Some Answers

Like I said: I will pm you most likely, today or this weekend.

Yeah the best way to handle the edit mode would be an editor inside the app, but that's quite some work i guess... So if somebody is willing to write such a control just contact me!

But the current workaround is quite simple: Upload your file, edit it with the powerful editors you know and send it back to the phone...

In fact what i did was send the complete windows/applications folder and all files that where successfully send can be edited (on the others you have no access anyway).

Well I think it's not that difficult to implement a search for registry. It's funny to say that all the time but I thought on this one too and if you look on the source code you will see that i positioned the search/filter text box out of the explorer pivot to use it for registry search or other purposes. If you find it really that useful with the current read restrictions... yeah I should just implement it...

In fact this is a filter function so that large folders can be loaded much faster. Just enter "a*" and make the keyboard disappear (tab anywhere else) and you see only the files/folders starting with "a". I don't know why "enter" on keyboard doesn't do anything, I will look into this. I should update the usage in my first post, thanks.

yep.

From the htc COM call i get 0 bytes....

Hehe, i thought on this one too as it is already implemented (just create a folder in UploadRoot drop a file and start downloading it to the phone => the folder gets created). I will look into this.

Can you (or anybody) provide me with an example on how to rename a folder via provxml. And in Yaaf.WP7.NativeAccess.IO.File i have in the "Move" method some code commentated. Can somebody please un-comment, debug and tell me why the hell this provision-xml is invalid / not working, thanks.

(ProvisionXml is completely new to me as this is my first smartphone)

I didn't look into that but i think it is not enough to simply create the guid folder and drop content there... Anyway you can use the "NativeAccess" Projekt to get all the access i used in the Explorer. But you have to create links from your main projekt to the COM-dlls so they get included into the xap file.

That's what keeping me up i guess ;)

I'm always interested in any patch especially support for other devices (I have a htc so I can't debug stuff for other devices :/ )

Yeah there could be an option for that. It's pretty easy to implement so... But i don't have this problem so i didn't realised that one.

Thank you for your feedback ;)

Well I answered this on the first page of the thread already, thanks.

EDIT: I updated the program and my first post and implemented some of your feature requests

Have you used the forum-search? You'll find a post which describes you how to get these books to your phone (it's by me). I can't give you the link because I send this from my HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] diboze:
really great app. Also like the pc<->phone feature :D

I use it now very often, so I think it needs:

-2 Filebrowser Tabs

-or an option to "bookmark" certain folders
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reddragon93:
I talked to other people, at first this feature looks awesome, but after some time you would see that you don't use 2 tabs!

The bookmarking thing is a good idea...

I'm looking into amazon kindle... what i can do for sure is copy the file into the kindle folder and start amazon kindle...

But i forgot how to start a program via app-guid. I remember that i saw an COM.dll which can do that.

i know that link but i don't see how you can move folders (if it is possible)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Love the update! Thanks for cluing me in on the workings of the filter; I wasn't trying wildcards and it therefore looked like it was always empty.

That said, a bug report (reproed on the older version too):

Registry manual mode can crash with a System.ArgumentException "Invalid fullpath".

Start Advanced Explorer

Pan to Registry

Tap "edit manual"

Observe exception

App crashes on hitting OK

thanks for great work

how to copy file from phone to pc?

i just "explorer" a file,selected, and ... "copy",but paste to where? "remote" tab have not paste func.

copy a large pdf (more than 3m) file to pc 's 'uploadroot' then try to paste to phone, wait a moment, then exception say time out.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reddragon93:
can't repro this with my current version (fixed this already).so if it is not fixed with update1 it will be fixed with the next one.

to copy from phone to pc select files/folders and hit "send" in the menu

Hmm I will look into this, thanks

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] miscu198p:

Update 2!!!

Hey,

I think with Update2 i kinda fixed all open (known) bugs..

If somebody knows a way how to open a program with a given program GUID, I could implement more custom file types (Amazon Kindle books for example).

I remember seeing a Com -dll doing this, but I don't find it at the moment.

If anybody has more Info on this => please contact me!

The other option would be to edit the Amazon Kindle app to register as File-Viewer, but I will not do that.. (no time)

Registry Editing

Hi!

First I'd like to thanks for this great application. I use the latest version which was downloaded from your site at google.

I wanted to use registry editing for changing Bing to Google search which is described in [REF]WP7 Registry tweak thread. My problem is that I cannot open the location in registry that it refers to

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes]

I'm not sure if it does not exist but even HKCU\Software does not show up under HKCU. Nor I couldn't find a way to create any registry keys either.

Another annoying problem was that when I tried to Edit an existing registry value the application closed without any message.

I hope that this could be solved in near future and wish you happy coding.

Regards,

Cina.

Hi !

Thx a lot ... for this great job.....

But I have a question

How does it work?

How to transfer from WP7 => PC and PC => WP7

I deployed the *. xap, unzipped the *. bin ... but how to configure the upload and download?

