I wonder if there is any fingerfriendly filebrowser available or if somecould programm one...
I thought of something like PocketCM just for the file-system...
yes there is some nice software to read the internet page, BDF files, documents and even pictures and it is fingerfriendly browser called "picsel browser, i am not sure if it is allowed for me to put the link here but i can send it your email so just give me your email
picsel browser only zooms and pans, it doesnt scroll through files like pocketcm. Some ROM's have finger friendly file browser incorporated in them so im sure they could program up an app to do it
For file browser try Totalcmd, if you can't find it tell me, also, I want to know if I can find photolab anywhere cause in the official site there is no download

?? total commander does not scroll like PocketCM, its just a file browser/Reg editor
No, you can scroll like PocketCM, go to Show>Large Icons oh, you might be right cause I have TouchFlo, but give a try
on a touchflo enabled device you could try resco explorer. with the big icons view you can use your thumbs to navigate through the folders.

TotalCommander also has a big icons view that works well with touchflo enabled device. Works for me anyway!
I wonder, do you need to use a file explorer than often and in such places where you can't use your stylus?
If it was as easy as using pcm and had filters in like pcm, all cabs, all mp3, all .exe, etc. etc. with the ability to set a default action, I would use it more than anything.

Well you'll use it because you don't have better application for specific task, don't you think?
listing mp3 won't be as good as a good player
listing cab ... you isntall app that often?
listing exe, you'll probably need a launcher.
etc...

I do seem to install quite a few cabs. My examples were not the best. The thing for me tene with your software is it is so satisfying to use. I love the feedback it gives me and the whole feel of it. I guess that is what I want everywhere on my orbit, file explorers always seem cluttered, ugly and filled with tiny little icons that I often make a bad selection. I think I use my file explorer more than my contacts at the moment, but I hardly have any mates!
Picsel File Viewer is pretty hot. if someone gets it, please post it because i REALLY want it
try out spb pocket plus v.4

Hi there,
I have used Spb Pocket Plus in the past and one feature I really liked was that it tweaked the default File Explorer so that filename extensions are displayed.
I no longer use Pocket Plus but I really want to be able to see filename extensions. I have tried Total Commander as a replacement but it is not a seamless replacement. The same goes for Resco. I would prefer to avoid using additional software to save on space.
I assume that Spb must have simply tweaked the File Explorer application or WM2003SE simply by creating or amending a registry entry. Does anyone know how they do it? I'd really like to get this functionality back without having the overhead of Pocket Plus on my device.
You could use resco file explorer it will allow you to show the files extensions..

Can't you read? He specifically doesn't want to use Resco because again, it doesn't integrate with the File Explorer in the way that SPB Pocket Plus does.
I'll have a quick dig around in the registry for you, don't hold your breath as I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for, but I'll have a look anyway, I might come across it (I kinda half-know what to look for, I'll definitely know what it is when I come across it )

Not had much luck so far, it must be a shell extension which P+ adds... I'll keep on doing some research, as I'd quite like it too.

Hi Peterw,
I do understand your point in space saving. Resco file-explorer combined with registry & ftp add-ons takes around 1Mb to install, but you can easily install it in the storage folder. Guess you know already that resco gives you much more than file-extensions only. Personally I like it, I know it's a matter of taste & maybe BIG Storage.
If I happen to stumble around a registry key to solve it, I'll let you know.
regards, M
Hi
Since I use my S110 one thing annoys me to deat. I use Wisbar and this closes programs instead of minimizing them. Now, when I click on a *.mid or *.wav that sluggish album program needs to start up and that takes ages. On my old iPAQ (that lacked that album) those files where played by the explorer directly (maybe a small dll, don't know) and that was way faster, there was no delay whatsoever and the album takes its sweet time to come up.
So I'd like to know if there is a way to change the fily type association for the audio files from the album to that smaller player (that is included in WM2003, just don't know the name)?
Please help.
there is a little program called myExtensions available for free, and lets you choose the whatever program you wish for a certain extension..
http://www.badschwii.com/
you can also use Resco File Explorer... use ( open with ) ..
if both combined together.. you'll get very good results :wink:
cheers
Ok thanks, that looks promising. I'll check that out asap.
Ok, that tool worked perfectly. All set and done. Nice, thanks again.
Glad I helped
My searching on these wasn't fruitful, maybe I wasn't specific enough
Could someone please tell me how to make a Shortcut (actually it's for ozVGA at the moment)?
Also, what software do I need to do screen captures like those uploaded by users of ozVGA in real VGA mode?
Many thanks for your patience.
I use Remote Spy that comes with the Visual Studio Development Tools, but you can use Magic SS for screenshots. Not sure if it works in VGA but should do I guess:
http://www.louterrailloune.com/index_old.php?page=magicss
Shortcuts: use gsfinder, copy the file you want to shortcut, choose the edit menu and choose paste shortcut.

