  2. Unable to copy from Downloads to root because view switches

    I want to copy a file from my /storage/emulated/0/Download folder to /system/etc but can't because even when I go to my root folder and then go to the Download folder SE switches to the "Internal storage" view. I selected and copy my file to the clipboard but can't go back to the root folder. I can't use the hamburger menu und using the back button wants to quit the program.

    I was told this would be a good replacement for ES but the design is clearly flawed.

  3. Renaming a file leaves a copy of the file with the older name too

    I'm on Android v6.0, Solid Explorer 2.2.7 170311.P.1.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1) Have a file in internal or external storage, say abc.mp3.
    2) Use Solid Explorer to rename abc.mp3 to def.mp3. Upon successful renaming, note that abc.mp3 is no longer listed, as expected.
    3) Connect phone to (Windows) PC using USB (MTP). Navigate to where def.mp3 is stored.

    Expected results: abc.mp3 doesn't exist.

    Actual results: abc.mp3 exists.

    I can reproduce this every time. MiXplorer doesn't seem to have this problem.

  4. Problem playing local video files via VLC player

    Solid Explorer cannot play most video files via VLC player if they are stored locally on device storage. The same files play without error (through Solid Explorer, via VLC) when streamed over the network. They also play from local storage without issue directly from VLC player or through Solid Explorer using a selection of other player apps.

  5. when saving an SFTP connection, hitting the "finish" button doesn't save, continually asks for password to encrypt

    After going through the cloud connection wizard for an sftp connection (successfully), as a last step SolidExplorer requires the connection information to be encrypted, and asks for either a fingerprint or a password for your google account. After successfully authenticating with either, the same page stays up, with the big green box with the checkmark, and the "Previous" and "Finish" buttons. Clicking the "Finish" button again only brings up the authentication window again.

  6. A problem occurred with Network communication

    I have a Librelec media player, set up with Samba. It does not require authentication. When I try to connect to it I keep getting a message 'Network communication error'.

    The bummer is that ES file explorer connects to it in seconds, no problem.

    I had installed ES file explorer in favour of Solid explorer, but had to download it again for this problem!

    Please fix this!

  7. Image file icons stop displaying image thumbnail when modifying folder contents

    When opening Solid Explorer initially, image thumbnails display correctly for all images in whichever folder I happen to be viewing. When copying\deleting files within that folder, some, sometimes all, of the image file thumbnails will stop displaying and only show the generic thumbnail. I have to close the app and relaunch it to correct the issue.

  8. Can't browse folders anymore after updating Chrome OS to v 72/Android 9

    I can't browse folders any longer after updating to Chrome OS 72.0.3626.97 and Android 9 on my Pixelbook.
    When I click on a folder with the trackpad it selects the folder instead of open it! (Doing a Long Press) But when I click the folder with touchpad it works fine!

  10. Connected to Windows Desktop; Bought App; No Longer Works

    I bought the full Solid Explorer app after testing it with our network yesterday and it worked fine. Today, I can't connect it to the LAN network anymore. The error message says "A problem occurred with network communication. Please make sure you're connected to the internet and try again." Both the tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 and Windows 7 desktop computer) are connected to the internet on the same network.

    Please let me know how I can fix this issue. This feature is the only reason I downloaded and paid for the app and Google won't refund the purchase even…

  11. Editing Cloud connections doesn't work

    Updating cloud connections doesn't work.
    Steps:
    1 create a valid dropbox or Google Drive connections.
    2 go to connection manager
    3 choose a overflow button and choose edit
    4 press next, press connect, see that the connection fails.

    Because this fails, it's not possible to change the name of the connection or do anything else without logging out and in again.

  14. Bottom context toolbar auto-hide and empty folders

    When the bottom context toolbar is auto-hidden while copying/moving files to an empty folder, it stays hidden forcing me to navigate to the previous folder and scroll up to make the toolbar show and go back to the empty folder to be able to access the copy/cut buttons.

  16. Please add a recycle bin feature like es file Explorer. Lost some huge files today because of this feature missing.

    Today i lost a 10gb folder while deleting a .rar file, solid explorer accidentally deleted the entire folder. I was not able to recover my data as i m not rooted. If thr had been a recycle bin option like es file Explorer i would have saved my data. This was a really sad day for me as i lost a lot of stuff. So please add recycle bin it's my humble request. Thank you.

  17. Left panel show by default when opening app

    Is this functionality already there?
    When I launch SE, it goes to the last "page" i was on when closing the app. I want, instead, to have the left panel display by default, showing my bookmarks etc. .... There are various versions of this request that have other elements and ideas attached to this request. But this is simple: open app > left panel displays

  19. Does read SD card, but can't write.

    Tested on Mi A1, it can read SD card, it shows in the side bar, but every time I do copy, cut or something in SD, files become 0B. Files will be normal after a reboot, but it's totally annoying that I can't access my files in instant.

  20. Moving files, visual problems

    When I move a file eg from Internal storage to SD card, unless I refresh the folder for it to show accurately (after operation is done). Meaning it sometimes shows incorrect size of the file etc. Hard for me to explain, but it isn't a 'clean' cut and paste.
