  1. 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.

  2. Update SMB protocol

    Is there any chance of updating the SMB implementation? My server logs indicate Solid Explorer is requesting NT LM 0.12, which was introduced in Windows XP. I'm lowering my security settings to allow a connection for now, but it would be lovely not to have to do that. :<

    Hello,

    The latest beta of Solid Explorer has support for SMB v2, which is going to replace the old SMB v1 client. For test purposes, the client is available as a separate item in the connection wizard. After the final release, it’s going to be integrated back into one SMB client.

    In order to join the beta, please visit this link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/pl.solidexplorer2

    Please note, that despite many tests, the new SMB client may still be unstable. Please use with caution. Any feedback will be very appreciated.

  3. Option to turn off image previews in the 'Folder Properties' view

    Please provide an option to turn off image previews in the Properties window.

    I opened Properties for my top-level storage folder, and it started displaying images I wouldn't want other people to accidentally see! (I won't go into more detail...)

  4. Attribute editing for mutliple files

    So currently you can hit properties on 1 file and update the permissions/attributes, but it would be nice if you can do it for multiple files. It only makes sense to allow bulk editing. I have to use the CM file manager to accomplish this currently.

  5. Tap hold to input a Variable -[Batch Rename improvement]

    I strongly propose a simple method of inputting the variables simply by tap and hold which would auto inject them into wherever the cursor is on the line.

    My reasons are:

    1.) Android system keyboard's often feature characters such as percent % and more in an keyboard extended menu, just like numeric text is in an extended keyboard menu. This makes the job of adding the Batch Rename variables extra longer and tedious

    2.) There are Batch Rename variables with the same letter but with different case size (upper case and lower case). This can be confusing to a first…

  6. Single column detailed list view on tablets

    One of the recent betas started to show folder contents in detailed list mode as two columns on my tablet. Such representation is inconvenient for me. Could you, please, add an option to force the list to be displayed as a single column?

    I know that this can be a huge waste of space on a big screen, but i prefer it that way. My brain is not good at performing such a two-dimensional scan :) .

  7. Open files without extension as txt

    Such as the behaviour of the old SolidExplorer. It would help very much with editing system files which have no extension.

    Currently if I open a file with no extension, it prompts me once for what type of file to open it as, and another time for the app to use. The first prompt could have an "always" option, so it doesn't ask again after I tell it "open as text always".

  8. Used and free space like in Windows

    Can you please improve displaying storage usage? It would be great to make it like in Windows: progressbar with % shows used space, but underneath it free space is showing.
    You can see in on screenshot (yellow color on right part is only just a highlighting).

  11. Numerical number of folder items - Please extend 'Show folder size' for this

    It would be just as nice if SE 2.0 would also display the number of items each folder contains.

    This feature is available in another Material Designed file manager named ' Amaze file manager ' - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amaze.filemanager&hl=en

    Image preview of Amaze displaying it: http://i.imgur.com/Gc2ZCnD.png

    For Solid Explorer 2.0, it should be integrated as part of the new 'Show folder size' feature....

    ....At first I thought that this item count could be displayed within brackets (**) but then after creating a UI mock-up I am now suggesting to the developer that it could display after a vertical bar which looks like…

  12. Reduce left side drawer width

    Left side menu needs to be reduced in width, it almost takes up all the screen for nothing. There's no data info that requires it to be so wide.
    Google play size is good enough ( I think).
    Opinion based on nexus 7 view.

  13. The 'Rename' should be on the toolbar for faster access

    I support moving the 'Rename' menu item from the overflow menu and place it on the toolbar next to the 'copy' and 'delete' buttons.

    Also this could open the future door to Solid Explorer's first 'Batch Renamer' function:

  14. 'New Cloud' button in the Remote Storage Manager view

    The button to add new cloud connection should be also in the Store Manager view. In my opinion it will be more intuitive.

  15. Physical back button should close FAB menu if open, not exit the app

    I couldn't make ss with that but the intuitive way to close FAB menu is to press physical back button. However after that I see info "Press again to exit".
