How do I open a directory on the phone?

[soren]

I’m trying to use the Files app on L5. Latest updates installed.

Tapping on the folder selects it.
Double-tapping has no action
Pressing it longer opens a pop up menu that has an Open option, but the menu disappears as soon as I release finger from the screen.

I can’t figure out a way to open a folder (or a file) using the touch screen. I work around using the keyboard but it’s not overly convenient.

Inside Pictures directory: [image] Drop-down menus: [image] However, the Preferences sub-menu does not fit the screen at all; you have to reduce scale all the way down to see all the options. (Advantage goes to Nautilus here.) If you don’t need to adjust Preferences very often, then it works great, and…

Portafolio looks nice, I’ve installed it and it’s great for local browsing. It doesn’t have remote connections but it’s the best I’ve seen for Librem anyway. Thanks @carlosgonz

Nemo does remote directories but is very hit and miss compared to Portafolio. Sometimes I click and it opens, sometimes not, typical Gnome quality software. But thanks anyway, it’s a the best alternative so far for when I want to access a remote file system.
