“The file explorer and manager for your Palm”
I've always found viewing, managing and sorting files on a Palm something of a tedious and cumbersome process. We've all grown accustomed to using Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder to browse files, and small screen operating systems rarely make it as easy.
Resco Explorer changes all that though, providing an altogether more powerful and effective solution to the default Palm file browser. For starters, it provides a more intuitive way of viewing your files, with a file manager that displays your data and applications in a two-paned tree structure view. You can dig down or shift up through directories using the clear, accessible arrow icons.
One of the crucial features of Resco Explorer is the fact that it lets you launch applications with a single tap, something not usually seen on a Palm file manager. It also makes it easier to edit and customise applications associated with certain file extensions.
Another boon of the software is the way it handles compressed files for you. Thanks to an icon at the bottom of the screen, you can view the contents of zipped files just as you would if they were in an ordinary folder, along with the ability to uncompress them.
With a dazzling array of other features including an an image viewer, drag-and-drop file movement and secure storage, Resco File Explorer really is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to managing files on your handheld. If anything, the sheer range of features, toolbar items and settings may put off new owners of a Palm device.
But for those who have grown tired of the simplistic file navigation on the Palm, Resco Explorer is a gift from on high.

From the publisher of Resco Explorer 2008
Resco File Explorer implements complete file manipulation tools, selected launcher features, zipper, image viewer and a lot of other tools. You get in one package a handset of tools that used to be scattered in various applications.
One of the best features of the Explorer is its customizability: the user may choose between one- or two-panel modes, horizontal or vertical layout and setup other display aspects. Note also the possibility of one-handed control and the support of all common devices and resolutions.
- File Manager
The File Manager is the heart of the Explorer. It is stable and efficient and it provides a comfortable way for file operations such as copying, moving, deleting, renaming, etc.
It offers many enhanced functions such as drag&drop, copy&paste, multi-selection, RAM/card conversions, powerful sorting, searching and filtering.
Launcher abilities
- Launcher abilities
Explorer allows the user to start the applications stored in RAM, on the card or even in the zip archives.
Moreover, by tapping on a suitable file you can launch the associated application.
An editor of file associations is available, too.
- Control Panel
Integrates more enhanced features such as editors of preferences, file associations or alarms as well as additional system information.
- Backup
People often think of backup when it is too late...
Explorer backup offers similar functionality to the competing packages, but it does so very fast and needs less card space.
And one more thing — the backup verification (since v2.42) makes it possible to reliably test the backup results. You can decide whether to trust the backup set without complicated testing.
- Zipper
Zipper offers the cheapest way to save significant amounts of storage space.
The used algorithm is PC compatible, so you can extract archives created on a desktop PC and vice-versa.
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.
- Built-in Image Viewer
A simple fast 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. Alternatively the external viewers can be employed.
- Hex Viewer
Enables preview of the selected file in different modes: image, hex, text, database.
Database mode also allows delete of individual records.
Text mode offers full editing capabilities.
- Working with txt files
Txt files offer the easiest way to share the information with the non-Palm world.
Text files can be beamed, hotsynced, created and finally edited either with the built-in memopad or using the hex editor.
