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

[IronTechmonkey]

I do not know SD Maid, never user it

I don't necessarily disagree with your overall point but if we are going to make the case that MiX should be able to do a particular function then we should compare it to an app that is well-known for performing that particular function. SD Maid is arguably one of the best for that particular purpose. Any app considering adding a storage analyzer should compare to SD Maid and other apps that do the same thing.

but i remember that Hootan some years ago had started to improve a feature for Storage Analyzer (Do not remember well the name he gave) and then he abandoned and the feature option was hidden (Only option label was available by long press address bar)...

I remember that as well. It was very nice looking but it performed inconsistently across different devices and drives, in some cases having inaccurate or missing results.

I do not think that should be a size or footprint reason that must be considered if we are speaking about Mixplorer...
Instead the question is: is that feature worth to be improved or not?

One of MiXplorer's most valued aspects is its small resource footprint. To those people who value or require small resource footprint the question becomes "is the potential gain worth the expenditure of resources required to achieve it".

Storage analyzer is something that most file managers have (more or less improved) and for me is something that is missing in Mix... Yes, it was an old discussion but I will be very happy to have something similar also in Mix.

+1... if it does not increase the resource footprint... and if it can actually do what the specialist apps to which it is being compared can do.

SD Maid do that

Breadcrumb.

Actually the Mix has part of this feature Tools/App Remnants. I dont know sd maid but would be nice to anlayze even root folders

It does, better, it feature a proprietary database to enhance the capture of the remnants. As they say: do less things but do it well. Mix is a powerful FILE MANAGER, I really don't want it become a Es File Explorer wannabe.
Edit: now I read clean remnants in root folders? Don't think it does, but don't think it needed. Android even system apps stores data in data partition, system contains mostly apk and some library, generally close one each other.

Sure i agree mix the most powerfull. I used in windows treesize.. I dont want it to become Es File Explorer a totally ruined app. But i consider that as file manager it should have a way to analyze a folder. FX explorer also have this. But none is powerful enough as mix

When you add IDrive bookmark, there is 'private_key' option in the Advanced settings.

I entered the private encryption key in private_key section but it not work and still said username or password incorrect.
When I enter it on web then it works.

Hi, a minor issue with 6.51.7-Silver B21020782

It looks like the advanced find dialog inconsistently remembers different settings when I enter it the second time after the search. What I noticed:
1. Dates are never remembered.
2. Sizes (it seems) are not remembered when the "contains" field is empty
3. Sizes are always translated into KiB. I can live with that, but it is much harder to adjust the search parameters when I make changes incrementally depending on the results.

I attached the screenshots for the 1 and 3, so the one is made right before I clicked Go and the second one when I entered the dialog the second time. I still have some doubts about symptoms of 2.

@HootanParsa
Hootan please could you check those tiny issues in latest beta Version: 6.52.0-BETA B21022420 :
1. After installing, it does not show breadcrumb (changelog says enabled breadcrumb by default) I am on android 8.0

2. Home default bookmark now does not show mounted ExtSdCard (You have to add it manually) I remember silver build auto add ExtSdCard in home if it is mounted or am I wrong?

 

[Hitti2]

Good question. This may have been possible at one time (if I'm remembering correctly) but there seems to be no way to to disable swipe to switch tabs at the moment.

Well, if you are going to open yourself up like that, it's 100% you.

But seriously, for a moment I'll pretend that was a reasonably expressed concern: I've seen no regression in functionality or performance of MiX even as I'm using it on more devices spanning a wider range of Android versions and ROM variants. If you were just being hard on yourself in good fun, well then touche, but few would see that as a joke. There is a description of the undo feature in the FAQ and there was significant discussion, even a debate, about how it should be configured - all of which would be recommended reading in your case.

Hi HP, in "Stable" RC6, internal storage icon is fixed but now the external SD card is represented by a favorite icon. Minor glitch.

@HootanParsa
What do you think of this? Yes, No, Maybe?
Thanks

Although not MiX specific, your language implies you have this same issue with other apps outside of MiX. I know in a lot of ROMs I have used, they have adjustments for touch sensitivity or such. Maybe checking your device settings or on a device specific thread or a targetted web search, you may find a method to reduce its propensity to be so slide sensitive.

 

[HootanParsa]

The new builds are uploaded as stable. If there is a new problem, please let me know. Thank you.

When you or other users try to share your suggestions or ideas, forget the other apps like they don't exist. If there are information YOU really need and MiX doesn't provide or it's not convenient to use, please explain your thoughts. I will think and work on them.
If you want a feature named 'Analyze' with some animation to tell you which files are small or big, I don't think it's necessary. You can open the 'All files' bookmark and sort the list by size. MiX also has a powerful search engine. If there is any problem with that feature, please let me know.
