Select mode now stays active, making it easier to choose multiple files or folders with simple taps. Archive browsing now supports extracting only selected items instead of the whole archive. Pane widths can now be adjusted (drag the divider between the two panes left or right), with an option in Settings to reset them to the standard layout.

Added content difference hints in Folder Compare, same-name files are now flagged when their file sizes differ. Also added an optional content check for matched files, so you can confirm whether files are identical or different. Included an export feature for Folder Compare reports, making it easy to share or save comparison results. Small refinements for a clearer, more useful compare workflow.

Added statistics with device storage information in the free version and extended storage and pane statistics in the pro tier.
