Open bookmarks as root directory

Post by *Samuel »

I would like to open my bookmark folders as a root directory.

Currently if I open my external sd card ("/mnt/sdcard/external_sd") and then want to go back I would like to go to the home menu instead of the normal sdcard, the mnt folder and the root of the file system. My normal sdcard would be ok but I never use the mnt folder and the root of the file system.

Perhaps you could support a syntax like: "/mnt//sdcard/external_sd" to prevent the user from reaching the mnt folder by going back (instead he is redirected to the menu.) This "/mnt/sdcard//external_sd" would also prevent to reach the sdcard folder.

Some other user has also suggested to make /mnt/sdcard the root instead of / on not rooted devices. Unfortunately I couldn't find a (siltent) way yet to detect whether a device is rooted or not...

Could you make it an option instead?

Any chance for the "specify-root-dynamically-for-each-bookmark-feature" described in the first post? :-)

Sorry, that would be too complex - not even the PC version can do that...

There is somewhat similar with locked tabs.
Anyway the option would be great. Thanks.
