searching sd card -> not path/foldername
« on: October 19, 2013, 05:29:52 PM »
If I check my SD Card for viruses Avast shows me only the filenames it scans but no paths/names of the folder that are checked right now which are more interesting (atleast for me)

I think that it would be more convenient to prefer showing the path to showing the filename (or show the path+filename)

on my phone some of the filenames are like "1" or "2426524789527497" (probably "1. " so no real extension) -> maybe some files of games/apps but I don't know exactly because Avast doesn't show me the path

hopefully this will be added to avast mobile in future updates ;D

You can check the logfile after the scanning.

Hi,

I don't think we'll add full paths into the UI since there is hardly any space for that (and I don't think having the path on 3+ lines would help anything since the message is not shown for all the files on SD card anyway - a lot of files are scanned in a short amount of time and displaying them all would not only slow down the scanning process a lot, but would drain your battery as well).
