Added
Added "Record Screen" option below "Take Screenshot" for paired TV devices on mobile featuring audio mic toggle, max duration selector (1m/3m/5m/10m), countdown clock, and auto-export to Movies/Recordings.
Fixed
Fixed an ExceptionInInitializerError when opening .xls spreadsheets in release builds by preserving Apache POI HSSF record classes and sid fields in R8 ProGuard rules.
Fixed an UninitializedPropertyAccessException (lateinit property prefs has not been initialized) in HiddenFilesManager by implementing safe lazy auto-initialization and fallback guards for prefs and dao.
Fixed an UninitializedPropertyAccessException (Exception jr3) crash in NetworkBrowserFragment and FileBrowserFragment by making view bindings null-safe across mobile, TV, and compact twin-window layout variants.
Fixed ClassNotFoundException (HlsMediaSource$Factory) crash in UFMPlaybackService when streaming or playing HLS (.m3u8), DASH, or RTSP media files by adding Media3 format extension dependencies and ProGuard keep rules.
Fixed missing "Tools" FAB and converted "Select All" into a standalone ExtendedFloatingActionButton matching the exact size and style of "Tools". Aligned both FABs in twin window mode (stacked vertically in center for vertical split, side-by-side at bottom center for horizontal split).
Fixed application crash when opening pane 1, pane 2, or standard browser window for non-existent local directory paths, removed SD cards/USB drives, or deleted network shares by falling back safely to Internal Storage root.
Fixed main-thread inflation lag and ANRs during file list scrolling by using lightweight AppCompatCheckBox in RecyclerView item layouts.
Fixed an OutOfMemoryError crash during 7-Zip (.7z) archive viewing and extraction by applying dynamic memory limits via SevenZFileOptions, catching memory errors safely with user-friendly notices, and enabling largeHeap in the application manifest.
