S40 Application: FileExplorer v3.0 alpha

FileExplorer v3.0 alpha





FileExplorer is a program for managing files on the phone and memory card.


Current features include hiding/unhiding of folders and files, password protected access to the program and copying and moving files.


It also features a slideshow viewer and image viewer. Will NOT open other files except jpg and png. This is NOT the final version. Its a pre-release build.



IMPORTANT Settings before running FileExplorer:



After FileExplorer has been installed you'll need to configure the Access Permissions to allow FileExplorer to access the phone local file system and the internet. How this is done depends on your phone. Please read the below section for instructions for your phone type.


Configuring Access Permissions for FileExplorer



Sony Ericsson phones:



Go to either Applications or Games (depending on where you installed FileExplorer). Highlight FileExplorer, but instead of opening it, press More->Permissions.


Select Read User Data and set the access permissions to "Ask once" or "Ask Always". Select Write User Data and set the access permissions to "Ask once" or "Ask Always".

What's new in this release:



· Shows hidden files and folders with separate icons than the normal ones.
· Improved the support for Sony Ericsson phones. Should work but haven't tested though. Do send feedback
· Added support for zip files and nokia themes but it's under work and will not work.
· Changed the UI a bit adding a shortcut to jump directly to a path
· Added a torch with different colors. The flashlight doesn't work yet.
· Added Nokia Theme creator UI. Still under development.
· Support for zipping files and upzipping them. Working on them. To get torch which remains ON permanently press the UP arrow which changes the brightness level.
