I would like to be able to start and stop a service on my home media PC which is upstairs, running XP Home, preferably using my Windows Mobile (T-Mobile Compact 4 with shaks cooked ROM). The PC is wired to the network and the mobile connects via WiFi. Any idea if this is possible?

Bit more background - I have ps3 media server running on the PC, but sometimes need to restart and I'm too lazy to run up and downstairs each time.

Mortscript maybe?
[Networking] l3it3r:
First convert your XP home to Pro and install RDP.

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/...le-remote-desktop-in-windows-xp-home-edition/

Then just use your Remote Desktop Connection app in WinMob to connect via WiFi or 3G.

(To connect via 3G forward the RDP Port 3389 on your router to your computer)
[Networking] l3it3r:
OR

If you have Outlook, setup a rule that when you email yourself, with "Restart PS3 Media Server" as the subject, it will open a batch file on your drive.

In the batch file, you'd have the following lines: (open notepad and type in this)

Save as C:\RestartPS3.bat
[Networking] ewans:
Thanks for the suggestions, I like the look of the first idea, I think I'll give that a go. Any issues you know of with changing Home to Pro?
[Networking] l3it3r:
I don't know of any issues personally as I've never dealt with XP home. Did you try it out?
[Networking] larsdennert:
XP Media Center also has RDP.

If you can't get your hands on a new XP, look into something like VNC like Real VNC and then google the sourceforge .net vnc viewer

Or

get a Telnet client and telnet into your pc. That'll give you a command prompt.

Or an ssh server and client like pocketputty

Or gotomypc

etc etc

I've done some creative outlandish stuff on my home network, but I hadn't ever thought of the e-mail fix. Simple instructions, and a simple fix. I'll be using that for a fix in the future for the newbs who always call needing a fix.

Granted most of them already have remote desktop so I can just fix it instead of spending 45 minutes walking them through how to fix it.

I'm just posting to give you a kudos to your idea. Impressive.

Bummer you can't thank posts in this forum... the forum I use for web design stuff lets you do that.

Anyways, thanks!
[Networking] l3it3r:
Thanks for the kudos! I do outlandish stuff for a living and I find that it makes for an interesting day :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] phryedrice:
the battery life on the tilt isnt all that great and i use the internet alot on my phone. so i was wondering which browser consumes the least amount of battery life. thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] pjcforpres:
Hard to say... I think when it comes to a browser battery life is one of the smaller concerns for the most part, mostly because there is very little difference in usage from browser to browser. Personally, I like Skyfire and Opera, depending on what I am doing. They both use about the same, but I think Skyfire uses a hair less.

Most of the battery usage comes from the radio being powered, so the more time it spends loading info, the more power usage. Opera takes longer to load a page than Skyfire, but it loads EVERYTHING from the page. Skyfire will end up re-loading the page several times if you are using drop down menus, panning a lot, and so forth. So it tends to even out in the end between the two.

I am not sure about Iris, I would assume it is roughly the same, but I don't use it.

Lower the backlight, use EDGE not 3G.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbarvian:
looks good ;)

good work as always
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thanks!

BTW... I've forgotten to publish the video at my web :o... Please if you have tried to access it unsuccesfully please try again ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radospol:
This is very interesting. I want to! Good jobs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
Awesome. Hope this would beat RescoFileExplorer. :cool:

I like the feature, to collapse groups :)

One Note (as seen in the video): The Tap'n'Hold-Menus should be bigger to be more finger friendly ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SprintGuy765:
+1 The Tap'n'Hold-Menus should be bigger to be more finger friendly

Anyway we could hide the taskbar (FULLSCREEN)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jokes On You:
How extensive of a file explorer will this be? Will this have features similar to file explorer extension 2.03?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mallman:
excellent, cant wait. i will add it to my arsenal
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] THE GRIZZ:
hope you make it as feature rich and smooth as resco explorer
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] THE GRIZZ:
how is the multi select is handled?

idea: how about you make the right side of the screen for muli selecting files and the left side of the screen for scrolling.

alse:

-will it support network sharing

-will it integrate a registry editor like total commander
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dopodcht9000:
Can you make it into Today plug-in rather than one exe program to comebine with throttle launcher ?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thanks! :)

Thanks! I hope that too ;). Though RescoFileExplorer does have a lot of features... ThrottleExplorer will be simple in it's first stages so at this point it will only have basic file managing capabilities.

It's fully skinable so it will be simple to change the skin to make menus as big as wanted :).

Fullscreen is something I also have panned ;). Probably with a top-down gesture to minimize...

