Hey guys. Some of you might know me from my z4root app - anyway, I had some free time this week and cooked up a new filemanager app. It uses a nice gesture based navigation system that I haven't seen used before.
I'm upping it here to XDA first to get some feedback. Check it out and see if you like it - let me know if there are any missing features you'd like!

Reasons to use this instead of other file managers (at least when all features are in!):
Full language support for: English, Dutch, German, French, Greek, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, Polish, Vietnamese
