Is there any aplication to read mpb files from pc? If they are text files, shouldn't they work with notepad for example?
Thanks
Well, if you mean mobipocket book format, then you can use desktop version of mobipocket reader (freeware, google it) for that. Ant they're not really text files, but compressed xml files (besides text they can contain hyperlinks, images, annotations, etc).
And there is a tread right on top of this forum section to be used for questions. Please do not post treads in this section unless you are CONTRIBUTING. Especially considering the fact that your question doesn't even concern pocketPC's - so what does it have to do with development and hacking?
the mpb files are messages and they are in \windows\messaging. that aplication doesn't open it

Does anyone have a hack that would allow me to view and save data files at a lower folder than the first level?
I.e. my folder structure is \Personal\Financial\ but excel and word can only see files stored under \Personal\ and not the next folder down. I need to be able to access this second level from within the application.
Would be a great help to me.
If you haven't installed Mad Programmer's dialog changer, you're not using your pda properly.

Thanks vijay555 but this is not in relation to installing apps.
There is a particular problem in WM2003 whereby if I store for example my pocket excel files in the folder:
\Financial\Spreadsheets\
I cannot access this folder from Pocket Excel but only from File Explorer. Pocket excel will only show the files existing in the folder "Financial" here. It means that when I create a new excel (or any other document) from within the application, I have to save it to the "financial" directory first, then manually move it to the next folder down.
Same applies to Pocket Word, Listpro etc files (any files in fact).

pauldcullen: although the link I gave is talking about installing cabs and stuff, Mad Programmer's dialog changer hooks into the OS and changes all of the rubbish OS dialogs (that only allow you to see My documents etc) and replaces them with the more advanced kind that let you navigate anywhere.
The link I gave is a useful one on installing the app itself, because Mad Programmer's website is generally Japanese. But hopefully, try installing the app and you should be able to navigate anywhere for saving files.

Ensure you use the right version for your OS.

thanks a lot I'll give it a shot - any stability problems with it?
I've never had any and used it for > 1year on both Wm2003 and Wm5.

vijay I've installed it and it seems to work for SAVING new files into a sub-directory which in itself is great!
However, as soon as I OPEN pocket excel etc, I cannot see these files in the subfolders, only those in the parent folder - any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Paul
Hmm, I just noticed that...
It seens mad programmer only hooked the saving, not opening dialogs.
Not the best option I know, but I never open files using word, I use gsfinder to locate them and open directly by double clicking.
Other then that, I don't think Word was "designed" to show the subfolders as you've got them configured. PITA I know.

Hi,
Dimond users and those porting to other systems have done loads of research of Manila3D (that runs TouchFlo).
For newbies like us, it means we have to read millions of massively long threads to catch up with current development, how to alter images etc.
For that reason, I've started created a Wiki page here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=AboutManilaFiles
Please contribute, or let me know if I'm replicating work elsewhere!
Good initiative. Manila still is one big secret (especially in HD it seems)
I've edited a lot of my Manila Files so I will try to add as much as I know about the Manila files
Maybe it's an idea to create a list with all Manila files which are unknown in the Manila Editor to check which picture/icon it represents?
I've pulled all the manila files from my HD and I'm starting to sort out the lists of file types and images types to put on the Wiki - It would be 10 times easier if manila editor had an export name function
But yes, probably best to ceoncentrate on the 'unknown' ones first.
^&*%&%*&! There's a themes forum now! any admins out there that can move this thread over?

Use the export funtion and then do a rename of the file and then copy the name in to wiki. Did you see that there is a WIKI page up with the best know ones linked on the HD Wiki ?
Nice to see somebody ADDING Value, thanks
Hi there,
Hopefully one of you guys can help me, I'm needing to know whether Manilla's tabs i.e, the ones on the main interface -today, messaging, contacts, etc- are actually files located somewhere within the device.
like an exe/or similar file that would move to that tab when clicked. Not actually open it, but just move to the that tab within the Manilla interface.
It's an idea I have for getting round the landscape problem that bothers us HD2 owners.
Many thanks
I'm certainly no manila guru, so can't really give much advice, but from what I do know I can tell you that manila is a single app and it runs as a today plugin. The graphics that make up the manila theme are spread around in the windows folder (and there's LOTS of them), as well as config files (xml file format), but that's where my knowledge stops.
It's basically 1 big application, not seperate ones.
Have a trawl through the rom development and the themes and apps sections, there are a few good reads on the manila files.
Also, try the advanced google search instead of the site search, it turns up some good stuff, sometimes for different phones, but the info is valid.
Try this
tut edit manila +hd2 +leo

Hello,
Sorry if I put this question at the wrong place :|
I am a mathematician and I am looking for an app that can read mathematical symbols on Android? I have tried QuickOffice and DocToGo and both of them failed to display those symbols I created in Office 2007/2010. Can you please suggest me which app I should use.
Thank you
What you are trying to read, are equations done in Office 2007/2010, am I right?
Yes. Do you have any tips? My equations all disappeared
Sorry, can't help you there. I haven't check docs with equations. You could try to contact Documents to Go or QuickOffice developers, to see if they plan to release an update that supports this functionality.
If you want to read documents, and not edit them, you can always make a pdf, and read it on your android device
I have around a few hundred ebooks in my collection. I downloaded caliber. Althought it’s a great e-book management software, I have a couple of problems with it. Specifically the way it stores your ebooks after importing them. It organizes/stores e-books in its library in folders in the following order: Author --> Book Title -->Actual e-book file (epub/mobi etc).
However, I have always stored my books in this manner:
* If a book is in only one format, I won’t put it in a separate folder and will rename it the following way: Book Title – Author Name.epub
* If a book is in more than one format, I will put the e-book files in a separate folder in the following manner: Book Title – Author Name.epub, Book Title - Author Name. mobi
Having my e-books in the above way makes it easier for me to organize them. Its just a personal preference, I guess. I am wondering if its possible to organize your Caliber Library this way. I have looked around but wasn’t able to find my answer.
I hope someone else can provide some insight?
Thanks.
Hi. I don't know if you'll get much of a response because this is a Calibre question rather than a Nook question. However, I do believe that the "save template" field in the Calibre preferences will let you organize your books however you wish. It's in the Saving Books to disk section. Good luck.

I cannot tell about Calibre.
There are few few Nook apps (right in this forum) to auto populate Nook Shelves pretty much anyway you want.
I found my answer. Unfortunately they wont change the folder structure....