I can modify the phone REG, navigater in the folders .... and ????

I'd be very happy to have a .. tutorial ... or something like ....

With my best thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hhxx26:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reddragon93:
To edit a registry value which is not visible simply click the manual button in the menu and then enter your registry key and your value and click save after this. If you want to load an existing value which is not shown enter in the same menu the registrykey and value and hit refresh...

If you provide me with detailed steps to crash the application i will fix them as soon as possible (can't repro your error). Please tell me also if you have "Ignore Provision Errors" set or unset in your options (i shoudn't crash in either case)

Just to make sure i will upload my current version (update3) again to my google site.

Try this:

1. deploy(sideload) xap

2. extract the "DesktopHost.zip" file

3. connect your device and make sure zune is started & zune is telling ou its connected

4. go to settings of your application and enter "http://127.0.0.1:8001/FileExchangeService/" (you only have to edit the ip... i will make this default in the next version!)

5. Press the save button

6. On your pc start the extracted "FileExplorerServiceHost.exe" with admin rights (rightclick start as administrator)

7. copy some files to the "UploadRoot" folder which is located in the same folder as "FileExplorerServiceHost.exe" if it doesn't exist => create.

8. On your phone you should see (after you hit refresh) the files in the remote pivot. Just select and hit the copy button, and then go to any folder in the explorer tab and hit paste...

9. To send files to your pc select any files in the explorer and hit "send" in the menu... The files are now showing up in the DownloadRoot folder..

Can you please give provide me some info which error you are seeing or what is happening? I do not want to make the files accessible here at xda of several reasons:

1. You have to make an account to download

2. I'd like to see how much downloads i get

3. I get support with the advertisment on the page.

Some Answers

I added a call to developers with other devices on my first post, but as long as nobody knows anything and nobody is helping me there won't be support for other devices (I'm sorry).

if there are some methods (for example COM-dll functions) just help me add them. I will not add them because i can't test them so there is no point.

And remote debugging over a forum is more than painful.

If you send a file from the folder /windows/something/folder1/file.exe to your pc a folder DownloadRoot/windows/something/folder1/ will be created and file.exe will be dropped there...

but no other files should be appearing there... Is that what you seeing?

Again: If you are a developer and want to help implementing features for any other device than HTC-HD7 and have some free time I would appreciate your help, thank you! Just PM

reddragon, it's not perfect (and yes, remote debugging via forum hurts), but if you want a library that *should* provide abstraction for the registry and filesystem, check out my IE Search Switcher project. I think I have Samsung support working (found a friend who could help out) and possibly LG, although I haven't actually been able to fully test it.

Hi!

I downloaded and installed your 1.4 Test 1 version.

Fileexplorer works O.K. but registry explorer throws an exception of access denied on opening both HKLM or HKCU. HKCR opens correctly but any subkey is always denied too.

Sorry for that but 1.3 worked much better on this.

Please watch in Known Limitations (Release Notes) before posting a bug.

Also please provide me with the required Infos (see homepage) before postig a bug.

Postings like "The app crashes" or "The previous version worked better" are not that useful.

But Postings like:

"Do the following to crash the app on Omnia7:

1. ...

2. ...

...

I attached the logfile.log from the IsolatedStore directory"

are incredible useful. And they make it more easy for me to localize and fix the bug.

Generally it doesn't matter where you report the bug, but the idea page makes it easy for me to manage the bugs and I will not forget a bug that is entered in Idea! (http://advancedexplorer.idea.informer.com).

Please make sure your bug is not already in there.

Test5

Ok guys i just changed the app in the following (just released test5):

- Chatched an additional Exception in refreshing the file system (maybe that was it... and i do log it in the logfile?!)

- Made it possible to "ignore" "app crashing" (but the app may be in an unstable state)

- on startup enable in setting the "limited access" and click save... now the explorer should work like it did in test3 (you should be able to send me the logfile now)

To say it simple: The app should never crash again without telling you what happened and writing it in the logfile... and you should always be able to access the logfile with the "LimitedAccess" setting.

I DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE! so i need a logfile from somebody who had the issue on test4, thank you!

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reddragon93:
People please read my release notes... or my other posts (at least the last 2-3)...

I said you have to enable "Limited Access" in settings than you have the same behavior that you had with test3... test5 is there only for 1 reason: to find the issue some people had with test4 (the crashing on startup). (Make sure to hit the save button!)

If you have enabled "Limited Access" in settings and the explorer doesn't show anything thats a reason to tell me...

Thanks to the logfile (one post before gianlucarugby) I found the issue, but there have to be more investigating with more logging, and I'm not promising anything (file access on other devices for example)... If I don't get it to work than i don't get it to work... It is really that simple :)

For the registry the one thing i can promise is full write access on LG but there is no ETA when i will implement that. Just remember I get no money by doing this, but I do this for fun!
