Pre-release

The first beta of SimpleShare! This release consolidates the initial development phase into a cohesive, feature-rich tool designed for rapid file sharing/management with a focus on simple, beautiful, and efficient design.

✨ Key Features

  • 🛠️ First-Time Setup Wizard: A streamlined experience for new users to configure storage permissions and select their primary target share app (e.g., Google Photos, WhatsApp) right out of the box.
  • ⚡ Smart Path Autocomplete: Upgraded the "Default Path" setting with a reactive directory browser. It provides real-time suggestions as you type, with a one-tap completion system that makes navigating your internal storage effortless.
  • 📂 Modern File Browser:
    • Support for Grid and List views.
    • Custom icons for specific file types (PDF, Archives, Music, Images, Video, APKs).
    • A high-performance Proportional FastScroll bar with item snapping and scrubbing support.
  • 🎯 Powerful Selection Logic:
    • Drag-to-Select: Select multiple files quickly using standard mobile gestures.
    • Keep Selection: Toggle the ability to maintain your selected file list while navigating between folders.
    • Select All & Sort: One-tap "Select All" and comprehensive sorting by Name, Date, Size, or Extension (Folders First).
  • 🔍 Enhanced Visibility:
    • File Visibility Filters: Switch between "Media Only" (Default) or use "Custom Extensions" to find exactly what you need.
    • Quick Open: Long-press a file to open it directly with a system-suggested app.

⚙️ Technical Improvements

  • Asynchronous Processing: All file system operations, directory scanning, and folder size calculations are handled on background threads (Dispatchers.IO) to ensure a stutter-free 60FPS UI.
  • Resource Caching: Implemented a Room-based cache for folder sizes and item counts, drastically speeding up directory browsing.
  • Advanced Image Loading: Powered by Glide with specialized support for modern formats like HEIC, including placeholder stacking to avoid visual flickering.
  • Material 3 Design: Fully compliant with M3 guidelines, featuring a dynamic dark theme and interactive micro-animations.
