File Explorer
The File Explorer has 4 menus. File, Edit, Sort, Bookmarks
File:
Go Up - Navigate to the root of your SD card/external storage
Make Directory - Create a new folder
Open [INT] - Opens the selected file inside this screen
Open [EXT] - Tells Android to open the selected file
Share - Tells Android to share the selected file
Properties - Views the properties of the selected file
Edit:
Cut - Puts all the selected files in the clipboard to be moved
Copy - Puts all the selected files in the clipboard to be copied
Paste - Pastes any cut/copied files into the current directory
Delete - Deletes all selected files
Rename - Rename the selected file
Multi-Select - Toggles multi-select mode. While in multi-select mode, you will have to click selected item to de-select it
Select All - Selects all files
Select None - Selects no files
Invert Selection - Toggles whether or not each file is selected
Sort:
Ascending/Descending - Changes the sort direction
Filename/Extension/Size/Date - Changes which file attribute to sort by (directories will always be at the top)
(The current settings will have a "<" pointing to it)
Search - Search the current directory for files. Uses DOS-type wildcards and an equation evaluator
* = multiple characters (ie: "test*.txt" will search for all filenames beginning with "test" and ending with ".txt")
? = single character (ie: "text?.txt" will search for all filenames the same length as "text?.txt, beginning with "test" and ending with ".txt")
To use the equation evaluator, the equation must go inside [these brackets]
The variables it will accept are:
now - the current date including the time
today - the current date at midnight (zero-hours, zero-minutes)
yesterday - yesterday's date at midnight
tomorrow - tomorrow's date at midnight
seconds - how many ticks in a second
minutes - how many ticks in a minute
hours - how many ticks in an hour
days - how many ticks in a day
dir - (string) the directory the file is in
name - (string) the text after the last / (the name of "site/myscifiui/home/help/17.html" is "17.html")
ext - (string) the text after the last period, in lower-case (the extension of "test.TXT" is "txt")
title - (string) the name without the extension (the title of "test.TXT" is "test")
size - (number) the size of the file
ftime - (string) the last date the file was modified
fdate - (string) just the date part of ftime
Example equations:
[size < 4096] - will return all files smaller than 4 kilobytes
[ext = 'txt'] - will return all files with the "txt" extension (although "*.txt" would do the same thing)
[fdate < yesterday] - will return all files last modified before yesterday
[ftime < now - 3*minutes] - will return all files last modified before 3 minutes ago
[fdate < gdate("01/12/2015")] - will return all files last modified before January 12, 2015
Bookmarks:
Add: [Current Directory] - Adds the current directory to the bookmark list
Remove: [Current Directory] - Removes the current directory from the bookmark list
[List of Directories] - Opens that directory
