Sorting Files into Destinations with Quick Sort

On first launch the app already makes the phone's Downloads folder destination number one, so Quick Sort works out of the box: there is always at least one place to send a file.

There are three ways, use whichever is closest:

• When adding a folder, tick Add to Quick Sort (for a network folder or an SFTP server: Mark for Quick Sort).
• On the main screen or in the file browser, open the resource's three-dots menu and tap Add to Quick Sort.
• Open Settings, the Management tab, the group Quick Sort destinations, and tap + Add. The list offers every resource you can write to that is not a destination yet.

Each new destination gets the next free number and its own color from a set of ten.

In Settings, Management, Quick Sort destinations you see all destinations in their order. For each one:

• Tap the color square to pick another color - handy when "Delete later" should be red and "Keep" green.
• Use the up and down arrows to change its place, and so its number.
• Tap the delete button to take it off the list ("Remove Destination"). The folder and its files stay; it only stops being a destination.

Max destinations (1-30) decides how many destinations you can have; the default is 10.

Open a folder full of unsorted photos and tap the first one. In the player, the command panel shows two rows of colored buttons, one for each destination:

• Copy to.. - puts a copy into that destination and leaves the original where it is.
• Move to.. - moves the file there; it leaves the current folder.

Tap a destination button and the file goes there straight away - no extra question. With Go to next file after copying (on by default) the next photo appears at once, so you can keep a steady pace: look, tap, look, tap. After a move the next file appears by itself, because the moved one has left the folder. The folder you are sorting from never shows a button of its own.

The transfer runs in the background, so even a large video to the home computer does not hold you up.

• Tap the Copy to.. or Move to.. title to fold that row away when you only copy or only move. When both are folded, they sit side by side in one line.
• The buttons share the width of the screen by themselves: a few destinations get wide buttons, many destinations get more rows of smaller ones, and the text shrinks so that every name stays readable - on a phone, a tablet or a TV.
• Each button keeps its destination's color, with dark or light text chosen so the name is always easy to read.

At the end of each row there is a .. button. It opens Android's folder window: pick any folder, and the file is copied or moved there just once, without adding the folder to your destinations.

With a keyboard, a TV remote or a game pad, each visible button gets a small number badge. Keys 1 to 9 and 0 (for the tenth) fire the buttons in order - first all Copy to.. buttons, then the Move to.. buttons. Fold the Copy row away, and the numbers go to the Move buttons. The key badges show the keys you actually assigned, if you changed them in the keyboard settings (see Keyboard, D-pad and Android TV control).

• When the destination already has a file with the same name, the file is left out by default, and nothing at the destination is replaced. Turn on Overwrite existing file when copying or Overwrite existing file when moving in Settings, Management, Copy, move and overwrite behavior if the new file should replace the old one.
• Tapped the wrong button? A short message with Undo appears at the bottom right after the copy or move. Tap it to take the last step back.
