Probably quinoid-v0-0-6-190217a.apk deserves to be in it's own release, but 
there's a lot that isn't settled yet. It has a new look, with "System 
Explorer" now activated through the "+" icon and "File Explorer" activated 
though the overflow menu. On the new overflow menu is also a download 
option, that is meant to download an empty TW from tiddlywiki.com. This is 
in preparation for offering users the chance to quickly load up on 
well-known and crafted TW files.

It's testing on the download functionality that interests me. I'm only able 
to test through emulators at the moment, and they give me inconsistent 
information on multiple levels. One emulator works great. Another gives the 
"OK", but then says there's something wrong with the file system, and then 
chooses to put the file somewhere else and with a nonsensical name.

What I'm trying to do is to save to a sub-directory of the user's *external 
*download directory. This way the user can be in charge of deleting and 
cleaning up. If people are willing to test, they should have an android 
with an external card, preferably with an existing "Download" directory. 
After running the download menu option, the new item should appear in your 
browse list. Unfortunately, at least on one emulator, it's possible that it 
will instead write to the download directory of the internal card, using a 
name that won't even look like a standard html file name. I don't know if 
this is for real, or just an anomaly of the emulator. 

If you have a slow connection and have to log out of quinoid before the 
download is complete, then it's possible that the download will complete 
later but not appear in your list. In my tests, with WiFi, this wasn't a 
problem as the download was almost instantaneous. There's a bunch more 
coding I would have to do to prevent the non-listed download situation. But 
first I want to know how well the downloading works at all. It's another 
question whether I should prevent downloads except when connected to WiFi. 
Possibly a user configuration.

@Tony  -- I added some additional geo permissions to the v0.0.6 update. 
Curious if that made your geo-json file work any better. These additional 
permissions may be why TT was getting additional quizzing by the 
PlayProtect system.

Thanks everyone -- be sure to backup and take precautions if you try the 
release!
