Notes
-
As of v0.5.5, keybindings have been revised and the UI has been revamped.
-
More information about an entry will be shown only in the top-down layout.
-
Only Copy operations are cancellable. Move and Delete operations will persist.
-
The current method to open files is via xdg-open. In certain cases, after opening
and modifying a file, the application may take time to exit, and as a result no operations
can be performed on the currently edited file until the application exits. For example, after
opening a zip file via file-roller, modifying it and closing the file-roller GUI, file-roller takes some
time to fully exit, and since the UI is waiting for file-roller to exit, the user cannot perform operations
on the currently modified file until file-roller exits.
Bugs
- In directories with a huge amount of entries, autocompletion will lag. This happens only on the device side (i.e ADB mode), where there is significant latency in transferring and processing the directory listing to the client.
