Description

I have two Android tablets (Both installed Amaze file manager 3.3.4, via Google Play):

  1. [left] ASUS ZenPad 3s 10 (P027), resolution = (1536, 2048), width / height ratio = 0.75
  2. [right] Sansumg Galaxy Tab S6 (SM-T860), resolution = (1600, 2560), width / height ratio = 0.625

The previous one (ZenPad) has smaller resolution, but can always show the sidebar permantely; while the later one has larger resolution, but can't show like that, very inconvenient for a tablet:

BTW, the behavior of mouse right clicking on file should be showing the menu of it instead of back to last page, I think.

Research direction
Investigate the current logic for showing the sidebar in the tablet layout. Look at the relevant layout files (e.g., activity main.xml) and the code that decides whether to show the drawer permanently. The issue mentions two different resolutions; check if there's a minimum width qualifier being used. Consider using sw600dp or sw720dp to differentiate between tablets. Review the comments for any hints about expected behavior.
