Download and install: the boot file

folder-explorer-2.4.0-boot.zip (1.1 MB) holds one file, folder-explorer-install.php. Unpack it on your web server and open it in the browser: it checks PHP, asks for a folder name and your administrator, and installs Minimal (7 files, English only), Standard (10 files, with the translations - recommended) or Maximal (182 files, with local libraries - no internet access needed). Then it deletes itself.

What is new

  • Share link (file and folder menu): a link for people without an account - it works for 1, 7, 30 or 90 days (administrators: also without an end) and may have a password. A folder is fetched as one ZIP file. The link works only while its maker may still download the file. Program menu Shared links: copy, see the downloads, delete. The page of the link speaks the language of the browser.
  • Edit (file menu): text files up to 2 MB in a folder you may write in - Ctrl+S saves, the old version goes to the trash, line ends and byte order mark are kept. If someone else changed the file meanwhile, you are asked.
  • Edit with TinyMCE (file menu of an HTML file): a word-processor view - only the body is edited (the head is kept), <script>, <style> and PHP tags are kept as they are. TinyMCE is fetched the first time it is used, not on every page.
  • Search in all subfolders - also in Quick mode: by name (* and ? for the whole name) and if you like in the text of text files you may download.
  • Gallery: the files as tiles, images as small pictures - a tile opens the file menu, a double-click views it, the check box selects it.
  • Duplicates (Analyse mode): files with the same content in this folder and below it, the most space to save first - move the copies to the trash.
  • The download icon before the file name is gone - Download is in the file menu.
  • Layout: the file features are locked to the bottom of the scrolling file window, the status of the checked rows below the select buttons, a higher file window, the line below all card headings, the % text on the bar of Used space (Danish: Pladsforbrug).
  • Fixed: ?dl[]=x (and fsz, pv, fdl) gave a PHP warning.

New settings: $fe_share_days (90, 0 = no share links), $fe_shares_file, $fe_tinymce_url, $fe_tinymce_lang - see the README.

Updating from 2.3.x: replace folder-explorer.php, fe-preview.js and _trans.sys.json. The program makes fe-shares.php (the share links) itself.
