- I created DONATION app, from now on u can donate via PayPal or newly directly via Market – "buy" DONATION app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.raven4.MKCommander_donation
- I created new sister application to MKCommander (MKC) called MKCommander HD (MKC HD). What's difference? Mostly in memory limits!
- both app's share almost same code 99%
- original MKCommader can run on any Android 2.1+, so also on phone/tables with Honeycomb and ICS
- new MKCommander HD can run ONLY on Android 3.0 and higher,
- if u have eg. phone with ICS, u can choose between MKC and MKC HD; if u have phone with Gingerbread only MKC is possible
- Why I created this new app? My HTC Sensation upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and I wanted to get maximum of ICS – see limits:
- orig. MKC can use up to 16/24/32/48MB of RAM (depeds on Android version and device), most of time it's enough, but if u try to create tbumbsnails in dir with 1000+ pictures u can ran out of mem, also if u want to try to open big/huge jpeg (9000×8000 pixels, 10MB size), such jpeg must be resampled to lower resolutions +-3000×3000, eg. Map of Tyria)
- MKC HD can use up to 128MB of RAM (on rooted phones even more), so opening huge jpeg (eg. Map of Tyria) in full resolution is no problemo.
- directory bar
- free space is now shown (usefull for rooted phones)
- on click and on long click actions can be assigned
- TextViewer:
- added Search functionality, added switch for read-only <-> read-write (edit functionality)
- u can create new text file
- NOTE: TextViewer is not intended to open large binary data, u can ran out of memory in such case
- Settings:
- u can choose if u wanna keep horiz. toolbar in fullscreen mode
- u can choose text color of toolbar buttons
- u can choose text color and background color of selected objects (this colors are also used for top+bottom statusbar)
- new assignable functions for V+H toolbars
- in MkDir dialog, u can choose if u wanna create empty Folder or file
- fixed bug:
- on ICS in Settings,
- in Properties – after 'file find' file's true location was not correctly displayed
- after leaving directory, directory was not highlighted
- new permisions:
- WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE – seems like tablets with Honeycomb that have internal+external memory(=sd card) need this permission for read+write access to both memory
- MOUNT/UNMOUNT – needed for un/mounting filesystems on rooted phones
0.8.23 (29.3.2012)
- Select dialog – added Size and Date criterium
- Find Files Dialog – added Date criterium

NOTE: I dont have any rooted phone to verify this functionality on….any feedback is highly welcome! - bugfixes – eg. fixed bug then no files were moved if u tried to move them to different filesystems (eg. file from in internal mem to sdcard)
0.8.22 (13.3.2012)
- Storage Analysis(SA) enhanced – graphs added (bright color shows ratio file size / sdcard size, dark color shows ratio file size / current directory size), u can hide graphs by clicking on "Exit SA" on the top
- Image Viewer enhanced – EXIF info, where available, tap on small arrow in the right middle of Image Viewer
- Properties dialog heavily recoded
- Thumbnails are now cached, so when visiting picture folders repeatedly thumbnails are shown much faster(up to 10x) for larger images (only images >100kB are cached)
NOTE: if u wanna recreate thumbnails in current folder: long tap on any object in folder->Other->Recreate thumbs for this folder - Added move to ZIP (= zip and then delete source file)
