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

[[] AL []]

Not drawable, bitmaps. Bitmaps have to be png or jpeg format I think. If you change bitmap to xml or whatever it should work. It is looking for a physical image not a coded image.

Unfortunately, there's not a single entry for bitmap in the whole MiX \res folder.

From what I could find though, with vector drawables, Android has to convert/cache them as an image and when a drawable is used for 2 different sized images (like in this case: the files thumbnails and the album art cover), it is preferable to use 2 separate drawables - which is not the case in MiX.

In fact, the vector drawable works fine for the song files thumbnails (see one of my previous pic), so I don't think that adding an xml file pointing to the vector drawable will make a difference here. I usually do that for the opposite case: when I want to replace a vector drawable for a png.

Anyhow, thanks and no big deal; the last png I used is good enough for now.

Hi,

I'm curious to know how it looks for you currently (screenshot?); does it have anything translated at all? If it doesn't, then maybe it is because no one volunteered to do the translation. --> Maybe something you could do?? If yes, send an email to Hootan I'm sure he will be glad to guide you.

And also, is this how other apps behave? I mean switching the drawer to the right side of the screen. I would have tought that having the text aligned to the right side of the drawer be enough...(?)

Edit: after having a glance at post #4, it appears that your language is not on the list. So it's your chance to put your name in the spotlight by making MiX more complete and better suited for the whole Arabic community.

Additional edit: have you checked the language pack apks from that post#4: List of v5.x (and v6. x) language add-ons

Well, some apps do change the orientation with RTL languages. But it is not a must. Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew are RTL languages. I know Hebrew a bit, so I tried it. It does not change orientation as seen in screenshot.

Piggy-backing on the language conversation, and regarding the skins component list:

I’ve notice that no one has been using the new skins components list, which is described here: MiX Skins Component List Intro and resides here: MiX Skins Component List.

If anyone can think of ways it can be improved or made more accessible please share them. @marciozomb13 and @miststudent2011, your feedback was what got it started so please do share what you think. I’ve got no problem with a lack of interest but if no-one works in it soon or states plans to do so I will lock it down. This is not out of any ill will, in fact making it was quite enjoyable, but an idle resource is an insecure resource.

OT:

On the humorous side of things: Reading the discussion of LTR languages and pagination reminded me of a fun writing exercise/game which might or might not work in any language:

- With your primary writing hand, write the characters in your alphabet in one line in the proper orientation and direction.

- With your non-writing hand, try to write the same alphabet with the characters in same proper orientation and direction. Not easy for those who are not ambidextrous.

- Now, again with your non-writing hand, write the alphabet with the characters in mirror image and in the opposite direction. Surrender to your secondary hand’s tendency to literally mirror the primary hand and you may find this considerable easier to write in reverse and inverted.

Thanks for valuing the feedback and creating the sheet

>I've got no problem with a lack of interest but if no-one works in it soon or states plans do I will lock it down

I was being idle , because you took up the task, its not because lack of interest , I would like to add one more column where there would be the description of the field will be present (if possible image link)

For Eg. menu_overlap_anchor ->> what does this field does will be described in the adjacent column.

Edit: I missed your post in FAQ thread so I was not aware you have already shared the Doc weeks before.

Groovalicious. As long as there is any interest I'll keep it opened (and even if it were to be locked it would be easy to unlock). Thanks for the feedback.

We really appreciate your dedication to make our suggestions a reality.
My 50 cents is: create the entire guide with screenshots, for each element name, an image. This will make the guide universal, everybody in any single language will contribute with a image, inserting directly into the spreadsheet.
I know we will have more than 70 images but is easy visually searchable. My example below. Thanks again.

The Double Space hash calculation bug

@HootanParsa, there is a problem where MiXplorer can't calculate the Hash of files containing two or more consecutive space chars in the file name. For my test case, one file had the double space and the other a single space. After renaming the file, the hash function worked properly.
It seems that the Properties dialog converts two or more spaces into single ones when we slide from one file to the other; I suppose this is the cause.

Update at Post #23711

It's possible to empty these recently used colors without redefine app data? It stops to updating when all colors is fulfilled.

From the perspective that the "entire guide" is the MiX FAQ of which skins are one part, and given available time, there is no way that I'll be able to do that, but I could create a folder in the Google Drive and give access to someone else who is willing to do that. I would add that in spite of the benefits you describe there would be some limitations to an all image Skins mini-FAQ but that that would not prevent me from creating a workspace for it or other skins related ideas.

My 1 issue with MiXplorer is the color picker used. I presume it is because older devices have a compatability issue with newer versions, but the color wheel is nearly impossible to use to get correct color hexes. Luckily I have my 5 or 6 hex values memorized...

 

[DiamondJohn]

I may of found a bug, or something screwy with my set up, as I have tried it on two different devices with the same bad result.

To reproduce the behaviour:

1. Start MiXplorer
2. I browse to my Music directory (ie lots of files)
3. I click the search icon (magnifying glass at the bottom left)
4. I enter xxxx and when it finds the file (ie Xxxx.mp3), I select it (long press) and then look at the properties (top right menu, first item)
5. It shows the correct details ie details for Xxxx.mp3 :good:
6. I then close the pop-up and click the clear search ie the X in the bottom left
7. I then click the search again, and search for Aaaa, and it correctly returns Aaaa.mp3 as the results
8. I select the file (long press), and check the properties of that file
9. The pop-up incorrectly shows the properties of the last search results ie Xxxx.mp3 :silly: and not the selected Aaaa.mp3 file

Is it a bug? known? or is it something wrong with the setup of both my devices? Could someone confirm if it is just me

For a little bit of info. Device No 1 is on an external SD Card formatted as F2FS, and the second device test is on the internal SD Card (ie the data paertition) formatted as F2FS.

I just noticed when testing it again, it appears to have cross folder selects. So in the top left, I can see it has two files selected, not 1. ie the first file has not been de-selected. So maybe its a case of switching from the properties of the first selected file to that of the last/currently selected file (if there is only 1 in the view) Or more logically (to me at least), a summary of all selected/multiple files eg a count and total cumulative size of all files selected.

I just checked and selecting multiple files within the same folder, also shows the details of the first file selected, not the last file you select.

 

[shaqman89]

I just checked and selecting multiple files within the same folder, also shows the details of the first file selected, not the last file you select.

It's sequential. It shows every properties that the files selected sequentially (most of the times, based on the order it was selected).

Try swiping left and right, and you know that it loads all properties. So that is why there is no summary showing.

It might be a good idea though to have a visual cue that it is showing multiple properties (a summary like mentioned above or an arrow to the left and right should be enough).

yep that works, and is also another cool feature.

hi guys, sorry one question: I found the way to set as default a particular folder in MIX, but I would like to set two different tabs as default, so when I run the app, I always have the two different tabs already open, is that possible maybe? TIA!

Just sayin', but it would've been much quicker if you'd tried to do it yourself instead of asking here.

(Mostly because, spoiler alert, yes you can, just like what you did with the folder [Save tabs... » Now]).

(Unless you meant something else?)

(I also invite you to take a look to the FAQ thread before asking questions, as they may be already answered nicely there. I'd say it's much quicker than asking a question and waiting an answer.)

(Have a nice day).

wow works great thanks!
yes I tried myself before posting, but didn't see the drop down menu to save multiple tabs meh and didn't think the FAQ was so nicely done, next time will search there first sorry!
