Hide Current Folder not asking for PIN

Jawomo

I can select "hide folder" by accessing the three dot menu in upper right. But i can access the content and see the folder anyways afterwards? Doesnt make sense to me. Also it doesnt ask for any PIN?

Expected workflow to hide:
1. Open folder, and select Hide option in menu.
2. Enter PIN to verify
3. Folder and files inside are now hidden from standard skybox file browser

Expected workflow to show:
1. Open the "Hidden folders" section in main menu skybox
2. Enter PIN to get access
3. See and browser hidden files and folders

Using latest beta release. Renaming "Hide folder" in "Protect folder" or "Make folder private" would also be more intuitive. The section in main menu could then be e.g."Private Videos"

Please fix this issue and allow protecting SMB shares also. Would be great, thnaks!

Once you make the folder hidden, please go to the "Display Setting" (on the upper left corner of the main tab, opposite to the wrench icon), and close the "Show Hidden Files" button. You will then be required to put into PIN codes and the files will be hidden afterwards.
Regarding to apply the Hide feature for SMB shares, do you know any other apps that supports this feature? If so, please let us know so we could study on how we could add the feature.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Yum Ok, thanks for the guidance!

The whole hide files concept is pretty confusing to be honest.
I would like to send you a concept how hidden files feature could be integrated in UI in a simple way.

Regarding SMB hide feature impelmentation the app KODI can do this. But what they are doing its a little too much i guess. Im into app development (symbian, android) for more than 12 years now and i can think of an easy implementation of the SMB hide feature.

Can i send you an email? How could i contact you to share?
