Hey Guys,
I'm dropping my Kaiser and getting the TP2, should have it in a couple days. I'm just curious is anyone doing Web Dev form there phone. I find myself going out for meetings and discussing all kinds of ideas but never found an efficient was to make updates with raw XHTML editor and a good ftp program.
I forget what editor i was using, but the ftp in total commander never worked well for me for some reason.
Any ideas how I can go about FTP, and file editing to do web updates. I mainly work with xhtml/css/php.
Perhaps a simple photo program as well, doesn't have to have the great features of photoshop, but cropping and that kinda thing.
Any suggestions is appreciated,
thanks in advance.
I use Notepad Mobile. It's simply a plain text editor that's great for editing CSS, HTML, PHP, etc... Freeware.

For FTP, I use Resco Explorer 2008 - it's commercial and pricey (at $30,) but the FTP add-in works very well for me. Better than others I've tried.

I don't know if this edits in place remotely as I haven't tried that - I simply download the file, edit, then re-upload.
(I have no advice on photo editing...)
Forgot to mention - on the text editor, it doesn't feature syntax highlighting, auto completion, grouping or anything like a good desktop editor would. It's just a plain ol' text editor, but it works very well for what it is.
If someone knows of a more powerful editor, I would be interested in that as well...
Until then, it certainly gets the job done.
Perfect,
Thanks for both of those, I'll try out Resco Explorer 2008 and see if I like it. Also I only reupload files as well, don't think they have a true editor yet where you can ftp in and save on the fly.
I looked all over for a good graphics editor and absolutely no luck. You can get image resizers and stuff, but im looking to create buttons and what not, a gradient tool with a cropping tool.
Im looking at this right now, may be useful handles psd's

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 )

Thanks Chris!
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
I have installed a few freeware programs which I think have not got as much attention and praise as they deserve at this website.
Instead of File explorer, I am using Total commander, which still will be my main file tool. But I have missed the opportunity to find files and to search for files by writing a word in the file. GSFinder+ offers these opportunities. Go to http://page.freett.com/todamitsu/GSFinderE.htm
The built-in graphics software is very limited. If we want to make major revision of graphics, we will of course do it on the PC. But it is still nice to have a few more possibilities on the Universal. This is offered by XnView Pocket. The program loads the graphics faster and lets you resize the pictures, adjust brightness, contrast and gamma, convert it to other file formats, crop, sharpen, smooth and reduce noise. It is also reads 13 different graphic formats. Go to http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=877
I have also installed Pocket Notepad. Strictly speaking, a notepad is not important on the Universal which loads Word Mobile so quickly. But I somehow feel that the suite of programs is more complete with the notepad. Go to http://tillanosoft.com/ce/pnotepad.html
Thank you....
Thank you very much hansof! I have been looking for a light and freeware tif image viewer and I finally found one with your help! Great softs! Keep those recomendations coming!!!

Good morning everyone,
I hope your all well.
I have been updating various bits and peices up on my web site recently, just adding a blog and some pics/files for download.
I am finding that I am using my PC to edit my web pages and then uploading from my PC or my PPC.
I have never even tried to create a .txt file on my PPC before - I have just used pocket word in the past if I needed to do any typing on the go which seems to only use the pocket word format.
Does anyone know of any good HTML editors or just plain text editors that you would reccomend for this platform?
I am using a HTC Advantage running WM6.
I really want to be able to open and edit .htm/.html on the go and then upload direct to my web site.
Total Commander seems to connect up to my site ok so I can upload. - Resco explorer seems to fail to authenticate correctly
Just need a good HTML editor.
Anyone help?
Many thanks all.
http://www.freewareppc.com/docs/notepad.shtml ?
ive tried a few including the only php editor and testor (which doesnt work very well but when it does only works for basic php commands anyway)
this is the current HTML editor im using although it does have a few issues and will error from time to time but still one of the more decent as it allows for previews inside the application.
its called pocket html available from here... http://www.isquaredsoftware.com/
works otherwise fine on the hermes (WM5)
As we all know, a registry editor is pretty important when modding our devices. I personally hate doing registry edits on my wizard and it JUST SO HAPPENS that today while searching for a new registry editor (i lost my wizard in toronto a week ago and didnt have any software for it anymore!) i found one that works wonders and is based from a PC instead of the PPC. seems to work well for me. check it out! it is attached and it is freeware. it seems to work great with WM6 so i would say its safe to assume it will work with at the very least 5 also if not older versions of WM.
just thought id give back to the community since i have used this resource time and time again!
Total Commader and Task Manager, which come with many custom ROMs, already contained a full-featured registry editor with import/export functions, so why install another one?
this is not based from the PPC if you read my post. its much easier to navigate via your pc as i mentioned in my post.
Just use mymobiler. You can do EVERYTHING on your mobile from your desktop with that program. Then TotalCommander or another program can retain their value as multifunction programs capable of file management, text file editing, and registry editing.

personally as a geek myself, if there is an app that removes the actual interaction of the PPC and moves it into a native windows app id much rather use that. the problem with this app is it still mimics the physical interaction of the PPC. something the registry editor i posted above isnt doing. its mimicking regedit in windows but accesses your PPC.
just to prove my point here are two pics of examples.
Heyas!
Here's a rough of the notepad of my dream
Now it have:
a support of ANSI, UTF-8, UCS-2 for reading
use UTF-8 when saving into a file
syntax highlighting for C/C++/Java and a bit of HTML
tested (few) on megabyte files
a piece of slowness in some actions
I just want ask you, All, for opinion - does it have a right to live with current performance of the editor? Yeah, it should be equipped with
editing of a multiple documents simultaneously (tabbed)
customizable highlighter for a more languages
actions with binding on hardware keys
"recent files" list
search and replace
or evenmore ide-stuff: autocomplete, quick navigation thru source code, an external compiler support
(...)
But it will be later. I'm not sure if it too slow and huge for a pocket source code editing Or maybe there is a good and feature-rich notepad/IDE with all of I've mentioned above?
Nice idea. I'll try it out now, and see what happens.
I was able to open HTCHomeSettings.xml file that is too big for Total Commander or notepad in my phone (59.3kb).
Now I have a tool I can tweak my Manila2D settings while on the road.
I did notice the soft buttons are not in English, but everthing else shows up as English.
By the way, I used UPX standard compression and got your file to 144k before I put it on my phone.
NICE! one, this goes into my "useful apps" folder on my card
Really nice fast app.
I currently use cke (http://www.animaniak.com/cke/cke_main.asp) as my text/code editor on my WinMo device.
Have a look at the website and this app for some really good ideas to implement into yours.
The biggest problem I have with yours is that I can't browse the full file system.
Its a great start, and it sounds like you have a plan to make it a great piece of software.
It looks like you made space for the line numbers but they are not showing.... is that a bug or something you have just not completed?
An integrated ftp uploader/dowloader may also be really usefull...... So you can edit your website easily on the go.
