See my comment reply to the other person who suggested this. It is astonishingly good. It’s beyond perfect! Thanks.

Oh. My. God.
This is EXACTLY what I wanted and solo much more!! This guy has thought of everything. Not only grid mode but also gallery. Storage types more than I’ve even heard of!

There are like a thousand pathetic simple file managers on the app shops but this one never came up on my searches. Or I just didn’t notice.

This app does everything and more than every other combined! And it performs FASTTTTTT!

Thank you! I’m gonna buy the store version to support the Dev, I just wanted to test it out. Exceeds my needs by orders of magnitude!

Thank you so much for the recommendation.

You really can’t run it in Bottles, or a VM of Windows? I’ve managed the occasional peripheral using a VM.

Yes, I’m aware of the ability to manually hide a directory. Thank you anyway for making the suggestion. I do wish the app properly respected the .nomedia file. Ah well.

Meanwhile I have another crash Android dilemma going on as well. Most of the time Android is freaking amazing to me, and then there are times I wonder how something fundamental and basic has been overlooked.

I don’t see any setting that would affect it. Is it possible I have to enable some setting? No matter how I configure it, it’s displaying images within folders that have a .nomedia file.

I’d like also to ask is there any difference between Aves Libre and the Aves Gallery app in the Play store & Aurora store?

Well I don’t mean aesthetics, its just buttons and layout are a bit awkward. And other aspects. I can check and see what exactly bothers me so I can follow up with specifics.

I was pleasantly surprised they finally did some updating because damn, that app had been stagnant for years.

It’s an interesting app. I kinda like it a don’t at the same time. It has a lot to offer, but needs some polishing.

I’ve tried all the galleries and Aves Libre is the one I have consistently found superior to all others.

It is a little better, I’ll agree with this. I usually end up just using Droidify. I’ve tried pretty much all the variations eg: Foxy, Neo, Izzy (good repo, bad app; can’t shut off checking for updates), etc.

Material files is alright, but if you’re going to accept some serious limitations of under-developed features, I’d stick with Total Commander.

I will check it out, thanks!

I’ve tried soooo many launchers. Absolutely nothing has equaled the total features and polish of Nova. Thus far the one I’m able to most tolerate is Poco, and on some devices I actually like Launch Time, which is a lot more visible a presence since it has a menu bar and background everything. It’s more like the old Program Manager in Windows 3.1. Poco is fairly simple but doesn’t support adaptive so when you apply an icon pack it won’t generate an approximation for ones that aren’t in the pack. On Nova most packs will at least encapsulate icons in their pack’s design shell. If Poco got a little more sophisticated I would like it.

And I also quite like the total simplicity of Neat Launcher, which is nice because it’s also open source.

I used to love making text adventure with AGT the Adventure Game Toolkit. I’ve wanted for some time already to learn to make stuff with still images and click zones which is essentially the evolution of the text adventure. The audience for this stuff is tiny, but I’d still love to get back into making text adventure. If there’s an easy to learn equivalent of AGT that can be made either web-hosted or somehow platform-independent I’d love to do that. AGT was a real breeze to learn and it’s a terrific creative outlet.

Anything more sophisticated is out of my league as I’m not a pro coder; my development experience is limited to an array of projects in VB6, the biggest of which was a companion software for Team Fortress Classic to customize scripts and per-class macros. It was called TFCompanion. Got 1,000 downloads roughly. But I digress.

Wanna dance?

Someone’s got delusional ideas about what he’s got for sale.

Good old Angband was my go-to for quite a long time years ago. Honestly it would be refreshing to try something a little different but essentially the same concept.

Wha I would really like most would be for Android maybe a port of Torchlight!

Also, Windows doesn’t “just work.” I’ve yet to encounter anyone who gets a Windows machine and has no problems at all.

My mother-in-law got a new laptop (didn’t consult me first) and it refused to even acknowledge her printer when plugged in. I plugged in my little transformer pad running an old Ubuntu and it printed in literally one second flat. She ended up having to get a new printer. Why? Because the existing one she had, the manufacturer didn’t pay their protectsia to have it in the included drivers base. And no, even a downloaded driver didn’t help.

So Windows has its own shit aplenty. That’s just one example of many. I think the idea that Windows is easier is a myth. Linux just happens to have a lot more to offer that requires a little learning, and most people are just too lazy or scared.

Anyone who takes the plunge and is willing to learn seems to be happy for having done it so… that should be enough testimonial.

They ditched him from the cast as soon as that photo started making its way around. Some of the other cast members verified that he was talking about how he was going to go to the rally. Being in a rally is fine - regardless your politics, a rally is legal - but when the studio saw the photo circulating, and it was verified that it was him, they cut him from the show pretty much immediately. They didn’t have a voice actor for the character for a good while, though. I don’t think anyone missed him, truthfully. I liked the character early on, but I’d had enough. Okay yes we get it he’s obnoxious and picks on Bob. It gets old.

So… After that had fixed it, I’m using device for a few more days and now suddenly there’s a different omen So, share sheet now has an email recipient up there on top of all other items. There doesn’t seem to be anywhere that I can prohibit Outlook items from being shoved onto that position.

What the actual F? Any idea?
