datFM - a two-panel file manager for Android

I bought an Android tablet, beautiful, fast, convenient, but I didn’t find a good file manager for it. On the phone, I used X-plore (it suits me completely), on the tablet I tried Solid Explorer, it was close to what I needed, but for some reason I switched to single-panel mode with a vertical orientation (maybe this turns off somewhere) and did not allow transferring Directories via Bluetooth or Gmail. Part of FM for Android is megabytes, part is too simple, part does not have a two-panel interface at all, and so on, all of me are not happy with something. What to do? Naturally write your bike! And so it began.

datFM

A two-panel file manager for Android, initially focused on tablets. I don’t have an Android phone now, and the emulator delivers more suffering than understanding the user’s feelings, so the phone look is finalized solely by reviews and wishes.

On the phone:

Instructions:

Sorry, I'm not an apple, to use my product I have to read a small how-to)

Highlight:

To select, you need to press and hold your finger on a file or directory, the line will be highlighted.
If you have already selected at least one file in the list, then to select it is enough a click, it is no longer necessary to hold.
The selection is also removed by a click. To quickly highlight or deselect, there are quick buttons in the action bar.

Context menu:

A context menu appears when you click on a file or directory icon, it allows you to, for example, view properties, add to favorites or "open with."
If several files are selected, then the properties will display the total data.
The context menu for the directory (it may look different depending on the content from which the menu is called)

Action bar:

Contains frequently called functions. It can be hidden in the settings, in this case it will appear if there is at least one selected file in the current panel.

File and directory properties:

You can access the properties from the context menu, if it is a file, then you can check its checksum there. If several files or directories are selected, the summary information will be displayed.

Samba and encryption:

To store passwords, I made a slightly different solution than typical. When creating a bookmark, you can enter the secret key, which will be used to encrypt the password, this key will need to be entered both when accessing the bookmark and when trying to edit it. Without knowing the key, the bookmark cannot be opened; it can only be deleted. For different bookmarks, you can use different keys, you can use one key for all or not use keys at all. The choice is yours. This approach seemed to me more flexible than the master password.

Bookmarking Samba: You can
