Hello all,
It's been too long since this thread has been updated, and FX has evolved quite a bit since the last update. As of yesterday, FX 0.116 is available.
Added features include:
- The user interface aesthetics/theme have been updated.
- Network shares can be browsed via SMB (Windows Networking) workgroup browsing and mDNS discovery.
- The indexed search feature is now available.
- Added support for anonymous SMB (Windows Networking) connections.
- SSH connections can now use public key authentication.
- Added support for streaming media (audio and video) via SMB, SFTP (SSH), and FTP.
- A "conventional" multiple select mode is now available in addition to the "swipe-to-select" feature.
- The root module is now available. This will be a paid add-on, but free for beta testing. See Root Access for FX File Explorer | android.nextapp.com for download instructions (requires latest version of FX).
- Corrected bugs, improved performance.
Oh sweet, FX got root!! Tod, what are you going to charge for the paid version?
For the Text Editor part of the app, can you make that an add on download? I don't really need that at all and I rather that it doesn't come bundle with the FX app.
Thanks Tod for the explanation. So you are planning 2 different paid version of FX? One includes only the network function and the other includes Root?
I think the $2.99 is the sweet price point for most people.
Tinkering with this one and I am really liking the UI. Very nice.
I think that being able to browse my dropbox folders, like bluetooth or network folders, would be VERY handy and set you apart from the other guys!
Tod, when do you think that FX will be out of beta? Are there more features on your list you still need to add before then or just bug fixes?
I can't complain there!!! lol. Thanks for the explanation and quenching my curiosity.Though, and in the interim everyone gets to use all the features of a not-really-beta file manager for free.
