Q: Is there a desktop version of B-Folders to sync with?
A: It is in the forge and will be available very soon. Stay tuned!
Q: How can I move items?
A: Moving items between folders and reordering items in a folder is
performed in the same Cut-Paste approach common for computer software.
Touch and hold an item and choose Cut from the context menu,
then touch and hold an item beside which you want to move the first
item and choose either Paste before or Paste after from
the context menu.
Q: I cannot recall my password. How can I recover or reset it?
A: There is no way to recover or reset passwords. B-Folders uses an
extremely strong, contemporary, government-grade encryption algorithm
AES-256 and since we use an open-source encryption library it is
certain that there is no backdoor implemented. You have two options -
to create a new repository by deleting the current one or to restore an
old backup that was created with a old password that you can recall.
Q: Are backups encrypted?
A: Yes, backups are encrypted with the password of use at the time
of creation. Make sure you retain old passwords in case you need to
restore old backups.
Q: What is this number in the name of the backup?
A: The date of creation is encoded in the name of the backup file
in the following format - YYMMDD.
Q: Why do I have to enter my password so often?
A: If you are not finished using B-Folders, but you want to switch
to other application or the home screen, use the HOME button instead of
the BACK button. Pressing BACK button in Android application is
considered as intent to terminate the current activity, while the HOME
button is the means to switch between applications without terminating
current activities. Further, you can increase the inactivity auto close
timeout in cause you make big pauses while using B-Folders.
Q: Why do I see a pop-up saying "B-Folders database closed"?
A: This is an non-intrusive indication that your database has been
closed either for inactivity or for pressing the BACK button.
Q: Where is my database located?
A: Your database is stored in the internal phone memory. Contrary,
backups are stored on the SD memory card which is a physically
different storage medium. This separation allows to restore your
database in case of phone malfunction or defect.
