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

[Nimueh]

Telegram is not too far behind.

Yea true, but using it in a bunch of different groups isn't too bad. But Discord ... nope, never again

 

[IronTechmonkey]

Not sure If it is alright, but I recommend to have a discord server for mixplorer.
Everything here is cluttered. Things can be better organised there, and it will be better for real time support and separate channels for bugs, requests and others.
It's hard to keep up in XDA.

4 thumbs down for Discord from me as well, but this is not born of disagreement about the limitations of flat forums and what could be better at XDA. A dedicated bug tracker, which has been mentioned before, might help with organization but if that were practical for the developer to do it would probably already be in place.

[EDIT] @flames2838, also please don't take the fact that some people don't like Discord as a lack of appreciation for the suggestion. Just because I'm not for it doesn't make it an unreasonable suggestion.

I'm sorry but there is no enterprise or tightly managed home shop I know of that would allow items to be handled like that, nor have I ever seen something like that on Android. A strong case can be made for this as a security/privacy issue but if you don't see the value of that for your usage case then let's not engage in debate about the merits of this to privacy and let's look at the simple facts. With the recycle feature disabled items are being recycled. That should not happen. If the feature is disabled then... it should be disabled. To not have things go to the recycle bin is the specific purpose of disabling the recycle bin.

I wasn't questioning the security/privacy implications of files not being thoroughly deleted. I was questioning whether a particular option in Mixplorer meant what some people thought it meant.

I thought the only option (I use an old version) was to determine the default, with the other choice available by some variation of touch.

I now see that even my version has two entries in More Settings, and that one of those does talk about whether the Undo capability will be available at all.

Edit- just removed everything as I can't delete the post and everyone here already hate discord.

Was a good idea to suggest something so dont take everyone's comments personally, maybe its an age thing but I am another one that dislikes discord telegram etc and find those platforms a total mess to navigate, I follow (If i can call it that) the telegram group for Viper4android, have absolutely no idea whats going on there, a complete stream of gibberish, there are a few others that I can't make heads or tails of either, one of the problems with xda in my opinion is that it does not translate well to mobile, i find xda to be good but prefer it on a computer, again that might just be a age thing......

I had to take that personally, there is a polite way to show that they dislike any app, I am never ever going to suggest anything again,
I don't appreciate comments like "this app is cancer"
Looking at these comments, I don't think xda is any better

I know we're off topic (again)...

Don't take it too hard. Many of us think after posting

The one big advantage of a web forum like this one is that it's visible to search engines and can be preserved for posterity, unlike proprietory messaging apps like the previously-mentioned. Thus, you can search and find solutions for devices no longer supported.

In public forums you must become accustomed to a wide range of opinion and style of expression. Believe it or not, some people were being quite reserved about their negative impressions of discord.

Apologies for the off topic.

And some of us who don't do "quite reserved" just kept quiet

I now see that even my version has two entries in More Settings, and that one of those does talk about whether the Undo capability will be available at all.

I had also been on an older version and lost track of the various descriptions which is why I installed the betas in series, intending to verify which of the previous description applied to 6.59.0-beta 23012110 and then discovering the new and unavoidable long press recycle functionality. Having seen the settings and behavior evolve, IMO there may be the need (or at least the desire) for more settings which could be broken out like so:

- Recycle (recently added)
- Remember delete option (unchanged AFAIK)
- Undo (recently removed)
- Toggle long press delete or toggle recycle bin to "all off" (proposed)

Regarding long press delete to recycle even when recycle is disabled, there are some interesting comparisons to be made to Windows, iOS, and Linux regarding default behavior of recycle/trash bins, the ability to disable them, and when qualifier keys are used to modify the previously set function, but I'll save those for when there's more clarity about what HP intends to do.

Why add to another platform when it is already available on a platform? I don't get moving android and development away from the site that is made specifically for Android and development. Wtf is discord and why should i, a long time user of MiX and XDA, even be discussing it? It is neither an Android or development site. People think XDA threads get convoluted, I know, let's really make things hard by moving to other sites. It's like the logic of we have a huge gun problem, what we need to do is sell more guns!!! It just makes 0 sense.

