FExplorer is an excellent file manager, and is our recommended tool for installing and uninstalling software where the default methods fail.

It's core is a suite of file managing abilities, which are basically complete;

* Cut, copy & paste files
* Check date modified & size
* Display free space available
* View file with inbuilt text viewer
* Cut, copy, create & paste directories
* File find. (although this only works within a directory)

Additional non-file manager related features are:

* Take screenshots
* Set your backlight to be permanently on.
* Send files via bluetooth. (may be necessary to rename .sis to .sis_)
* Compress memory - increasing available free memory

There are references to Infrared support, but these obviously will not work on a Nokia 7610. Usage is also extremly intuitive, and the keyboard shortcut information is built into the app. (i.e. by accessing a function, it's related keyboard shortcut will be revealed)

A possible improvement would be to include the capability of "marking" files, so that multiple files may be dealt with at the same time, but the lack of this is generally not at issue, because directories maybe dealt with. It would also be very nice if the application could search the entire phone for a file.

What’s new in 1.15:
- in a search, if a directory is found, the right key enters into this folder.
- the full path of the files is displayed while browsing the inbox, process and tasks.
- A check (with a message) is now performed before copying or moving files to ensure there is free space enough on the destination drive.
- in the ’tools menu’, added a function to directly call the bluetooth manager.
- added a progress dialog with the name of the file being copied.
- in the hex viewer, the keys ’3’ and ’9’ can be used as page-up, page-down.
- in the hex viewer, when in full screen mode, the file is displayed on 8 bytes, the ascii characters are displayed at the top, line per line.
- in the hex viewer, with small files, corrected a bug to avoid FE to panic and exit when going down ’too deeply’ in the text.
- added a function in the ’edit’ menu to invert the selection of the current directory - marked files and dir become un-marked and un-marked become marked.
- it’s now possible to mark folders (like the files) and copy/cut/paste them with the files.
- added the latest phones in the phone type list (3230,6680,6681,6682,N70,N90).
- added, in the ’tools’ menu, an option to dump (into a log file placed in the root) a list of *all* the installed applications with their UID and their path; this file can then be sended to the pc via bluetooth, infrared; the result is something like this (06/29/2005) :
- when displaying the full path in the ’small scrolling windows (key : [2])’, the [1] key copies the full path and filename into the clipboard to be used in the notepad, ....
- after a ’compress memory’, the new -free memory- value is displayed in the navigation pane (ie: the screen is refreshed).
- fixed the bug to avoid to use 2 times the ’NO’ key on exit.
- the attributes of a file can now be modified.
- it’s now possible to save the screenshots either in the phone memory or in the MMC.
- like the processes, the currently running tasks can be displayed, killed,...
