Comparative review file manager for Pocket PC
Through a comparative review file manager for Palm OS, it is interesting to know,
and how things have competing Pocket PC platform. Because of its similarity to
its "elder sister" - Windows desktop, in the device under Windows Mobile is a
full file system. Therefore, file managers is even suitable than the CPC under
the Palm OS. File explorer This file manager included with a standard set of
programmes that have previously been "clean" CPC. Experience shows that the
program built heavily curtailed by function. Let us see whether this allegation
to the File explorer. The program works with one window, switching between
folders using menu located at the top of the screen. There is also the choice of
treatment sorting files (name, date, size and type). Bottom-screen menu of files,
quick buttons to move the memory card and memory of the CPC, as well as a button
to connect to network resources. Using Stylus is site selection, as long
clicking on their names called contextual menus work with the file (standard "Cut-Copy-Paste
- Rename, send e-mail or infrared port). In principle, in order to pedestrian
couple files from the memory card, this set is enough, but serious work with the
files you want something more. It should be noted that, following the
installation of a pocket computer program SPB Plus 2 can be slightly improved
File explorer by adding the following features : button move one level higher in
the directory tree; support for ZIP archives; formatting memory cards; window
Properties file or folder, showing their size and different attributes. A free
version that ships with the operating system, but having minimally. When SPB
Plus 2 may very useful "upgrade" file manager, several raising its
competitiveness. Resco File explorer 5.00 As for the version of the Palm OS,
Version for Windows Mobile is surely one of the top of file managers. Excellent
functionality to work with files, lots more opportunities pushed many people
choose this particular product from slovatskihprogrammistov. Among the pluses
are the following : excellent work is organized with files, which is an order of
magnitude bigger than the standard File explorer; working with Bluetooth; built-in
file encryption to synchronize with a desktop PC; support for ZIP archives;
search with the installation of complex criteria and files within them; the
possibility of changing file associations (a program, for example, open files *.
txt); excellent built the Registry Editor, in the standard Windows programs
outside; FTP client. Of course, this is not the most popular feature, but I like
simple FTP manager several times rice. Working with Resco File explorer much
resembles use explorer for desktop-specific difficulties in the work not even
people with little knowledge of the Pocket PC. By minuses of the programme
include a relatively large size of the executable file (800 KB), high cost and
problems with the files containing the names of Russian letters in different
encoding. It is only when the FTP. Despite the high cost, is one of the best
options is an excellent multipurpose "combine", which like many users,
superceding several different programs. CE File commander 1.1 CE File commander
AbiSoft. If you work with Resco File explorer recalls work with the standard
Windows 2000/XP, work with CE File commander is association with the Far Manager,
by the way, also written by our countryman. The window manager is divided into
two panels, which can be vertically and horizontally. Possibilities program
enough to tackle almost any task : in addition to the standard set of files and
folders, there are a number of additional useful tools : a serious set of
network programming-Ping, Whois, Finger, Telnet, FTP client, to perform at the
handheld computer works with most network; built HEX- editor; very easy task
manager with the opportunity to view and "killing" unnecessary processes
otedayuschih precious memory; View summaries of the system, "System Info"; well,
if boring work, we can relax and not leave it, play simple toy-Lines. One
interesting feature unique interface when working with files not used the
standard "pop-up" menu system, you have entered duty with the stylus on the
screen. Many people complain that the delay in the quick work of their annoying.
