Install Files, the file manager for Palm
After yesterday's trick, we continued installing applications that bring some models of Palm, in others not bring them by default. In this case it is his turn to Files. This application first appeared on the T5. This is a file manager, in addition to its use as a standalone program, is used by other applications, such as DocsToGo 7, if it is installed on your Palm. Allows you to search the system VFS (expansion card), and lets you open files directly if the associated application supports it.
Curiously, the Tungsten E2 mention this program in the online help (though not bring it installed), and in fact, Files can be installed perfectly on the T3 and E2. The process is simple, similar to yesterday explained to main PIM applications. We just need to copy, or send via IR, the following files to our Palm:
- Filebrowser-PFil.prc
- Filebrowser-PFil_enUS.prc (or corresponding to our location, for Spanish-Filebrowser PFil_esES.prc)
- FileBrowserLib-PFiA.prc
Interestingly, copy these files to the E2 active instantly a lot of things: Favorites can now add a file as an item in the list, Blazer can open local files, and DocsToGo 7 lets you choose which folder to save the file. Furthermore, the global search (magnifying glass) now seeks to file names in FVS. Within its capabilities, so does the T3.

Files is a good file manager. Lets move directories, fill the lack of a browser to the files that are in RAM in the memory card and internal drive, and does not interfere with Filez, free manager that almost everybody uses.
In short, another program that was intended to be included in the software's serial E2 and T3, and improving other programs installed, but mysteriously never did. Original article in the TamsPalm blog.
Edited: I've extracted the files necessary for a Emulator Tungsten T5. You can download it here.

Mark, I loved your blog since I accidentally found it. I am addicted to my Palm and I lost many hours trying applications. From now on you defer to that work.
Returning to the topic, where can I find the files FILES? I see no link.
Thank you.
Hola Miguel.
The necessary files you have to get a Palm that does have installed, or alternatively on your emulator. It explains the process in the post about installing the PIM applications.
But to simplify matters, I have done with an emulator of T5. You can download the files from the link I put in the post.
A greeting.
Thank you very much Mark
I've installed. Like sunrise Puckle and synchronized with my bloglines account. What enjoyed!
I encourage you to follow. You included my feeds.
A greeting.
I'm glad you have worked
A greeting.
This blazer that open local files, how do you do?
A greeting
This particular function I have not tried, but I guess when you open a html file from the file manager, it will do with the Blazer.
Well this is me hanging, opening an html file of the card, blazer gives me a "fatal exception" and I restarted the palm.
We will have to try opera.
Blazer is a bit awkward to manage memory, especially in the Palm with NVFS. On the other hand is not proven Files for computers did not come by default. So it was expected to give a problem.
To view HTML documents on the Palm I recommend you try Plucker.
Hola, fijate try to install the files. Prc link indicated T5 emulator but I get an error, which I put below.
"You can not install the file. View the HotSync log for more information. (0 × 4002).
In reviewing the record gives me the report is following boxes:
- Failure of the installation: C: \ Program Files \ palmOne \ jpmox \ Install \ Filebrowser-PFil.prc
Install synchronization failed.
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you.

Hello Jpmox.
Indeed, these system files can not synchronize directly to RAM. What you have to do is sync to the external memory card (SD, MemoryStick, you use your Palm), and once there, a file manager like Filez, move the file into RAM. Then I leave you.
Thanks Mark, I could solve my problem just by installing filez, and did more nothing.
see you soon.
Que tal.
One thing that interested me too, extract the files on the emulator. How do I do this?. Les eternally grateful if I answer this query.
Thank you.
Hi Stephen.
The process to extract the emulator program is to keep theory from the Palm emulator, the file you want, in the expansion card on the Palm. The emulator saves the contents of the expansion card actually a directory inside the emulator, on your PC. It's an easy way to exchange files between the Palm emulated and the PC where you run the emulator.
However, when I tried I could not, because I got an error "memory full", and is using Filez, I saw that the expansion card that was created in the emulator was only 100Kb, but was not able to change that configuration.
May depend on the version of the emulator or the ROM used. I hope you have better luck than me.
Excuse me, look you install the files referenced (FILES) to the palm, and q is install as much, he had to settle in q lei SD card with Filez and take it to the palm, but asks me to install sobreescrbir what evil anteriormete , and put where and jumps me an error of q and q exisite yet .. the question is I q I can not erase from the palm! will not let me! q I do thank you ....!
