Virtual Explorer 1.5 with WM6 (GER)

2008-09-21T03:35:26Z

Hi,

I just wanted to give a short description about my first impressions about my new trial, to use Virtual Explorer (which is what I am doing every time whenever there is a new version since I wrote a review for wm-user.de in January 2007)… I installed it directly to the device (MDA Ameo, WM6 GER)

+ the look is still nice and elegant
+ the explorer is quite fast (although it needs some time to “colelct” the personalized icons)
but there are still several (some of them IMHO rather major) gaps (this list is incomplete)
- it is still not possible to edit/ manage the favorites in “Navigate”
- there is no way to define a standard folder that will regularly opened from VE
- there is no deifference between the views: vertical browser & horizontal browser
- I miss back/ forward icons/ keys
- the sorting by “type” still does not work
- the program is not “finger friendly” or is even using the soft menus of WM5/6

of course this list is not complete, and of course I am absolutely willing to go on trying to make VE my standard explorer:) ... which it is not now

regards

Shrek

Virtual Explorer 1.5 and WM6 file encryption

2008-09-20T04:41:02Z

Selected all files within a directory but only the first file was encrypted. Also tried to encrypt the directory hoping that all file within the directory would encrypt. Is there a way to encrypt several files at a time to ensure they all use the same password?

When will Virtual Explorer get some attention?

2007-10-13T11:35:11Z

I purchased VE a while ago in lieu of Resco thinking it was a good buy and to show some support for a new program. So far I am underwhelmed by the attention VE has received. I visit the site and see frequent updates for Pocket Hakcmaster and Mechanic, but Virtual Explorer has the same bugs as it has always had. Hidden files still show up, and not being able to edit the Navigation pulldown.

So far I’m dissatisfied with this purchase.

VE acting up

2008-01-18T22:03:34Z

Ive just reloaded VE in an IPAQ 111 for the second time. I removed it previously because everytime I viewed in single tree mode, the screen starting flashing as if stuck in a loop. Reloaded a second time and did this one time, I reset the pda and started VE and now it pauses......and goes back to the Today screen. Any ideas? Sofar, I am not happy with this situation. Please advise.

Registration proceedure for Virtual Explorer

2007-10-04T12:44:42Z

Hello:

Please be advised that when opting to install the Virtual Explorer on the ContactFlash card, the registration proceedure does NOT complete. The only way to get the program registration to take is to install the program on the device.

FWIW