Thanks!

I plan to include the posibility of adding menu options (to popup or docked menus) so you can call MortScripts or other 3rd party app's.

Thanks!

Hehehe, Thanks!

I plan to add multiselection support on a further release.... Currently it's not supported. The same happens about network sharing... Registry editing is a posibility but to be honest I've not think about it... Wouldn't it be better to have that as another app.

Thanks!

That's something I will do :). It will be posible to embed it inside ThrottleLauncher themes ;).

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SaBo:
Looks very promising.

I would prefer the "seperator lines" (A, B, C, ...) to be larger in order to be more finger friendly.

Sascha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] malrok37:
Looks great !

I can't wait to try it !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sambalbij:
Looks great! Btw, whats the image viewer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Released!!

Released!!! Please check first post for details :).

It's the default one of the Omnia...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drakfisken:
Looks very nice :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KMFM$:
Congrats, APBilbo!!! Downloading now. Will give feedback ASAP. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thank you very much! I await your comments :).

Thanks! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] damir-bosna:
looks great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
@everyone:

has anyone tried it jet? I've not "how it's working" feedback still :(. I hope it's "no news, good news" :)

Thanks! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarkRain:
I tried it just now on my i780!!

The interface is really nice...

...first i installed it in my StorageCard and it was a bit slow in scrolling, then i tried in the internal memory, and it's way better,

but still not as smooth as seen in your preview video, maybe because of the square resolution...

However is a great app, go on
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KMFM$:
Hey, APBilbo! Excellent app. However, as MarkRain stated it doesn't appear to scroll as smoothly as in the video. Though I did seem to notice that it appeared to scroll a little better/easier the harder I pressed on the screen. So I don't know if you have a pressure threshold setting or not, but if you do you may want to look at it (ie.-lighten up the pressure required).

Also, I have noticed that opening the "softkey menus", you have to click on something else to close the menu. I think possibly making it so you can click on the icon again to close the menu would be beneficial.

Finally, I think it would be excellent if you were able to include a little information about the folder/file underneath the title (i.e.- Attributes, Modified Date, File/Folder Size, etc.). Some thing a little similar to Resco Explorer 2008 :Example: )

Other than the above, this is excellent software!!! I'm not sure if you plan on adding skinning abilities to this app, but I hope you do. :D

Again, great app APBilbo.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
Skinning is possible. Still working on a Diamond (Rhodium/Topaz) skin :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KMFM$:
Thanks, Lycox. Just went back to the site and noticed that skinning is supported.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] talbas:
Look great ,just install it on my xperia. Let you know how it work:)

Is it possible to change language
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaime Méndez:
Hi, Raely nice file browser. Scrolling isn't very smooth but ussable. It can't open large directories like Windows directory. I don't find going up directories or root directory very friendly. It might be easier with big arrows or something like that.

It is an application I am going to add to my ROMs. Let's get rid of that crappy default Windows File Explorer;)

Regards,

Jaime.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thanks!! :)

I'll try to improve the scrolling speed... Probably I can add an option to hide the top and bottom bar when scrolling... It will improve it a lot as there will be less transparent graphics to render...

Thanks!

I'll try to improve those points for next release :). The details view is already planned ;). With picture preview!!

Great!! I look forward it! I'm not too good at designing :(.

Thanks!

Thank you very much!

I'll try to improve scrolling as I've said in the first quote ;). What happened to the windows folder? Does the device freeze or send an error? On my device it takes about 10-20 secconds to load but it ends up loading :P... This is something I obviously have to work on...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] talbas:
The menu is difficult to read course it transparent. Suggestion: Change the background or the fontcolour...;)

Scrolling needs to inproof and some function’s like the normal explorer would be nice (cut, copy ...)

Overall I like it course I like big full screen applications ,but you have your work cut out for you.:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gil@spoontools.com:
Great app - small comment

Thanks for a great tool!

Just a tiny comment - when opening the menu, and then clicking on the button again, you would expect that the menu will be closed, this is how the standard menua behave...

What do you think?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
Just wait for the next version. It's implemented :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Showtime7:
Awesome. Tried it out for a little bit and it works pretty well, definitely will be using it.

Not sure if it's just me but the program icon looks like it's messed up on the lower right side, no biggie just thought I'd mention it.

Anyway to change background, colors, etc?

