Guest madu Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 It seems that # key does not work as char.map in AE when renaming a file. As you hold the key for 2secs the text of the filename is nomore highlighted as 'text' (when you choose to rename) but already highlighted as a file. Now if you click 'Back' it takes you to the char.map but since the file is no longer being renamed, no way to insert a char from the map. Looks like a bug to me, maybe just not thought of.. Or am I being stupid?
Guest jhew Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 It CAN be done. All ya need to do it download the Remote display prog from this thread: http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=3040 install it and just open allexplorer from your desktop PC, and use your PC's keyboard to insert the underscore in the file name.
Guest HelloDave Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 All ya need to do it download the Remote display prog from this thread: http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=3040 install it and just open allexplorer from your desktop PC, and use your PC's keyboard to insert the underscore in the file name. But if you're gonna do that, why not just use ActiveSync? :)
Guest jhew Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 The thought did occur yeah, but just make sure that you've got 'view file extensions' turned on in your folder viewing options, or you may inadvertantly rename a file to something that the spv doesnt recognise. Happened to me a few times
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Theres also the few files that your PC can't see :)
Guest HelloDave Posted February 12, 2003 Report Posted February 12, 2003 Fair enough, but that isn't many. I'm sure you could cope renaming those few to something that doesn't contain an underscore :wink:
Guest madu Posted February 12, 2003 Report Posted February 12, 2003 Yes yes yes. But I needed to use a bloody underscore (can't remember why now) when away from my pc. And it was pretty much needed only coz I had no access to my PC at the time. Anyone heard of SmartExplorer? Apparently it can beam files etc. and is much beter than AllExplorer. There are some screenshots on the forum... Soz, no link.
Guest jhew Posted February 12, 2003 Report Posted February 12, 2003 have you tried SPV commander? Dunno if its any good, not tried it myself, but here's the URL if u wanna have a play with it..... http://www.bodenhoff.com/spv/
Guest jhew Posted February 12, 2003 Report Posted February 12, 2003 Ohh bugger, didnt notice the massive 'coming soon' heading. What an arse! In an effort to redeam myself from this rare (honest!) bout of total idiocy I tried having a look for the SmartExplorer prog that Madukranian mentioned...no luck yet....
Guest jhew Posted February 12, 2003 Report Posted February 12, 2003 Right, after having a butchers around, it would appear that SmartExplorer is'nt out yet either. Can any1 confirm this? Most of the info I found about it was on smartphony.
Guest madu Posted February 12, 2003 Report Posted February 12, 2003 Look here: http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic...lorer+commander This thing is amazing (seems to be) and you can even do IR file transfers. No mention of where it comes from or when will be availible. Unfortunately.
Guest FragMeister Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 I havent tried it yet, but there is a link from msmobiles to SmartExplorer: http://www.griffinnet.co.uk/spvapp.htm this link also contains SPV Task Manager for terminating applications (V. useful for multiple window problem in PIE) I have not tried these applications yet, but will give them a go tonight and report back.
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 Both Task Manager and SmartExplorer work well. SmartExplorer is handier than AllExplorer. I dislike intensely that thing where you have to switch from folder view to file view...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 Oh, and I've tried it, you CAN add an underscore to a file name with SmartExplorer. The # key menu for special characters works fine.
Guest jacoch Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 That's why I didn't use inplace edit in SmartExplorer. The tree or list view is not able to stay in edit mode after displaying a dialog. As we are talking about SmartExplorer, here is some news about the development: - I have fixed the shortcut icon so that the small arrow is displayed correctly. - I have finished the receiving by infrared function. - The function to send by infrared is working, but I still need to add the progress dialog. I expect to have a new version available at the end of the week.
Guest PsychoDave Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 Thats great news Jacoch. Finally IR send and receice. GGGGGGGGGGGreeat :)
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 OMG... receive works? Just is time for the Modaco Event Paul is cooking up! Files zipping around the venue... I can't wait!
