[APP][2.2+] MiXplorer v6.x Released (fully-featured file manager)

IMO it would still be nice to have a graphic indicator that MiX is in that mode, perhaps not as intrusive as a bright orange border but maybe an icon in the location bar indicating advanced mode is invoked.

I would wish it to be really subtle (if at all), as I run in "danger mode" all the time (to be honest, I've lost track of what is meant by "that mode"). But it being subtle would be counter to the purpose. To me, its a file manager, its inherently dangerous. It would be like painting a gun bright purple with florescent yellow stripes; the user should know they are holding a weapon that could cause very serious damage. Just my opinion.

Fair enough and I won't engage the part of that which is at the irreconcilable hub of the debate but.. An icon up there in that empty space between the location and the menu and in the same color as the skin/theme, would be minimally intrusive, and unlike my suggestion for the bright orange boundary this icon would have been preceded by an atypical set of actions to put the app in developer or admin mode.

Or... how about something like this: Homer Simpson's "Everything Is Okay" alarm which blares high volume siren and a voice repeatedly shouting "everything is okay" as long as MiXplorer is in non super duper danger mode. :silly:

[EDIT] Disclaimer: although I still don't want this capability in the app, almost everything I've suggested since pitching my case for the core part of the debate has been in the (attempted) interest of the other point of view and those unhappy with the current method. I'd rather strengthen my case for the core, but won't. I just dont want folks to think I'm arguing for something I actually want here.

Or, simply upgrade, you're using an old version.

thx

In 6.47.2, the space used/free detail doesn't show on OTG drives anymore. Is that a bug or was intended?

This in itself is not really that helpful. Try adding a log, or at the least add the version of mixplorer you are using and the OSs version of your phone.

I'm continually coming up against inexplicable failures, for example while renaming files. Neither the toast nor the log helps in the slightest.

I've deliberately included a bunch of successful attempts, in order to illustrate how random this problem is. I'm in a directory [on one of my network drives] and I'm batch-renaming files. Sometimes it fails immediately, renaming 0 files; other times, some are renamed, then it fails; other times, if I choose only certain files [and the logic to this is a mystery], they'll proceed successfully.

The files are identical in every possible way, i.e., they're on the same computer, in the same subdirectory, their permissions are the same, they're being renamed the same [like "%N_some_stuff_070420"].

The thing that JUMPS out at me in the log, for the failures, is the DOS-style path delimiters, i.e., backslashes, when there's nothing but Linux in this house.

Is this a known bug? Is there a fix? Working with thousands of files and continually bumping up against this is a pain!

With 6.46, finally, one tap on delete button sent the objects to trash with no prompt. There was no risk.

Now with 6.47, the prompt came back. What a time waste. Just add an option in settings to let user choose what happens when one tap on delete:
- send to trash
- permanent (risky)
- prompt

Another option or information should precise the time an object stay in .recycle before permanent deletion. Is there one ?

You might be interested in the recent discussion about this in the last 5-10 thread pages. Some people feel there should be no option for a no-prompt-permanent-delete, and other people feel that there should be the option. For now it seems that the developer is avoiding the no confirmation permanent delete.

Since debating to simply change people's minds in toto is unlikely be productive people have been suggesting ideas to make the current method more tolerable to those who don't like it.

Also IIRC, we still have no example of another file manager on touch screen devices with the same capabilities as MiXplorer having a no-prompt-permanent-delete. For comparison, do you know of any?

@HootanParsa would you consider adding pinch-to-zoom to text editor as HTML Viewer?

StElsewhere · Jul 5, 2020

A few other FMs I've tried have a solution to the 'no-confirmation delete' issue that, while not being what I [and other power users] want, I could live with it in MiX. What they've done is let you delete without an über-annoying 'are you sure?!' prompt--but you must be using its recycle bin for this to work, and have its prompting turned off.

I can work around that if it's implemented in MiX; I'll simply automate a daily sweep of its recycle bin directories. So I'd get my silent deletions and, once my sweep occurs, the files would be permanently gone, without having to manually mess with a recycle bin.

This whole thing has struck me as incredible...really unbelievable. It's a feature, an option, not the end of the world.

The first thing I learned 35 years ago on UNIX was that delete means delete. So if you're about to issue an 'rm -rf' command on a directory, be well and truly sure you're in the right place and you really want those files gone--because there's no going back. I'd never heard of, or wanted, a silly 'recycle bin' until having to administer a few windows boxes at work. It struck me as an insult to the user's intelligence. Clearly, not everyone shares that feeling.

If this is such a big deal, maybe Hootan can put out two versions: one for extreme power users who neither want nor need any handholding, and one for everyone else. At first running [only] of the power-user version, display a disclaimer, like the attached screenshot, which the user must acknowledge. Problem solved.

This is a very important topic, and I think the developer is aware about that. I learned, that the developer always made the wisest decision, especially referring to important topics like this one. I appreciate anyway your feature request even if I am among those users that prefer to be careful when deleting files, and I have also some suggestions about handling deleting warnings, but better avoiding to create additional debates...
Finally I suggest you to ignore such comments or posts I find totally unfair... this happens often in this thread, sadly I would say

FAQ Update

Mod Edit: OT portion removed

-------
Getting back to business. Over the past several weeks there's finally been some worthwhile movement in the FAQ. In short: new material, reorganization, function-specific nuggets created or found and referenced from the OPs, while the OPs remain focus more on things new users would experience first such as the general UI and managing bookmarks. Still a work-in-progress. More details here:

Breaking out the Bluetooth question

Bluetooth Bookmark question:
Here is a question about Bluetooth bookmarks which came up while I was recently reviewing the FAQ. A few years ago I had configured a Bluetooth bookmark which allowed the management of files across the Bluetooth connection in the full MiX interface but have since forgotten how to configure it (how resolve the username and password). Does anyone know how to create a Bluetooth bookmark to access material on another device in the Mix file list (as opposed to selecting a file and sending via Bluetooth)? Thanks.

Unfortunately, no. I would have to live with this app behavior about file deletion no matter what I think about it. But I said it and other users did.

Move on. Other than that, I’m happy with MiX.

Rename of regex for add number does't work
also try to remove in rename "a" all "a" is gone
ex) regex name %N to remove "%A." then
removed full name of each of "%, A, ."

if file name is >> %A.appleapple.doc
remove to >> ppleppledoc

Guys, while discussions are good and are welcome, I see that they start to deteriorate after some time unless atleast one of the parties moves on. There is really no point in each one simply repeating his position in different words in answer to another's post endlessly.
Please move on.

Maybe the idea mentioned a while ago to add a rich text editor and let the text editor be, should be considered, because requests like yours keep adding up. The most recent one was to add working links. And neither will be the last for sure. I'm surprised adding embedded images has not been requested yet, seriously -- some are using the view mode ( already an extra in a text only editor ) as an e-reader of sorts.

A "text editor" really should be a text editor, no formatting, media / visual features, hypertext, etc. Or maybe add all these features and future ones to the heavier "code editor" already present ? Or at least stop calling it text editor ! ^_^ ( Don't kill me. )
　

SkyDX · Jul 7, 2020

First of all I want to say thanks for the great app, I use it all the time and it's the best File Explorer on Android by far. I have a suggestion for the SMB plugin though:

Windows 10 has a Administrative Network Share for each partition set by default that it needs for Remote Windows Sessions. These shares are denoted as C$, D$ etc. depending on how many partitions you have. They are inaccessible by normal means as it should be and normally also hidden, however MiX with the SMB plugin shows them along with regular Samba shares if accessing a Windows 10 PC.

Could MiX maybe get an option to hide these shares to reduce clutter?
