Sometimes size does matter

Today I have released the version 1.5.0 of PowerGrasp which has better support for tablets. Of course, it ran on tablets before, didn't it? But that didn't satisfy me. I was using PowerGrasp on the tablet and thought, some things are off. Where is the action bar support? Why are the panels placed on top? They are hard to reach.

Not anymore. So there you have it, now the application has more convenient placement of panels, portrait orientation no longer uses view pager since the screen is already large enough.

Another thought I had, lists don't fully utilize the space available on the screen. This is addressed now, too, with the new icons view. This view is also available on smartphones, so this update is not only for the tablets.

Also, in the previous version, which I haven't written about, I've made a feature which enables to send me donations. A donation of any size will turn off the ads permanently. Oh, and also they, of course, keep me motivated to produce new versions of PowerGrasp.

Right now we have 36 hundred installs, thank you guys! More features are coming...

    1. Да, в планах это есть. А почему не удалось найти почту? Она же есть в информации о разработчике на Google Play.

  3. Fantastic app on my Nexus 7! Thank you so much.
    My only feedback is the black text on the nice blue buttons is hard to read, white or yellow would be easier to read. Love the dark theme though. Thanks again.

    1. Hi, tekrytor,

      It's great that you like the app. Now that you mention the text color, I will try to experiment with this and see what works best. I won't promise anything, though, sometimes you think something will be good, but when you make it, it's not.

  4. I've just downloaded your utility. Thank you for providing us with an important utility that has everything needed for proper file management. I've noticed, at least in my use, that the date of the "default storage device" in my case: /mnt/sdcard keeps showing the wrong date of "31 Dec 1969 19:00:00." I do not know if that is your birthday, but can you please fix that. Also, can you include the size of folders under "Property.'

    1. No, this is not my birthday, this is the time that shows when the file doesn't have any last modification date. This will be fixed in the next version. As for the folder size, I will make it too, but I don't know exactly when.
