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.

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.
