Guest jacoch Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 It's finally available and includes a lot of new features. Thanks to all who took time to send me suggestions or bug report. I have tried to test this new version as much as possible. But due to amount of new features, I'm sure a missed some. So please let me know if you find bugs. Thanks in advance. Here are the new features: - A status bar shows information about the selection. - New function Open with.... It allows you to open document with another application than the default one. - New function Run... It let's you run any command you want on the phone. - Fixed a bug in ZIP creation. File were only packed and no compression occured. - New Favorite function (key 8 ). It let's you keep track of your favorite documents, applications or folders. With folders, Smart Explorer reveal it in the tree, with documents or applications, it tries to open them. - Smart Explorer verifies at each startup that association with ZIP files is fine. - Improved IR functions. - Setup now correctly set parameters in the registry so that ZIP files can be open from within Internet Explorer. - Selection handling has been improved. When a folder is added to the selection, all its content is displayed as selected. - Fixed a bug in Copy-Paste and create zip file functions. It is not possible anymore to copy a folder inside itself. - It's now possible to show selection either in bold or using checkboxes. And the download is still here.

Guest jacoch Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 And I was happy the way it was :lol: Nice one :D do you have any more plans? The next changes will be on the user interface. I will add some background pictures and colors to make it look nicer. And I will continue to add requested features. So don't hesitate to ask. :wink:

Guest Trancedancer Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Hi! I really would like to try out Smart Explorer, this latest version sounds GREAT! I have been using IA File Manager since I got my phone...has anyone here tried both and compared the features of the two programs? I might go for Smart Explorer...please advice me! *HENRIK*
Guest StylishLemur Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Thanks again for this great great software!!!... To me, this is by far the best File Explorer Application for Smartphone.
Guest MoRFLeZ Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Hi! I really would like to try out Smart Explorer, this latest version sounds GREAT! I have been using IA File Manager since I got my phone...has anyone here tried both and compared the features of the two programs? I might go for Smart Explorer please advice me! *HENRIK* Smart Explorer is by FAR the best file manager to the SPV! It's updated frequently, it's loaded with features, they listen to suggestions, and it's free. Should you want to register, and help them out for making such an AWESOME program, it's only 5 bucks!! This is an amazing program! A must have! *cough*! One would think binarys was paying me to say all these great things :lol:
Guest madu Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 JACOCH! You have again surprised us with a great piece of software! I am absolutely stunned by the new features (even though I have still to try it all out). MANY THANKS!! And yes, this is the BEST File Explorer for SP. Tried them all, but this one is tops! The only one that came close enough was Resco, but with the new releases SmartExplorer beats it (I had no doubt there!). Once again - brilliant work from Binarys!
Guest fozzie Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Superb work jacoch. The status bar is particularly useful, as well as the 'open with' function.
Guest fraser Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Yeah, love the status bar. Select a folder, see how much space it uses. Very useful for cleaning up the phone.
Guest Tyrant_worm Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Trancedancer - no comparison m8. :shock:
Guest Animefan Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 First of all: Its really a great program! GOoD Job! :lol: A questioN: How do I get it to zip my files? I cant press the Zip or UnZip button! Do I need some other software first? :roll:
Guest Brody Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 Great job jacoch :lol: And plus gave me free registration as well :wink:
Guest Simon Desser Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 And I will continue to add requested features. So don't hesitate to ask. :wink: Jacques, once again FANTASTIC :!: A couple of things I'd like to see in future versions :?: Firstly, the ability to send multiple files via infrared and by email? Currently, you can select multiple files, but if you try to send them, you only get one file. (The answer at the moment is to zip them) And secondly, I like in Resco's explorer, the ability to "encrypt" files and password protect them, is it possible that a similar feature could be implemented into Smart Explorer? At the moment I'm tempted (only slightly) to buy this overpriced application, purely for this feature, but if it might be incorporated into your program, then I won't bother :?: Once again, a big thank you, and in terms of speed, functionality, and ease of use, no other file explorer program even comes close to yours :lol:
Guest jabonga Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 guys, help.... i cannot install this new version everytime i install this smartexplorer it says "unable to install choose another location" then i choose the storage card keep saying "unable to install" pls help.... thanks
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Do you have enough room on your storage card? Also if it's an SD card make sure the security lock is not set to on.
Guest madu Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Jacoch, Just one thing I mentioned before: would be good to have 'Properties' hotkey set to 5 Regards
Guest fozzie Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 I've just noticed that now the SP TM Free Mem app has stopped working since installing this new version?! Running the shortcut or the app directly does nothing - although strangely, the icon for it does appear on my MRU icon bar. Just me?
Guest jacoch Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 wow, a lot of comments. I will try to answer them all. 1. To zip files, Smart Explorer allows you to zip several files/folders in a single archive. Thus, you have to select the items you want to compress (using * key), then the menu will be active. 2. I will map Properties to the key 5. Maybe in a later version, I will let users map their key as they need. 3. Regarding problem with SP TM Free Mem, I will look what happened. I didn't have this problem. But as said by other developers, the Smartphone installer is very buggy. Actually, TM and SE are using the same parent key in registry. Maybe that's the problem. When uninstalling an app, it removes all the subkeys. Will verify. 4. Sending multiple files by email would be possible. I will try to add this feature in next version. For the email, I'm afraid it's not possible (or I didn't find how). I tried to use the Pocket API to do that. The email is created, no error occurs when adding attachments, but nothing appears. I think it's a buggy function. Maybe there's other way to do that, but I've asked MS several times on the newsgroup and never got an answer. 5. Finally, I think it would be possible to encrypt files. I can't promise anything yet, but I will look in details in API if something is available to add this feature quickly. But again, nothing sure as long as I have not studied the problem. Thanks all for your feedback. It is much appreciated.
Guest madu Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 4. Sending multiple files by email would be possible. Guess you meant 'by IR' :lol:
Guest jacoch Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Guess you meant 'by IR' :lol: :oops: Yes, you're right :wink:
Guest deniselll Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 to animefan, it may look loke a zip file but it is not. just copy the look-alike zip and paste it in your spv. when its there already then you open the zip. it will automatically run the program.. :lol:
