v3.61 unable to navigate dirs on Tesco Hudl (feature request)

[Arjay]

Firstly thank you for Total Commander.


Background:

The English supermarket chain, Tesco had a range of tablets branded as Hudl. On the "Hello" setup screen they lockdown the tablet and referenced a now shutdown server. Everything currently online says don't factory eset the tablet (amusingly, I read that after I did - haha).

The good news is possible to get around all of that and I have side loaded Firefox, Total Commander and various other things onto it. I have almost completed that work, which I plan to then share online (probably YouTube).


Total Commander navigation issue

The issue l have is that currently I am unable to navigate Total Commander's main dialogue (buttons/menus at the top and bottom work, e.g. create new folder or 3 dots to to go into settings) but I am unable to say click onto "Internal Share Storage" or "Downloaded files" for example.


Navigation part workaround / feature request

Using a Bluetooth mouse on the device is supported (button pointer currently hidden lol) and it is possible to navigate via a Bluetooth keyboard.

My work is still work in progress, but it would be useful if it was possible to navigate the main window in another way. So I would say this falls more into a feature request than a bug, but helpful to those of us unlocking devices.

Thanks again for a great app which I intend to send some support, even though I no longer use Windows.

Thank you,

Richard

You can choose "Full screen" in the main settings to turn off the top bar. This will add a button with 3 dots to the lower bar which allows you to open the top menu from there.
