Can someone help me figure out what this means in ES File Explorer? I go to the app manager and in the toolbar, there is an icon with three stars (white / red / green). Pressing the button toggles between the following:

All three (white / red / green) - I guess this lists every app, regardless of if it is backed up or not.

White - lists apps that are not backed up

Red - ???

Green - lists apps that are backed up


Is what I wrote above correct? What does the Red start indicate?
 
Quoted from Help Center:
White: No Copy in backup
Green: Have Copy in backup
Red: Have a copy, version lower than current.
 
Thanks, I guess I missed that in the help center when I was looking through it.

One more thing I haven't been able to find. When I first launch the app, there is a button on the toolbar with two wrenches. That lest me bring up the app manager, etc. There are a few dots under the button and one is highlighted. What does that represent?
 
That button can be programmed (long press it) to start app manager or any of the other managers. I think whatever dot is lit is just another indication (other than the icon) of what manager the button is programmed for.

With the tools icon showing and the last dot lit, its set to just bring up the general "managers" dialog where you can pick from any of them. I've redone mine to open just app manager on press because app manager is the only one of those I use.

Ah, thanks. I never thought of long pressing on a toolbar button.
