See which app created directory
Many apps create files on the internal storage. Often finding out which app is making these files is not obvious. For example, if a folder called cache appears, it would be great if under its properties I can see what app created that folder.
This feature will be available in the next update. However, SE will display app icons only with known folders. It means that the list needs to be updated from time to time. If you notice a folder with no app icon, let me know about that.

That’s a really useful explanation for tracking app activity on your device. If anyone needs more details on property ownership and records, the Property information online at https://polkcountypropertyappraisers.org tool can be really helpful for quickly finding updated data. It makes researching and comparing information much easier, especially for specific parcels or historical records. I think combining these kinds of tools really simplifies what used to be a tedious process.

Es interesante ver cómo algunas aplicaciones pueden identificar el origen de un directorio con facilidad. Para quienes necesitan herramientas confiables para sus estudios, recomiendo usar https://calculadora-de-notas.cl ya que facilita el seguimiento y cálculo de resultados de manera rápida y precisa. Definitivamente ahorra tiempo y ayuda a mantener todo organizado.

That’s a really helpful feature, especially when trying to keep internal storage organized and understand which apps are generating extra files. Being able to quickly identify the source of unknown folders saves a lot of time troubleshooting. I’ve seen similar transparency improvements discussed in public record systems like Sedgwick Court Records at https://sedgwickcountycourt.us, where clear source identification makes information much easier to manage. Looking forward to seeing how this update continues to improve file visibility and control.

This guide is really helpful for understanding different tools. I was especially interested in how it organizes information efficiently, and I found the https://massachusettscourtrecords.org a great resource to quickly check court listings and relevant details. It makes navigating the legal system much easier for anyone needing official records. Definitely a useful reference for both beginners and experienced users alike.

What about giving us the option to set app icon for folders beside your known apps!
It's present on Es explorer as associate apps and on MiXplorer as putting an icon inside the folder.

In some cases there could be a TEXTRA folder in internal storage, the same level like the download folder, DCIM folder... . There is no icon.

That's unbelievable how many apps store their data in a wrong way. You should really ping the developers to clean that mess.
