  • Application Description
    Explorer 2009 is

    Main Explorer modules

    You get also BlueTooth browser, secure encryption, document store, RAM analyzer, http downloads, various editors etc. etc. ¿ Simply a handset of tools that use to be scattered through various applications.


    Upgrade from v4 is paid and requires new unlock code.

    GUI

    Choose classic Palm launcher look&feel, typical Windows Explorer style or some compromise.
    You can setup vertical/horizontal layout, tabs, fonts, columns, bars etc.
    Favorites provide fast access to frequently visited folders.
    Add the one-handed control and the support of all common devices and resolutions.


    File Manager

    Explorer provides a comfortable way for all file operations you may think off - copy, move, delete, rename, beam, etc.

    You may use features such as drag&drop, copy&paste, multi-selection, RAM/card conversions, powerful sorting, searching and filtering, various viewers and editors.

    Explorer 2009 can synchronise folders (even over the network) and perform card check (chkdsk).


    (Document) launcher

    Popular viewers, players and readers can be launched by tapping their data files. (Document launching)

    Documents can be organized into virtual folders accessible as launcher categories.

    Explorer works like classic launcher, with applications and document categories put on the same level.

    Another special feature is secure document storage that safely stores your files and provides one-tap preview/edit of the stored documents.


    Zipper

    Zipper is transparently integrated into the Explorer. You can perceive a zip archive as another folder and manipulate its contents, view compressed images, launch compressed applications etc.

    Zipper offers also password-based encryption and even secure (AES) encryption.

    Explorer 2009 supports also tar/bzip2 archives. bzip2 plugin is included in the zip installer.


    Viewer

    A simple fast built-in viewer providing full-screen image preview. Displays jpg/bmp/gif images and images produced by Clie and Zire cameras.

    Enables direct image preview from the zip archives, but also preview over network.

    An interesting feature is the preview of the image resources embedded in the Palm OS databases.


    Backup

    Multi-user, multi-backup solution with incremental backup, encryption, sorting and filtering and with open backup format.

    Backup set verification provides unique possibility for the backup testing without performing actual restore.


    Control Panel

    Association editor (media manager) controls Hotsync paths, document launching and IR/BT receive.

    Preferences browser offers tree-like presentation of the preferences and limited editing.

    Network panel contains low-level tcp commands (ping, tracert) and the time synchronization with World time servers

    Other handy tools include the alarm editor and various information panels.


    RAM analyzer

    You know it: Cleaning old unneeded remnants that just occupy precious space, is close to impossible. It is here when the (optional) folder view of the RAM comes to help.

    Explorer sorts the RAM files into logical folders and identifies unknown pieces - simply a perfect tool for the RAM analysis.

    Advanced user may use special filters for locked, opened, protected files etc.


    LAN/VPN/Bluetooth networks

    Do you need to access your local PC? Then mount the PC drive and use it as another Palm card. (No need to learn anything!)

    All you need is a working connection. (WiFi, BlueTooth etc. - see ExplorerNetworking.pdf in the zip installer.)

    Works with Windows, Mac and Linux and also with VPN networks.

    Do you want to listen an mp3 located on a Nokia phone? (View an image, copy a file...) Just use Explorer Bluetooth browser.


    And more...

    • Front-end tool for VPN clients
    • Associations manager can repair associations (crash prevention) and prevents unwanted changes. (Another frequent Palm problem.)
    • Editor of the txt files (optionally using small font)
    • Applications tree allows for an easy assessment of the application resources.
    • FTP browser can access remote resources as if they resided on the local card.
    • Explorer provides a free FTP account at DriveHQ FTP hosting service.
    • Live Updater connects you to the Resco downloads.
    • Secure (AES) encryption is implemented as part of the zipper.
    • etc.

    The ultimate explorer solution for the palm. Also has excellent backup and restore functionality. I originally purchased this back in 2005, ran it for a few moths, and then my palm died. I did not get another palm until recently..about four years later. I was a bit upset to learn that purchasing a registration does NOT include lifetime upgrades. The author did send me the last upgradable version for my registration, which was the 2007 version. I was not aware of this at purchase time (no info was given) but this change is NOW reflected on the Palmgear page. Again, great program, but at $20 there really should be lifetime upgrades. I mean, really, how much "lifetime" does PalmOS have left in it anyway? I hate to say that, but we alll know the Pre comes next...

    A good replacement for the Palm Launcher. I used it to sort out the problem of associating multiple applications with one file type. In the event the built in editor was so good that I didn't need the multiple associations for my HTML files. I was able to use "Open" for viewing HTML in the "Blazer" browser and the "View" context menu entry for editing the HTML. It is based on the look of Windows Explorer. The explorer tree can be hidden to provide a wider contents window. Nice.
