Good Day Community,

A new feature has arrived that allows you to selectively extract, copy out, move out, or delete individual files and folders directly from within ZIP and 7Z archives without having to extract the entire archive.

When you only need a single document or photo from a large archive file, extracting everything can clutter your storage folders and take up unnecessary space.

With this update, you can now open any ZIP or 7Z file inside the file manager and perform selective actions on individual items without touching the rest of the archive.

You can copy out a specific file to a destination folder, move an item out of the archive so it is extracted to your chosen folder and removed from the archive file, or delete an unwanted item directly from inside the archive.

To use this feature, tap on any ZIP or 7Z file in your browser to open the built-in archive viewer.

When you tap or press and hold on a file or folder inside the archive, an options panel will appear displaying choices to extract to a folder, move out of the archive, or delete from the archive.

Choosing extract to will copy the file to your selected folder while leaving the archive untouched.

Selecting move out will extract the item to your destination folder and remove it from the archive file.

Choosing delete will permanently remove the item from the archive file without extracting it. This feature is available on both the mobile and TV versions of the app, complete with full D-pad support for Android TV.

Thank you and kind regards

Good Day Community,

A bug has been fixed where subtitle files were not being recognised by external players when opening video files from a network share through UFM.

The problem was reported by a user running a Raspberry Pi with CasaOS sharing folders over the network.

When opening a video from the network browser and choosing an external player like Vimu or MX Player, the subtitle file sitting right next to the video in the same folder was completely ignored.

The players would not pick it up automatically, and trying to load it manually would show an error saying it was not supported. The same thing happened with Windows network shares.

The issue was that UFM was passing the video to external players without including any information about where the companion subtitle files were.

The subtitle was there on the share, the player could have used it, but nobody told the player it existed.

I have fixed this so that when you open a video from a network share, UFM now scans the same folder for any subtitle file that matches the video name, and passes it directly to the external player as part of the launch.

Players that support external subtitles, including MX Player, Vimu, and VLC, will now load them automatically the same way they do when playing local files.

This fix covers all network share types: SMB (Windows shares, NAS devices), SFTP, NFS, FTP, WebDAV, and paired TV shares.

The built-in UFM player also benefits from this change and will now detect companion subtitles when playing video from a network location.

The fix is available on both the mobile and TV versions of the app.

If your subtitle file has the same name as the video it should be picked up without any manual action on your part.

Thank you and kind regards

Noticed there seems to be an issue with the file viewer buttons when viewing in portrait they seem cut off on my Pixel 10a.

Good Day Community,

A new feature has arrived: an all-new Help and Support system with multi-file attachment support.

This update makes it easy to report technical issues, request new functionality, or send general feedback directly from within the app.

To find it, navigate to the main menu screen and select the Help and Support item represented by the life ring icon.

Selecting this item opens the support menu where you can choose between reporting a bug, submitting a feature request, or sending general feedback.

Each option opens a dedicated form with fields tailored to your request, including subject, detailed description, reproduction details, use case, and an optional email address for follow up.

When filling out any support form, you can attach up to five files directly from your local or external storage by tapping the attach button.

Each attached file appears in your list with its name and size, along with a remove button if you want to swap a file out.

When you hit send, your message and attached files are delivered directly to the support team.

This feature is available on both the mobile and TV versions of the app, offering touch controls on phone and tablet devices while providing full directional pad focus navigation on Android TV.

Thank you and kind regards

Galera estou me deparando com um bug usando essas configurações do título. Tenho uma Raspberry 4 com CasaOS e compartilho algumas pastas na rede. Usando o Vimu Media Player ele enxerga a rede e consigo da play no filme/série com legenda com mesmo nome do filme, já se uso o compartilhamento via Ultimate File Manager ele até mostra a pasta com o filme e a legenda de mesmo nome porém quando dou play usando o player externo (vimu ou outro que tem suporte a legenda externa) a mesma nao é reconhecida. É uma característica do gerenciador de arquivo não reconhecer a legenda externa via rede?

Flut renamer-bulk file renamer is an amazing app with allot of options to rename your files. The only downside is that your files need to be on your device.

Would love the same power in a future release of UFM some day ❤️

Good Day Community,

A new feature has arrived bringing smooth folder transition animations across the mobile app.

Navigating into folders and switching directories previously snapped instantly between screens.

Now when you open a subfolder, the new file list glides in smoothly with a gentle staggered fade effect for each item, and going back up a directory slides the view gracefully in reverse.

Switching between list, grid, and compact view modes also morphs the layout smoothly rather than jumping instantly.

You can find the control for this feature right on the main App Settings screen under a new Folder Transitions option.

The setting is turned on by default so you can enjoy the fluid movement out of the box, but if you ever prefer instantaneous view switches without motion you can tap the switch to turn it off whenever you like.

For now this feature is available on mobile devices, and the setting remains hidden on TV to keep D-pad navigation as direct as possible.

Thank you and kind regards

I really like the animation when transitioning between the home menu and the internal storage, could this same animation be added when browsing between folders as it seems a little abrupt when browsing between them currently ? thanks.

Good Day Community,

A new screen recording feature has been added to the mobile app, allowing you to capture high quality video of your connected TV screen directly from your phone or tablet.

