iPhone as Ultraportable: Finder

Finder

An essential function in laptops is a windows environment to navigate through the system files, this in Windows is called Explorer and in Mac Finder. Those of you who have Firmware 3.0 have already seen part of the potential of Finder with Spotlight, the best file search engine I have ever seen. It is fast, in real time (something very difficult to program) and very useful for launching applications or searching for lost files.

Mac Finder has built-in Coverflow, shortcuts on the side and most importantly, QuickLock, a marvel built into Leopard that allows you to view images, PDFs, videos, text files…. Anyway, what I want to argue is that Finder is totally necessary in any operating system created by Apple and that should include OS X iPhone.

As I have already said, one of the most important shortcomings in the iPhone is the lack of Finder, the windows environment par excellence of Mac OS X. Apple has not created a Mobile Finder because it does not want us to navigate through the system folders. He does not want us to be the Root (Administrators) as in Mac, he wants us to be a simple Users (Guest on his system). And to a large extent he is very right, as you already know, all Jailbreak users can access all the files and be able to modify the mobile at will (turn up the volume, record video, UNLOCK the mobile ...) and this is what Jobs does not want . But the solution is very simple: "Aliases", better known as "Direct Accesses".

Finder for iPhone should be the Mac Users folder. That is, it should have the Documents, Downloads, Music and Images folders (to send photos and music without DRM via Bluetooth, or with it, but with the possibility of authorizing the use of a song as it happens in iTunes) and an important one; Applications. In this we would have aliases to applications like TomTom to be able to put the radars but nothing else, so Apple would not be scared by the «Hacking».

But until Apple reconsiders we have two App: MobileFinder (I will not talk about it) and iFile (this one).

So that you can all follow me, I'm going to write you all the refills I use, to avoid questions:

  • clubifone.org/repo/
  • cydia.touch-mania.com
  • xsellize.com/cydia/username (yours) - password (example: xsellize.com/cydia/actualidadiphone-redactores) / IREGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS/
  • cydia.hackulo.us
  • repo.sinfuliphone.com
  • d.imobilecinema.com


Name: iFile

Restock official: BigBoss & Plane-iPhones

Size: 3264 kB (3,2 MB).

Category: Systems

Price: $ 4.00 in the refill official

iFile is a great application that allows us to navigate through all the iPhone folders. With it you can upload files by Wifi (they give you the iP and with it you can access the iPhone) by clicking on the Wifi icon, you can see any video file (but not any format I think I remember) audio, PDF, text document basic (you can edit it), the .logs, .scripts, etc ...

You also have an icon to access your folders marked as favorites, an icon to go to the Home (users / mobile folder) of the iphone and one to customize the App.

The best thing about the App is that you can also move files and folders from one to another and decompress .zip files, something really useful. And, in addition, you can modify the famous permissions (remember the 755, and those things).

    Let's not forget that the great iFile allows us to create files, not only modify them, and create shortcuts, which is very useful to be able to access documents from applications such as pdf reader and file sharing!
    Very good the 2 posts!
    I await the rest.
    Greetings!

    Completely essential, you can attach files to send them by mail (very useful to save your contacts, calendar, messages ...) tb can be compressed. Adding bookmarks is essential so you don't spend an hour searching through the folders every time you enter, the only thing that would make this app perfect would be a search engine, but it's still fantastic.
