Is there a FAQ?

Is Aves a file manager?

No. Aves is a gallery app, not a file manager app. The difference is important when it comes to user permissions and how the app can access files. As a gallery app, Aves can only access media content that is publicly available on your device, and nothing else.

Can Aves display media inside hidden folders?

No. Media inside hidden folders is not publicly available media content. It can be accessed by file manager apps, but Aves is not a file manager.

Can I change the size of thumbnails?

Yes. Use the pinch-to-zoom gesture on a thumbnail.

What is safe mode?

The safe mode is not useful to regular users. The shortcut to launch the app in safe mode is useful to debug issues related to cataloguing, which may crash the app in some cases. In safe mode, the app launches without cataloguing, so the user can open the app and export logs.
