I use a different file manager that I like better so far (won't mention names out of respect to dev). I downloaded this because it gets good reviews. I'm sure it works well, but one thing immediately turns me off (if it can be remedied please let me know) is the wasted space (lines) between folders (the use of two lines when only one is needed) so that I have to scroll needlessly in many cases. I would like to explore it more but that in itself is a deal breaker for me.

Overall a great experience. The only improvements are: 1) Multi select files in a folder. If there's 20 files and i need to select from 5th to 14th be nice if there was a way to select easier instead of clicking each one individually. 2) I'd like the option of a compact view of the folders/files. For me the gap between each one is too much and i can't find an option to change. Introducing for me would make it 5 stars

The application is very good! I've been using it for about three months and the only thing I have to say is that I've had several crashes when transferring files via FTP. Often the FTP server / the application itself crashes and I have to enable the server again and try to transfer the file, this is annoying and I don't know what it could be exactly. Thanks for your patience, this application is essential for me, a great file manager.
