual behavior

The USB device for which the access rights were granted will have its contents displayed, while other devices appear as empty and do not prompt for access permissions.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

Additional information

• I think the storage access framework recognizes the USB devices as distinct storage locations despite being mounted and accessed through the same path.
• Fossify Gallery 1.1.1 is also affected by this bug.
• Could be related to #9.

Affected app version

1.0.0

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 7.1.2 / LineageOS-14.1

Affected device model

Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100

How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug

• Open the application and make sure that the internal memory and SD card are displayed correctly in the "Storage" tab.
• Format the SD card as internal memory in the device settings.
• Open the application again.
  *You will see that the SD card is no longer visible (which is good), but the storage capacity is not increasing.

Expected behavior

It is necessary to display NOT the amount of internal memory, but the total memory (Device memory + SD card) For example, if your device memory is 16GB and the SD card is 128GB, then the application should display ≈ 131GB.

Actual behavior

The application does not display the total volume of Device memory + SD card.

Affected app version

1.0.1

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android Oreo (8.0)

Affected device model

Xperia XZ

How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug

Try to save a file from another application that let you select the location for the file by calling another application.
In my case, it was OTP applications.

Select a location on the SD card

Try to save: it'll fail (reproduced with three different applications), I didn't extracted adb logcat logs but one of them did show more details from within the application: it was permissions related

Expected behavior

It should save with no error.

Actual behavior

It fails with an error.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

Additional information

Note that save doesn't fail if I select internal memory, and save to SD card doesn't fail if instead of Fossify's File Manager I pick the preinstalled ROM's file manager.

As you can see the file manager will not allow me too write anything in the description plus everything is in a shadow you can't tap on anything, I'm going to uninstall it again

Feature description

I would like to have support of all main compressing filetypes

• .zip
• .rar
• .7z
• .bzip
• .tar
• .tar.gz

Why do you want this feature?

so I can decompress everything I come across
7z, winrar is faster than zip, but zip is more common, so lets user choose

Additional information

fixed version of #31 with more filetypes
from SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager#93
If you have more ideas to what filetypes should be also supported write them bellow :)

Affected app version

1.0.1

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android Oreo (8.0)

Affected device model

Xperia XZ

How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug

Install the application for the first time on a device and run it.

Expected behavior

It should just request storage permission as it's needed for the application to operate. Nothing triggering this exception should be done if it doesn't have the requested permission.
That aside, does it even make sense for a file manager to allow the user to interact with it before providing the needed permission? It doesn't seems like a file manager can have any use if it can't access storage, does it?

Actual behavior

Application triggers an exception in a popup related to the storage permission, even on the first time the application is launched and before the user could do anything to give the application the requested permission. See screenshot below.

Note that as I wanted to reproduce the issue for the screenshot, rather than uninstalling the application to reinstall it, I just wiped data and removed storage permission but it didn't act as the first launch curiously: it didn't request the storage permission again.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

Hi,

Just pointing out that on your fork the latest version is 6.12.3 from May 18, 2022 when the latest version of file manager is version 6.16.1 from September 19, 2023

Are you going to start from 6.12.3 or was this a mistake?

Thank you

Describe the bug
When tapping-and-holding the first item in the recent list, in addition to the app correctly going into multi-select mode, a refresh indicator also appears as though I had pulled down from the top to refresh.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the Recents tab.
2. Tap-and-hold on the first item in the list.
3. Notice that the refresh indicator appears.

Expected behavior
The refresh indicator does not appear.

Hello.
First, i use this feature template because i don't see no template.

Is it normal that i can't read pdf with Fossify File Manager ? No pdf reader inside your fork ?
Regards

I have gone through the checklist.

Affected app version

1.0.0

Also happens with SimpleMobileTools File Manager 6.15.4 and 6.16.1 (I don't have access to older versions to test).

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 9

Affected device model

Android-x86 VM
Also a physical device

How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug

Open a text file in the File Editor and search for some text that is offscreen.

Expected behavior

The view should scroll down to reveal the match.

Actual behavior

The view scrolls down, but not enough. I need to manually scroll down a bit more to see the match.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

See comment

Additional information

The same issue happens when pressing ">" to go to the next match.

The issue happens both when the soft keyboard is displaying and when it isn't.

On one device, when the keyboard is hidden, the bottom bar with the back/home/recent keys is translucent and the match can be seen (barely) behind the bottom bar.

Additionally, sometimes when the soft keyboard is visible and I press ">", the app somehow manages to scroll the top UI elements (file name, buttons, search field) up and out of view. Doesn't always happen though.

Feature description

A one-to-many correspondence, possible to combine and exclude when filtering, for all inodes (files and directories primarily, although I've no qualms if it happens to introduce the ability to manage them for symbolic links too, for instance). Relevantly, https://apps.kde.org/en-gb/dolphin/, a file manager, manages tags for inodes using https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Extended_attributes#File_systems.

Why do you want this feature?

Hierarchical directories are not adequate for complex file organization, because they fill the purpose of separation rather than organization - that is, files with identical names but which serve different purposes should be hierarchically separated, but in all other instances tags serve the purpose of organization significantly better.
