Thanks for your feedback. However, there are a few things to improve so we can start processing it :

1/ What's the relationship between the title and the description of your issue ? They seem unrelated

2/ The "allow deleting external content" setting just does what it says : it unlocks the delete action in the library screen. That setting doesn't delete anything when enabled. I think you forgot to tell us all the steps you took. Could you please be more precise / add a step-by-step walkthrough and/or screenshots ?

Thanks in advance~

Advice : -Use warning pop up on "Allowing deleting on external content. Example : Warning u will lost all your data on external library press yes to proceed

-Allow redownload book from scratch or missing part on book (Of there's select all or selected book much better).

Sometimes i got issues while book finished downlading it stills on library instead on Error Library

I appreciate the effort, but I have to say your report is very confusing. I have not the slightest idea of what you did 1/ with Hentoid, 2/ with your file manager and 3/ with the Android app settings.

Last but not least, I'm not sure you have the correct understanding of what the external library feature is. We've created a new page dedicated to that : https://github.com/avluis/Hentoid/wiki/Using-the-external-library

Onto the extra info :

Use warning pop up on "Allowing deleting on external content. Example : Warning u will lost all your data on external library press yes to proceed

Once again, unchecking that setting does not have any effect on your files ! You may review the code if you fancy. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd suspect one the many steps you previously took.

Allow redownload book from scratch or missing part on book (Of there's select all or selected book much better).

I don't understand that part. That feature is already there. And it does not work for non-Hentoid external books, as the app has no clue about where the book has been downloaded from.

Sometimes i got issues while book finished downlading it stills on library instead on Error Library

That's probably a display issue. Is it solved when restarting the app ?

I think it's bug on a few phone there's a few book can't be redownloaded from scratch but if it's already on library and u press "Download from scratch" purging book willl stuck and nothing happends
