About the new permission "SuperUser":
This permission is now requested to make Total Commander work better on rooted devices. It tells the SuperUser app that Total Commander supports root functions. It has no effect if your device is not rooted. Root functions allow Total Commander to write to system folders like /system or /data. You will be warned before anything is written if the partition is write protected.

Excellent work. Ever since I found out a certain other file explorer was removed for fraud, I've been having to find an alternative. Just as I thought I would never find one as good, I find this app. Being familiar with this type of UI, I didn't find it difficult to use at all, and it has the features I'd expect and then some! Truly a hallmark of Android File Explorers, keep it up C. Ghisler! I'll definitely reccommend this app to anyone that needs a file explorer in the future.

This has been my go-to file management app for awhile now. I just add an shortcut to the downloads file within the app to my homescreen, which also helps on my devices that don't come with a native downloads app you can just add from the app drawer. I especially like that I can change the privacy/accessibility settings for each of my files right from the app. My only complaint is there isn't a way to 'share' a file so I can send/save them to Dropbox or Google Drive. Then it would be perfect. =)

USE THIS APP! I think TCmd is very good. I've been using it for years. It is incredibly robust but not entirely inuitive, in my experience. The help file could be improved by better search matching. It seems to currently be a simple text search. I discovered 'drag and drop' by mistake; it did not appear when I searched for 'move file'. Adding images to help will also be useful for users. Also, including a quick link to Help as a '?' icon on the top nav would be a time saving shortcut.