Very useful, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
Will come. A few posts earlier, I said, that I'm working on a diamond (rhodium/topaz) skin. Here a small preview what I did until now (VGA):
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kraize:
Sweet! :) That looks awesome!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] THE GRIZZ:
very nice but i would really love to see additional features on this. i still find myself going to total commander to do a quick network folder connection or reg edit

almost all roms have TC cooked into the roms. the problem with tc is that its very old and not finger friendly. your explorer should be the next tc that everyone cooks. ohh, and making it better than resco explorer cant hurt much either

small issue: kenetic scrolling isnt as fluid or smooth as it should be on my x1

hope you keep developing this
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JukEboXAuDiO:
This is an OK tool. Scrolling isn't very smooth. Its very choppy. How do you select more than one item?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pencilcase:
look a few lines up and you have your answer to both questions ...

scrolling : being worked on

multiselect : in a later version, not supported right now.

this tool looks really promising and i really look forward to seeing this develop into a new total commander .. aka regedit incl import, ftp, lan .

i will definately be following this thread :)

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12aon:
Maybe if we'll ask real loud like a big crowd he will take take the the TC request into consideration :

Crowd: PRETTY PLEASE:D

but no pressure :D

Anyway I'm no dev but if you need help in any other way that writing code, let me know. I would't mind being involved in the creation of the new Tota... eh best file explorer :D, 12

BTW looking real good lycox
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!

I'm working in a new release with some improvements. Most of them meant to make the app more skinable (thanks to Lycox help) and some more improvements in usability.

When the main core of the app is ready I will try to make the best File explorer ever ;). The todo list right now is:

- Improve scrolling.

- Multi selection mode (click will mean select instead of exec) and actions like copy, paste and delete will work over all the files selected.

- Folder favorites list (a quick access list where you can add commonly used folders).

- File attributes view.

- Image preview for images.

- Hability to add options to menus to target to MortScripts and 3rd party apps.

- Network conectivity (FTP and Network folders)

- Registry editor will be a separate app over the same framework... ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m.schmidler:
Hi AP,

just tested it and it´s ok. I think the group-function should be optional (via settings), I´d rather have a A-Z bar like Resco or the Contacts.

other wishes: settings page + theme selection, speed settings, search function + wildcard support, copy to path (like Total Commander), ability to overwrite system files as well.

And a good default skin (Lycox´s looks awesome, but maybe I´ll one on my own ^^)

regards,

Martin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KRank_01:
I hope to add all the necessary features: integration with pocketrar, view file properties, association with the program, back on the gesture left dvuhpanelnost work with the labels, sending files by BT ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
great work! can't wait for the features to be implemented :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] THE GRIZZ:
so whats planned for the next version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Check it out yourself!! It released! :).

Thanks a lot for the interest ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dancer_69:
This is will be the best finger friently exporer application. Exelent work as always.

Thank you.

I can't wait for more futures like copy to, move to, rename, sent to, sent to as shortcut..... and more functionality to use this for default explorer application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12aon:
Looks good very good! Scrolling is still not as smooth as on wm6.5 but maybe it's created for touchflo..? Sorry to start nagging right away :)

Really like the interface and it's a great step in the right direction. It's sorting by extension a lot faster than the original file explorer I think. I am in love with the scrollbar (especially when sorted by extension), It might be nice to have visual confirmation of the scrolling though. Sometimes its hard to scroll pricise.

As for the menu menu's I could send you the originals from the Topaz\Rhodium menu enhancements if you'd like, Or I could just skin them if thats possible. There could be a couple improvements there if you'd feel like it, like

- arrows to suggest scrolling up\down

- grayed out arrow\bars when the bottom\top of the menu is reached

Keep the good stuff coming :) it's going to be great if we can make you feel appreciated about the development :)

Thanks, 12
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbarvian:
this is an INCREDIBLE tool! Very finger-friendly, very functional, and the design is almost flawless. The only other suggestion I have is to use the attached file as a background when you select something. you can stretch it/resize it as much as you want

Very great jobs APBilbo and Lycox ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
Erh... I guess there's no need for that, because of the scrollbar inside the menus. And arrows in top of the menu will break the headline :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jdiperla:
You never cease to amaze me AP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigough13:
Just installed, and uninstalled. Great looking app, but just as 12aon said, scrolling definately needs to be improved before exclusively using this app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pistonripper:
I can see this as the foundations of a brilliant touch app...of which the design of the user interfacehas been thought out to integrate well with most new phones. Well Done

If you could give the functionality of Total Commander with touch...I think your on to a winner......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mirchichamu:
Thanks. I installed the latest 0.2 on my opal. Not satisfactory. Not scroling at all. The scroll bar is very small. Slow also. Need more improvement.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbarvian:
I have two suggestions for this app (not a developer, just thought it would work):

1. could the scrolling be the default scrolling, like the old touchflo or the new Widnows Mobile 6.5 scrolling?