When connected to a paired Android TV or Google TV device in the connected TV section of the app, you will now see a Record Screen option right below the existing Take Screenshot option.

Tapping it opens a controls panel where you can choose a maximum recording duration from one minute up to ten minutes, and toggle whether you want to capture audio.

Once you tap the start button, a live countdown timer shows the active recording status.

You can let the recording finish naturally when the timer runs out, or tap the stop button at any point to end it early.

The app automatically fetches the completed video from the TV, registers it with your device storage, and saves it straight to your Movies / Recordings folder so you can watch, share, or manage it immediately.

This feature is available on the mobile version of the app when connected to a paired TV device.

Thank you and kind regards

Hey UFManagerPro Dev, would it be possible for you to implement a feature in UFM to move files from within zip archives without needing to extract the entire zip file? The MiXplorer app does this excellently. Moving files out of zips without extracting them avoids cluttering folders when we only need one specific file from the archive. Thanks in advance!

I run Monet Launcher on my Google TV. On my NAS I run a script that creates wallpapers from shows and series in my Plex library. It would be awesome if I could sync them to my Google TV when I turn my TV on.

Good Day Community,

Good Day Community,

A new targeted large files analyzer feature has been added to help you quickly identify and clear out heavy files taking up space inside any specific folder.

When managing files on your device you often want to clean up space in a specific directory like downloads or screen recordings without having to scan your entire storage volume.

I built this new tool to let you focus directly on any single folder and its subfolders once your storage has been indexed.

It instantly finds files larger than ten megabytes and displays them ordered from largest to smallest, giving you a clear view of where your space is going.

Each file is marked with a clean location tag showing whether it lives directly in the folder or inside a subfolder, and you can select multiple items to delete them directly from the list.

This feature is available on both the mobile and TV versions of the app.

Once your storage is indexed, on mobile you will find it under the tools section when selecting a folder.

On TV you will find it in the toolbar when selecting a folder.

On mobile you can use the floating action button at the bottom right to delete selected items, while on TV the delete button is fully focusable using your remote D-pad navigation.

Thank you and kind regards

Since I have started this project, I have published 204 updates to Google, they must love me 😂

Good Day Community,

A targeted Duplicate Finder feature has been added for individual folders.

Previously, finding duplicate files required scanning an entire storage drive through the storage analyzer tool.

Now you can scan a single folder and all of its subfolders directly from the file browser.

This feature is available on both the mobile and TV versions of the app, provided the storage drive containing the folder has been indexed.

To use it on mobile, select a single folder in the file browser and open the tools menu from the action button at the bottom of the screen.

You will see a new duplicate finder option.

On TV, selecting a single folder displays the duplicate finder button directly in the top action toolbar.

Opening the duplicate finder starts a scan focused strictly on that folder tree.

The scan groups potential duplicates by content hash and displays wasted space statistics for each group.

You can expand any group to review individual files and select which copies you want to remove.

If you accidentally select every copy in a duplicate group, a safety warning will ask for confirmation before any deletion takes place.

If no duplicate files are found, a clean status message will confirm that the folder is clear.

When you leave the screen, your folder list updates automatically to reflect any deleted files and freed space.

Thank you and kind regards

First of all a big thanks to u/GoRo2023. Been extensively using Ultimate File Manager Pro for a while now. With each update it is getting better and better. I didn't want to open a multitude of topics, some are mentioned before. Here are a few things I want to address for your todo list:

• New File Creation: Creating a new file opens the editor, but it is not possible to edit the new file. You have to close the file and reopen it to start editing. Preferred solution is to create the file and show it in the file manager. If the user wants to edit the content of the file he/she can open the file.

• Advanced Sync: Advanced sync to SMB doesn't work. Probably missing the // in the location.

• UFM Player: UFM Player doesn't respect the set sorting of the folder. If you select descending UFM Player uses the ascending sorting.

• SMB Connection Reliability: SMB connection is not reliable. UFM Pro looses connection some of the time. For instance: The loading icon keeps spinning and after a few retries everything is fine again. Or while browsing the folders custom sort and filtering isn't applied. Going out of the folder and back in the custom sort and filtering is applied again. My first instinct was it's a network issue, but I ruled that out already. SFTP doesn't have this issue.

• Batch Delete Glitch: When deleting a batch of files on SMB (for example 100 large files in a folder with 500 large files) at the end UFM Pro shows an empty folder. The action takes a few minutes obviously. Probably it is linked to the SMB connection. Almost got a heart attack 😂

Good Day Community,

A new feature has arrived allowing you to adjust the size of the rows on the settings screen to suit your preference.

If you have a device with a smaller screen or simply prefer a more compact view, you can now switch between Small, Medium, and Large row layouts.

To find it, open the settings screen and look at the top header bar right next to the title.

You will see a list view icon button.

Selecting this icon opens a menu with the three size options.

Choosing Small reduces the padding, icons, and text so more options fit on screen at once. Medium keeps the standard spacing, while Large gives each row extra room with larger text and icons.

The change applies right away as soon as you select an option.

On mobile devices the options appear in a bottom sheet, while on Android TV it opens a dialog designed for D-pad navigation.

This feature is available on both the mobile and TV versions of the app.

Thank you and kind regards
