I’m looking for a file manager or gallery app that will let me browse to particular directories easily (prefer a file manager interface for this), look at images I find in them, and (this seems to be the really hard part) easily rename them while I’m looking at them. I don’t want a conventional gallery app that just presents one huge list of all the folders it found anywhere on my device, as there can be several with the same name, and it’s tedious to figure out what directory each one is under. I need to be able to go to a particular directory, look at the images within, and rename them while looking at them - the quicker & easier the better.
I personally use Aves Libre. It does let you easily rename files while you are looking at them (three dots menu, click rename), and if you set the default navigation view to “explorer”, you can see folder structure!!!
Alternatively, if you don’t want that to be enabled by default, you just go to the sidebar and click on “explorer”. There’s other options too, like “all collection” (which is normal gallery mode with all images), album view, tag view, and countries view (if there is location data in your photos)
starting page of explorer mode for me (when you go into the subfoldere you see a list of folders that contain images, and if you click the album-looking icon, you view an image gallery of photos within a folder.
