A doubt about permissions from a new user

Post by *nautel »

Hello,
I've recently started using Total Commander on Android 13 and I have a couple of doubts:
how are access permissions handled? I can't see anything granted for the app.
And, connected to this, I believe I granted access to the app list by mistake: is there a way to
un-grant it?

Sorry if this sounds like nitpicking, but by default I try to stay safe.

Best regards

Total Commender doesn't request full access to the app list, only to a subset of apps which have specific intents defined (e.g. MAIN, VIEW, EDIT etc.). Apps don't need to ask for permissions to get such a subset of apps.

Thanks. Then it must have been some other thing that I agreed to.

TC does not use the Android permission system to get confirmation from the user to access the list of apps. However, it asks by itself for permission to access this list and stores that internally.
