Basics
The two-pane file manager
Two panes, file operations, selection, bookmarks and root.
Panes and views
Manifesto shows two independent panes. Use Sliding to swipe between them on a phone, or Split to see both side by side on larger screens and in landscape.
Each pane can show a List, Grid or Compact view, sorted by name, date, size or type. Hidden files are one toggle away, and folders refresh live when their contents change.
File operations
Long-press or swipe across items to select them, then:
- Copy / Move straight to the other pane with the arrow shortcut.
- Rename, Delete, Share and Compress.
- Permissions to change the mode (chmod) where the filesystem allows it.
- Properties for size, dates and checksums.
Select by speeds up big selections: same type, same day/week/month/year, a date range, or names containing some text.
Open with
Tap a file to open it in Manifesto's own viewer. Use Open with to send it to another app. Manifesto remembers your choice per extension.
Bookmarks and locations
Bookmark any folder and it shows up in the drawer. You can set a start-up folder for each pane, or restore the last location.
Root
With root access, Root in the drawer browses system paths. Root is optional. Besides the Root location, only Dynamic Plugins and Frida's root mode need it.
