Let's begin the tutorial by exploring the application main features panel.

In DCIM folder, you can find in there those media files that was captured by your own phone camera. It's either picture or video.
The last folder that was featured in the BOOKMARKS panel is Movies folder. From the folder name implies, it is the movies folder found in your phone storage.
Now, let's go already to the main settings of the application.
The Settings was separated into two main features. It is the Sort settings and the Advanced features.
In the Sort settings area, you will find there the Sort by. The setting implies about sorting the folders to be seen in home application panel. The user can change the sorting of the files and folders either Name, Size and Last modified.
Second thing under Sort settings is In ascending order button. By clicking it, it can enable and disable the future. This settings simply means about the order of the files. Every user can select their preference if they will consider ascending or descending order of the files.

After clicking the Theme button, there a pop up message which ask you to select your preference theme. Just select from the 3 theme available, namely Dir, Grayscale and Dark.
After clicking the selected preferred theme, then the mentioned open-source app will directly turn into the selected one. As for me, I select Dark and this is the result.
Another features under Advanced features is the Media library action. This settings is all about hiding media action for folders if enable.
