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.
