   Hi Carlos,   
      
   As you're aware, I've tested all the free Android file managers, such that   
   I  have both Total Commander & Ghost Commander installed. As I recall,   
   Christian Ghisler wrote the former while the latter is open source stuff.   
      
   Since I scrape the Google Play Store repository anonymously (without   
   logging in) I can see that Total Commander still exists in the repo.   
       
      
   However, I do see that the Google Play version of Ghost Commander is gone.   
       
      
   But you can see from my screenshots I have Ghost Commander installed.   
   It sees *both* the Volume Name Windows formatted, plus the cryptic name.   
       
      
   BTW, my version of Ghost Commander is v1.62.3 and when I click on the Help   
   from inside of that app, it takes me to that URL so it's legitimate.   
       
      
   That same help inside the app says the source code is located here:   
       
      
   At that sourceforge site is a green "DOWNLOAD" button which goes to   
       
      
   That seemed to work when I tested it just now from Windows:   
       
    Name: Ghost Commander 1.64.1b2.apk   
    Size: 5005025 bytes (4887 KiB)   
    SHA256: B574F966938A74B9EBF9210E803DBF0856087C65DEF5E63543A120BC3A28B7B5   
      
   What I do NOT understand is why I see *both* the 0000-0001 that Windows   
   formatted and a crytic AAAA-BBBB style identifier (which I can presume was   
   the original label name).   
      
   How can there be two volume labels to the same sdcard in Android?