2. could the menus be the default menus, that way you can install htc menus and it will look very similar
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Seems to be going along nicely :) Though I miss the WM topbar (it's actually usefull when you use wkTask...).

Anyway hope to see some basics still missing in the next version:

1- cut

2- rename

3- good multifile selection (check-boxes)

4- minimize the app (or keep the WM topbar!)

Also would be nice:

1- gestures to go back/front (horizontal scroll left/right)

2- AppToDate support

3- letters next the toolbar (to scroll to that file group... see pic below)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatso485:
really nice application but it needs to be more functional. as mentioned before, it needs to at least have all the functions of total commander so all the cooks start including it in their roms
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dancer_69:
I second that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Thanks! I'll try to implement those futures ASAP ;).

Thank you very much!

Wich device do you have? On my Omnia scrolling is a lot fast... but I know that on VGA devices it might be a little bit slow... Is this the case?

About the arrows, I agree with lycox, it will break a little bit the design using the arrows... Though as the app is skinable, may be I can add both options :).

Thanks!

Thank you! I'll try to add the selection background picture. Tough it may slow down a little bit the painting (using graphics is always slower than colouring).

Thanks! I'm really glad you like it :).

Thanks for the feedback! Wich device have you tested it over? VGA/wVGA device?

Thanks! I'll be integrating more functionlities in the near future along with other improvements. I first wanted to have a fully working framework :). Actions are now eassy to achieve.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry it's not working for you... Tough it's really weird.. It works fast even on my herald. With a qVGA screen this app must work really fast... Wich media did you install the app to?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] APBilbo:
Hi!

using the default scrolling will mean using window controls, wich does not support transparency :(, so it will completly break the skinability and design.... About the menus, that's something doable but it will only apply to 2 of the soft menus and not to the popup menu or the ordering, so it will also break the design.... Thank you anyway for the comments. Ideas are always wellcome ;).

Thanks!

I think that's something I can do ;). BTW, renaming is posible by using the properties option.... The letters on the right is ok if you're ordering alphabetically, but if ordering is by extension or by date it will not be possible to paint the right bar :(...

Thanks! I'll add them right away :). At least most of them ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12aon:
Yes I'm using a Raphael, thats probably the reason why it's a bit choppy. Anything you need from me to make it work as smooth as on the omnia?

Take care, 12
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ang3lo:
It works great on my Omnia, the UI is really beautiful and finger friendly !

But it isn't as smooth as Resco Explorer, scrolling is fast but not as smooth as we can except.

Can't wait for next releases !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaime Méndez:
No way I am going back to any other file explorer;). I am enjoying this last release with all its editing limitations. I think it is a matter of time we can have a complete working tool like TotalCommander but finger friendly and with a nicer and more functional UI.

Scrolling is fast and functional but not as smooth as other scrolling applications like iContact.

It would be superb if we could split screen in two and have drag and drop capabilities.

Regards,

Jaime.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] longice:
No go on Diamond!

This explorer looks really great, but is not working good on my Diamond. It can't even view the root folder on the Internal Storage!

When I press it, it gets highlighted, but nothing happens. When I press again, it goes straight into the subfolder I was supposed to see. But I never saw anything else then the filelist in the phone's root...

So, unfortunately - back to the WM File Explorer for me! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] millo1978:
Very Nice! :)

It Works good on ETEN M600+

(sometimes seem slow)

how to change language?

.INI

.TXT

.MUI

other?

If you want I can create for you the italian file! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Thanks for your work! :) This could be one of the best explorers!

Hopefully awaiting next version ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NeoGreendawg:
Hi,

I just tried this app' and apart from a few features that seem to be missing it's amazing !!!

It may be that I'm missing something but I can't seem to be able to 'cut' (ctrl+x) files and I can't seem to be able to select multiple files.... If these two features were included I'd be happy to pay for this application.

I love the design !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hannigan174:
Looks nice, very impressive. Its great looks make it replace regular file explorer, but functionality not quite as good as total commander.

I want this to be my everyday file explorer, but the scrolling is poor on my device (Xperia). Other than this one problem the program is absolutely incredible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guncha:
Looks great, but too slow for my Diamond. Especially when I open Dirs with many files inside, like \Windows

Back to Resco
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Hi,

does this project still exist or is there no further development?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Vulture-:
Nice explorer, works fast and effective. But i miss an important feature: Wheres the "cut" option?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HkDng:
There is "Send shortcut to program" function? I really need it.
