Components

lrkFM is a file managing app, it allow the opportunity to view files saved both on internal storage and sdcard of various devices.
Many features are still needed to be embedded to the app, while going through the usage of this app. I realised that some features could also be included to the app to enhance it usage and capability to meet users needs. Features like themes, security, grid view and many more which would be discussed in the proposal below.

Proposal

I would like to discuss on this components or part or features to be included one after the other then show reference to some app that utilizes this feature and have them working well. Detailed image or screenshot are produced in the mockups below on where and how the features could be included.

  1. Themes:this is an option that can be included on the menu option of the application. Right under the settings options. Or could also be included in the settings pop up.

  2. Security or lock:this could be included in the settings option right below the general settings or could be embedded in advance settings in the settings menu.

  3. Search: search could be included anywhere on the top bar of the app. Where it could be easily accessed and used.

  4. Grid view:this could be included on the menu option located at the top right corner of the app.

  5. Sort by:it can be located somewhere below the grid menu option at the menu option of the app.

  6. Compress:it presense can be viewed when any folder is been long pressed on. Or when a menu option beside the folder is been selected. Inclusion could be added to options like copy, paste, share, cut, and so on.

Hi @abdulqudus thank you for the contribution.

This kind of features are considered general / trivial . contributions on this category need to be original/unique to have great impact on the open source community .

why original/unique features : Because, before starts coding, the developer study and analyze similar/alternative apps, so it's pretty sure that the developer knows the basic (trivial) features.
