What I've been doing is putting my entire roms repository onto the card in a "backup" folder and just copying over the 2 or 3 games I am currently playing to the real roms folder. This works much better also because I no longer have to sift through 45 bazillion games to get to the one I want and the games are all still there if I ever do want to switch them up.
I find the option to delete the games also useful. This can be done, for example, in the menu as an additional point to 'Restart' and 'Play / Resume'. For example, I could not play many games in my childhood, so I do not know which ones are good and which are bad ones. On the PC, I do not want to try this.
I need this too, few basic file manage functions
I'd love a really simple file manager that would allow me to simply move roms between folders. For now, I keep entire romsets in a separate folder and then move the ones that I want to play in the correct folder. I carry a small USB-C microsd card reader on a keychain and use that connected to my phone to move roms when needed. Would be great to have a built in file manager right on the odroid go to handle this without having to swap out the microsd card.
I agree there is a need for file management. However, I think it should be a stand alone application rather than part of the menu. This would eliminate the need for other applications to also implement file management.
I have found Midnight Commander to be a nice file manager for consoles in the past. Perhaps this could be ported over. https://midnight-commander.org On Sun, 2 Sep 2018 at 18:13, OtherCrashOverride notifications@github.com wrote:

That was actually my first thought too. However, not having a keyboard is an obstacle to implementing existing file managers.
I was just thinking a very simple UI to move or delete files (not rename them), so no keyboard needed. There is a simple file manager included on my GCW Zero that does basic move / delete using just the dpad and buttons, I can't remember the name but I'll check when I'm back home.
@shar33f It's 'Dingux Commander'. Here's the site for it: http://beyondds.free.fr/index.php?Dingoo-dinguxcommander
Not sure if it's opensource or not.
Ah yes @asiag0 that's the one! The source code is on the same link you provided :)
Could also try a port of FBI from the 3DS since that lacks keyboard yet can delete, move and copy files just from A and B plus the D-Pad
Some games are just bad games. I'd like to delete unwanted games.
