Changes from the initial beta14 to the current beta15
-
FTP server fixes and polish
-
Fixed the beta14 startup crash
-
Fixed FTP server startup failure caused by the missing app-private ftp-users.properties file.
-
Improved the FTP Server page layout so controls no longer overlap on smaller screens.
-
Added clear FTP server state colors:
-
Colored FTP status
-
Preserved the existing FTP foreground-service model, authenticated read/write mode, optional anonymous read-only access, client approval, transfer journal, and notification controls.
-
Split view and tablet usability
-
Added resizable split view support on tablets.
-
Increased the splitter touch/drag area while keeping the visual separator compact.
-
Preserved the fixed 50/50 portrait split behavior on phones.
-
Improved split-view usability without changing the established beta13 navigation behavior.
-
Thumbnail handling
-
Added video thumbnails using Android media frame extraction.
-
Added persistent disk caching for image and video thumbnails.
-
Changed thumbnail cache identity so thumbnails are not regenerated simply because the panel or thumbnail size changes.
-
Reused cached thumbnails when revisiting folders or restarting the application.
-
Home screen performance and data consistency
-
Reduced the delay when returning to the Home screen.
-
Home views are now kept alive instead of being rebuilt on every navigation cycle where possible.
-
Added shared Home data caching across single-pane and dual-pane transitions.
-
Fixed the second Home panel showing an empty Storage overview in tablet dual-pane mode.
-
Separated lightweight Recent/Favorites/Places refreshes from expensive storage probing.
-
Manual refresh still performs a real data refresh.
-
Added a option to Settings for choosing between:
-
Single-click/tap to open
-
Double-click/tap to open
-
Update notifications
-
Added automatic update checking for the Android release channel:
https://github.com/beyond-commander/beyondcmd.apk/releases/latest -
The app checks once on startup and then periodically in the background. Notifications are only shown when a newer version is detected.
-
The same release is only notified once per installation.
-
Tapping the notification opens the corresponding Android release page.
-
Update checks remain HTTPS-only and do not bypass TLS validation.
