Opens the files app which shows all files that were recently downloaded from any app to the file system.

The meme says saved, not just download.

  1. Open Recorder app.
  2. Record and press save.
  3. Open Files app.
  4. The file is not in recent.
  5. The file is not in audio.

Delete this bullshit.

Oh, so I am not alone. Good to know, but damn what a crap of "software"

[–] StereoCode@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It literally does show up under recent for me. I used the screen recorder built in stock and it shows up as a recent file. Did you even try to do this exact thing?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It's an audio recording app, not a screen recording app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.recorder

That's why I said look under audio instead of video.

Either way, I edited it to be specific about what apps I am using.

Ok I see the confusion, on your end. You assume this file is being saved to the global FS and this app has its own resources. So to save it globally you have to share it to the files app. i get that's confusing to normies. But it took me 20 seconds to figure it out. I'm guessing chatgpt didn't give the answer.

I'm sorry, did you or did you not say the files app just shows everything? Does the meme imply that finding files on Android is difficult? Did you not just explain something extremely counterintuitive that's contradictory to your own first post? 🙄

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

mine doesn't do that. also, what if you're looking for a file that's older than three weeks old? should I go fuck myself then?

[–] raef@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You could use a different file manager. And there's a few places I would look for files : downloads, pictures, etc, or in a folder named for the app under one of those places

That's like piling all your paperwork on your office desk in a giant tower in the order they came in and arguing that's just as good as sorting them into files and putting them in the cabinet.

[–] StereoCode@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Is this your first file system? It literally does sort it into "videos" if I have a video or "images" if it's an image. What do you crack heads want it to do?

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Exactly the fucking following: put my fucking files in the directories I fucking created for my fucking files, show me the fucking file system the way it fucking looks when traversed by fucking ls

[–] StereoCode@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I'm sorry I don't know how to traverse the FS by fucking. Can you show me ;)

Tell me you don't understand what you're talking about without saying you don't understand what you're talking about.

[–] StereoCode@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I'm sorry you're android illiterate.
