Open file explorer on startup

The file explorer in MPE is by far the best file transfer implementation over Wifi on Android. Is there a way to automatically open the file explorer (maybe even at a specified folder) when the program starts? The "Start page" options in the settings don't include the file explorer, so this would be a simple enough feature request. Alternatively, can this be done with a startup parameter? Are these parameters documented somewhere (if any exist)?

No, this starting option does not exist
But see => In the forum => FAQ => Tweaks in MyPhoneExplorer

With MPE Version 2.0 it is now possible to open a specific folder with one click using the favorites function

Thanks, making bookmarks for specific folders is quite useful. It would be great to add the file explorer as a startup option in a future release though.

Wow, didn't expect an implementation so soon :) - thanks!

However, there seems to be a small bug with the new "start page -> files" option: After the program starts and connects to the phone, it shows the files window but it is empty. Only after I click on "files" in the left menu bar (see red box) twice to do a compact/expand cycle, it refreshes the files window and shows the files root (internal storage etc.). The phone is a Samsung S22 Ultra and the Android app version is 2.8.

MyPhoneExplorer has to cache the root folders first.
After the second launch it should work as expected.

Hi, I cannot find this feature (i mean, bookmarking a specific file system folder, to jump into it in file explorer view) anywhere, can someone point out to the specific place where it's mentioned?

BTW, there are some non translated expressions there, see image.

The bookmark action is called "Show directory", then you can browse for the specific folder. Don't know how it's called in Spanish, but in your incomplete translation (in your screenshot) it's still in English.

Thanks mate, it was less than intuitive to find that.
BTW, that's also non translated,
"Show directory" == "mostrar carpeta" in spanish
and "Show dial window" == "mostrar ventana de marcación".
(that's for FJ)
