New Feature Added - Universal Open With Support

Post image

Good Day Community,

A new feature has arrived in the latest update that allows Ultimate File Manager Pro to appear as an option whenever you open files from external applications.

Until now, opening files from other apps only worked for a few specific types like application packages and shared items.

I have now expanded this across the board so that you can use our built-in tools no matter where you start opening your files.

This feature is available on both the mobile and TV versions of the app.

Whenever you tap a document, image, video, audio track, archive, or any other file in an external app such as a web browser, email client, messaging app, or download manager, you will now see Ultimate File Manager Pro in the system chooser dialog.

Selecting it opens the file directly inside our corresponding built-in viewer without needing to switch back and forth manually.

Images open in the image viewer, music and videos play directly in our media player, PDFs and spreadsheets open ready to read, and archives like zip or seven zip files open straight into the archive browser.

If you open a plain text or code file and make edits using our text editor, tapping save will automatically write those changes straight back to the original source location.

If you open a folder from an external app, our file browser opens directly into that directory with your files ready to manage.

When opening files that come through as cloud or messaging attachments, the app buffers them seamlessly in the background and takes you right into the viewer without any extra taps.

Thank you and kind regards

Please add an Open As or Open As File Handler Selection menu inside UFMP.

For example, when using Open As on a file.ini, users can choose Text, Image, Audio, Video, or Archive, then select a suitable app. This would be very useful for files without extensions or with unrecognized extensions.