All functions are available from the menu, which reduces the time spent on each
transaction, as a result, increase productivity with the program. An important
this file manager is a small file size, all of the above "zapihnuto" to a file
size of 200 KB. The drawbacks program is the lack of native support ZIP archives,
as well as the inability to format the memory card. It is a good choice for
people who are accustomed to the Far or Midnight commander and well versed in
the network. Total commander / CE 1.21 Far Manager, Total commander has long
been one of the most popular file managers on the desktop. Of course, such a
product worthy of attention-check, not podkachali whether developers. Ostensibly
style program has not changed - dvuhpanelnaya scheme, but because of the small
screen resolution still convenient to work with a panel, the other may have to
be quickly disabled. Support for ZIP archives, a good text editor, and working
with the test, can draw the attention of potential users. Of particular interest
is the ability to change the font and language interface. Working with files
arranged conveniently enough, but unfortunately, the program no longer has any
additional capacity. Good free "working" horse with extensive or aimed at fans
STexplorer 1.0.8 Their interest in this program description and because of the
low price of just $ 4.99, I decided to examine it closely. This is a simple file
manager in the style of Windows explorer, something reminds highly simplified
Resco explorer. Using standard files, interface greatly simplified, no ZIP
support. It is noteworthy only useful way to view and associate files, which
lacks many other programs of this class. Unfortunately, this feature is
available only in the full version file manager, so all of this grandeur can
only watch. Yes, forgot to say that the program is available in the demo version,
so some of the most interesting features disconnected. In addition, from time to
time program requires a registration code, and if the wrong answer just rose.
Because of this, it is virtually impossible to test. While other programs, and
full of quiet dignity, STexplorer appeared ragged beggars, obsessive, but
without much hope money from the subway shooting. For all these reasons, I do
not have to elaborate on it further, such requests crappy annoying. There are
much better and made more functional programs distributed free of charge.
Advanced explorer 5.1.5. With Advanced after STexplorer mood and severe
scepticism to the cheapest program, I found to my iPAQ another file manager,
Advanced explorer. Noposle I saw a very attractive icons in the style of Windows
XP, my mood improved slightly, and after half an hour with the program have
risen to the previous "working" level. This product has excellent functionality
and design, virtually conceded favorite Resco File explorer. And it is,
incidentally, is cheaper than 8 times. To my great mood handed and you break its
place all the pleasure that we receive, setting the program : an excellent file
manager; to encrypt files; support for ZIP archives; the registry editor;
working with network drives; FTP client; list processes; Recycle Bin ability to
view and edit file associations. Unfortunately, I can not say which of these two
programs (Resco File explorer or Advanced explorer) came first, but I had a
feeling that they are in parallel, to borrow from each other's best features.
Too many things like pain. Still, there are some features for which Resco
explorer superior Advanced explorer. For example, the company's product
AlphabetaSoftware no encryption of files, as well as native support Bluetooth,
the ability to format the memory card. For all other items Advanced explorer is
Resco File explorer, and in some cases even exceeded. If you do not need to
encrypt files on a computer or send files on Bluetooth is your choice! PE
Encrypt 6.2 Despite the presence in the title of this program apparent reference
to the encryption, it is functional file manager with their fans and admirers.
Like most programs in the review, he performed in the style of Windows explorer
and has similar capabilities, easy to work with files, work with FTP, ZIP
archives, encryption. In addition to the standard functions, there are
distinctive features not found in any other programs from competitors : check
verification file; a unique opportunity to change "skins"; to change the order
of columns in the table view; Filtration listed. Among the shortcomings are hard
to navigate and select multiple files, as well as very dearly for the program,
not obnovlyavsheysya since 2000. A good option, but, unfortunately, he could not
compete with the leaders, but has interesting possibilities. Conclusion All of
the programs reviewed in this survey were divided into two categories :
Completed schemes Windows explorer or Far / Total commander. In principle, which
is understandable, because small "karmanniki" largely repeat their desktop
companions. Of the programs compared to the following conclusions. 1) The
obvious leaders moved Resco File explorer, and all of a sudden, amounting to
serious competition Advanced explorer. Given the critical difference in price,
the best choice will come on Advanced explorer. 2) People, a lot of work with
computer networks, in many cases degrees CE File commander. 3) For those who
prefer free software here Total commander CE. 4) Fans experiment with the design
programs will want to change the appearance PE Encrypt. 5) In no case should not
be viewed as STexplorer candidate to be installed at CPC-send their time and
money. |
