FileExplorer 0.7.1

Play audio and video in Gaming Mode, resume interrupted copies and choose where controller hints appear. This update also improves panel focus and adds an illustrated handheld guide.

• Audio and video player: play/pause, seek, stop, previous/next and fullscreen video. Audio uses an embedded cover or a speaker icon. Local files and SMB shares are supported; system FFmpeg provides compatibility playback when needed.
• Copy recovery: confirm cancellation, resume verified partial copies or start again in a new folder. A background interruption offers Resume, Start again, Cancel and Open FileExplorer. Recovery buttons fit in two rows with navigation in all four directions.
• Controller legends: choose the panel, Steam bar, both or neither. Labels and glyphs match across both surfaces. Shorter player and editor hints fit in one row on the tested PC and handheld viewports.
• File recognition: distinct icons for file categories, 238 recognized text extensions and common extensionless filenames. A opens supported previews; Options → Edit file handles unfamiliar text extensions and rejects binary data.
• Navigation and archives: L1/R1 keeps focus in the chosen panel. Plain GZ, BZ2 and XZ streams can be browsed and extracted.
• Documentation: complete format lists, a handheld guide, PC/handheld feature comparisons, four-mode legend collages and refreshed screenshots.

Media support depends on the codecs inside the file. Compatibility video playback is limited to 720p/30 fps. PDF and Office documents are not rendered; HTML, Markdown, SVG and similar formats open as source text. Interrupted extraction must be started again; copy recovery does not apply to extraction.

Update directly from an earlier release using Decky → FileExplorer → Update, or install the attached FileExplorer-0.7.1.zip through Decky's Developer settings. No intermediate version is required. Source-code archives are not installable plugin packages.

Validation: 85 Python tests on SteamOS, five frontend tests, TypeScript checking and a production build. Native Steam UI checks cover the PC and ROG Ally handheld; isolated SMB2 tests cover playback and copy recovery. The final package differs from the installed, tested 0.7.0 candidate only in version metadata and its built frontend version string.
