First of all, I want to thank you for creating such an excellent file manager. I have tried several others FOSS alternatives like Amaze, Material Files, and Prism, but honestly, none of them come close to NFile.
Your app has everything: a modern, polished, and highly customizable aesthetic, a blazing-fast search engine, and adjustable folder sizes. I especially appreciate the clear file paths for better navigation and having basic actions like "Copy" and "Paste" readily available, unlike other apps that hide these essential functions behind a three-dot menu.
It is an incredible app that perfectly covers my needs. However, I have two feature requests—both related to the Recycle Bin—that I believe would make the user experience even better:
1. Add the Recycle Bin to "Quick Categories"
It would be fantastic if the Recycle Bin were more visible by adding a native direct access to the "Quick Categories" section (alongside APKs, Documents, Music, etc.) or even add it to its own section below the “Quick categories” section. I tried adding the folder manually (via customize shortcuts), but the assigned icon isn't quite fitting for a trash bin, and it displays the long ".nfile_trash" name, which isn't very intuitive. A native, well-integrated shortcut there would be awesome.
2. Media Thumbnails inside the Recycle Bin
Currently, when checking the Recycle Bin, deleted images and videos only show a generic file icon. Since many media files have generic names, it is very difficult to know what was actually deleted without restoring it first. It would be incredibly useful if the app displayed a thumbnail/preview for deleted media files right inside the trash, similar to how the Amaze app handles it.
Bonus Suggestion: F-Droid
As a side note, I would be nice publishing NFile on F-Droid. I truly believe this would give the app the much wider visibility and recognition it deserves!
Aside from these two minor details regarding the recycle bin, the app is absolutely phenomenal. Thank you again for your hard work and for sharing this amazing project.
