Android version of the desktop file manager Total Commander (www.ghisler.com).
This application is a file management tool that allows users to organize and manipulate files and folders on their mobile devices. It does not contain any advertisements, but it does have a link to download additional plugins that may be considered ads by the Play Store.
The main features of this app include the ability to copy, move, and delete entire subfolders, as well as drag and drop files. Users can also rename files and create new directories within the app. It also has the ability to zip and unzip files, as well as unrar them.
Other useful features include a built-in text editor, a search function, and the ability to select and unselect groups of files. Users can also view a list of installed applications and manually backup apps using a built-in plugin. The app also has the ability to connect to FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV servers, as well as access files on a local area network.
For users with rooted devices, there is an optional root support feature that allows the app to write to system folders. However, users will be warned before any changes are made to write-protected partitions.
The app also has a media player that can stream files from LAN, WebDAV, and cloud plugins. It also has a configurable button bar for quick access to common functions.
In addition to its main features, the app also has a simple help function available in multiple languages and optimizations for visually impaired users. It also supports a wide range of languages for the main program and allows for public translation through a crowdsourcing platform.
One important note about the app's permissions is the new "SuperUser" permission, which is requested to improve functionality on rooted devices. This permission allows the app to write to system folders, but it will not have any effect on non-rooted devices. Users will be warned before any changes are made to write-protected partitions. More information about this permission can be found on the developer's website.
Important note: This app does NOT contain any ads. However, it contains a link "Add plugins (download)" in the home folder. This is treated as an ad by the Play Store because it links to our other apps (plugins).

About the new permission "SuperUser":
This permission is now requested to make Total Commander work better on rooted devices. It tells the SuperUser app that Total Commander supports root functions. It has no effect if your device is not rooted. Root functions allow Total Commander to write to system folders like /system or /data. You will be warned before anything is written if the partition is write protected.
