File manager

Leaf includes a file manager for working with files directly on the device. It uses a classic two-pane layout: two folders side by side, so you can copy and move things from one to the other.

Leaf's two-pane file manager: a folder of files on the left, a folder of NES box-art images with thumbnail previews on the right, and file sizes along the bottom

Open the file manager from the Apps tab. One pane is active at a time.

  • Up / Down - move the cursor.
  • A - open the highlighted folder or file.
  • B - go up to the parent folder.
  • L1 / R1 - page up and down through long lists.
  • Select - mark items (for acting on several at once).
  • X opens actions on the selected item or items: copy, move, rename, delete, and disk-usage info. Copy and move use the other pane as the destination.
  • Y opens a menu for things like select all, make a new folder, disk space, and quitting.

It can also view images and edit text files. Take care with delete: there is no recycle bin, so removed files are gone.