VJ, Many thanks. I downloaded Magic SS and it works a treat even at real VGA resolution.
I took a look at gsfinder but didn't feel like it would run on WM2005. After a closer look I found that Total Commander which I already have and sure enough I have made my shortcuts using that.
Many thanks
A Happy New Year to All
Hey, gsfinder works s'perb on WM5. Total Commander is great as well (so I hear), but I'm a gsfinder man...
Glad you got things sorted. Show us your screenshots!
V
Hmmnn..I tried, but not allowed to attach .bmp
Seems Magic SS only creates bitmaps :-(
True, but convert to jpg first.
Worst case,on your PC, drag the bitmap into Internet Explorer, choose save image as and save as jpg. Otherwise use a graphic converter.

Here are a few jpegs..
i have been using magicss on my shadow and it works like a charm, but for the life of me i cant get it to work on my wing/herald, i know it should it came with the rom im using anyone know what i need to do??
im kinda dumb sometimes figured itout, duh lol
I want to be able to select my video and music from the today screen . Is there a way I can put a short cut there ?
At the moment I have to select start,pictures & videos,my docs, videos and scroll to the file I want to play.
Maybe I need to install a jukebox or something huh?
You need either a launcher (like iLauncher) today plug-in or something like WisBar Advanced 2 & WA Desktop.
equally you can use PHMTrayLaunch to do this...
There're many Today launchers. Please check out my review of iLauncher ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=561&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ) and the links back to my earlier reviews. I've thoroughly compared most available solutions; based on these reviews, you'll be able to choose the best for you.

Personally, I like wm5newmenu.

How do I install this ?
presumably I unzip it first on the PC and then transfer all the files to a folder (which one) on the wizard and run the exe file from there ??
could you spell it out for dumbo here please
pretty straight forward really.....download----unzip----place application somewhere on you device----launch it----place a checkmark in "Enable TrayLaunch".
Once you have that done click on Add and make shortcuts to whatever you want....i.e. a shortcut to PIE might be like this \Windows\InternetExplorer.lnk or a shortcut to the Midlet Java Manager would be something like \Windows\jmm.exe
Personally I have the PHMTrayLaunch stored in the \Windows directory then I created a shortcut to it in PHMTrayLaunch so I can call it easily...
so.. there´s anyway, or hack that allow us to change the spb mobile shell icons?
I'd like to do this as well cannot see how at the moment
SPB stuff is never as customizable as I want it to be. That's the problem with their products, IMHO. If it weren't for that, I would definitely be using Mobile Shell right now, but I want an application launcher of my own choosing, not their stupid one that is mostly about built in WM applications. If someone is able to hack Mobile Shell to customize it fully, I would be very gracious.

It actually allows you to map any programs that you want - you should try it.
The 'programs' is automatically based on recently used programs, or programs that you can pin in place. There is also a user menu where you can add/delete components as you want..

Yeah, I hate that. Makes no sense either, since you can customize icons in Pocket Plus.
Well, who knows how to change the "internet" to go to picsel browser instead of IE, and maybe remover organizer with something else from the second page?
I believe all the graphics and layouts are in the .dat files in the SPB Mobile directory. However these .dat files are password protected zip files.
Anyone know if I can remove the calender on the now screen and make my app/task list longer?

Just go to SPB Mobile Shell Setting -> Now tab -> Options (or something alike, I have russian version) and set calendar to No.
all dat files - zip it closed password (applies to SPB Plus) Password b0fm18zq
If even simpler: open file in PhotoShop, make a copy on a copy! -- draw with layers and so forth - with copies in the copy buffer - impose on the original - link sectors - remain with "SAVE" - SHELL and PLUS - very sensitive palette to change - if the file is simply to preserve the "SAVE AS ...." and the changing palette of color and depth.
sorry for bad English
for example View attachment qp_menu_btn.zip
unzip and replace it in mobile shell folder, then soft reset.
not difficult.. not impossible.
1. copy all of the graphics (png's)
2. make new ones and name them the same way (using Photoshop)
3. Stop the processes associated with SPB all of them and more. basicaly put it into "safemode for a ppc" kill all but the essential processes.
4. replace the old files with the new ones and reboot.
Note: the new files have to be identical in format (ex: PNG 24bit 96pxlX96pxl) not that it is the actual format.
Good luck.

Try this.... Goto MS2.0 settings, Now screen tab (first one) click on configure, click on calender drop down tab, change setting to: None, One Week, Two Weeks, Three Weeks. Default is on auto.
I cant confirm this will work for you as I haven't tried it. (I just know the setting is there. Let us know if it works for you....
Hummm for some of us Graphically retarded people does this mean that people will be posting themes???
That would be pretty cool if you ask me. But I actually like the MS2.0. I have played and configed my ppc many many many many times now and I think I am at the point where I just want to use it.
Anyway, I do think it would be cool if people posted there own personal themes for MS2.0.

SoBBie
