All new file browser







The old file browser was removed and replaced by a new compact solution. It is based on the file browser known from import dialog.

The previous “Notebook” tab in the main screen is now called “Files”. Notebook is now just your document “home” folder.

You can now freely navigate the filesystem and all files are shown (previously: only folders and text documents).





Favourites

Add any file or folder to your favourites! Long press a file/folder and tap the star button to add to or remove from favourites.

Favourite files are highlighted by Markor’s red accent color.

Use the new quick navigation menu option to quickly navigate to your favourites, recently viewed files and more.

Favourites are listed as normal files/folders in the file browser. They appear virtual under the special folder /storage/favourite-files . When a folder gets selected, the file browser will navigate to the real folder. Files get opened.