 

[Ultramanoid]

Many people, myself included, wonder how Hootan goes over all posts after a long absence of weeks or months. Well.

I used to log in daily but now can check XDA every few weeks or months only, and honestly, to my surprise, it is extremely easy to read linearly in a couple of hours a whole batch of posts and conversations worth months of feedback and discussion.

It also helps reading a discussion as a whole.

Also some forget that bug trackers often get tons of duplicated entries for the same bug, in different places, that must be constantly consolidated into a single issue, which is a pain and constant work.

Issue details

We found an issue in the following area(s):

• SPLIT_BUNDLE 22090550: Policy Declaration - Data Safety Section: Personal Info Data Type - Email Address

-----------------


I think I'm really confused about what is collecting the user data and sharing them. For example for connecting to mega.com, MiX is sending user's email and password off the device. Or it's using WebView for login.

This is what they say:

------------------------------------------------------
You must disclose:

• Any of the required user data types that are collected and/or shared.
• Any user data sent off the user's device by libraries or SDKs used in your app, regardless of whether this information is transmitted to you (the developer) or a third party.
• Any user data transferred from your server to a third party, or transferred to another third party app on the same device.
• Any user data collected or transferred through a webview which can be opened from your app - unless users are navigating the open web.

-----------------

I feel embarrassed!

As someone else (@J.Michael ?) may have mentioned, the wording of much of this seems to be referring to a declaration that you make to Google (rather than to users) about the app capabilities. You may have already been though this but in case not, from here: (where one user said of the answer "Thanks. Google should hire you to rewrite their own emails and documentation"

https://stackoverflow.com/questions...compliant-with-google-play-policies-what-is-t

This statement:

"All apps are required to complete an accurate Data safety section that discloses their data collection and sharing practices - this is a requirement even if your app does not collect any user data."

Maybe some of the other replies in that thread are helpful but I could not reproduce what they were suggesting.

Here is Google's related gibberish (and "relational gibberish" is an apt description of google) which you also may have seen: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10787469?hl=en

To your point, it is hard to properly interpret all 4 of those statements (quoted below) in terms of the message"SPLIT_BUNDLE 22090550: Policy Declaration - Data Safety Section: Personal Info Data Type - Email Address"

- Any of the required user data types that are collected and/or shared.
- Any user data sent off the user's device by libraries or SDKs used in your app, regardless of whether this information is transmitted to you (the developer) or a third party.

Hello everyone.

I have two issue. Hope you all can help me solve it. I am on Oneplus 9R rooted with Oxygen OS 13. I have MiXplorer installed version 6.58.8. The issue is that if i want to install an app and set package installer and click on remember it won't stay like that. The next time also while installing it ask what app to open with. Is there issue with the app or with my device..? (Screenshot attached)

The second issue is that i am not able to access the android/data folder even though i have root. I know that there is an issue with android 13 that it doesn't allow access to the data folder. But with root i thought it will be accessible. Please let me know if i am missing something about it. Thanks in advance for the help

Hi,
1. Try the latest beta.
2. Use different paths to ./Android/data directory like /sdcard/Android/data.

Okay i installed the latest beta from the google drive and the issue with the installation is solved. Now it directly takes the package installer as the default. But still the access to data folder is not happening.

I'm getting more confused.
Now I'm sure MiXplorer is collecting data. For example when it's saving user email/password for FTP connection. But sharing?! A user enters email/password to login to his/her own account. It it sharing with third party apps?!! Sigh!

Lol... Just replied to my comment that yes the first point is working with latest beta. For the second point.. can you explain it in detail.. coz if i am able to give access to sd card but not the data folder (1st screenshot). If i use a MiXplorer app to give the access (2nd screenshot) I am able to view the folder but not able to rename any folder.. it throws be back to Mixplorer data screen with the folder name unchanged
