Simple File Manager v0.1 released

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Zoned a valued member over at PS3NEWS has released his Simple File Manager application which allows you to copy, move, delete files on the PS3 and includes a pointer for easy navigation.

After creating Simple AVCHD Manager - the first AVCHD manager for a jailbroken PS3.

Some of the other programs I have been exploring had the requirement for a file selection screen in common, so i decided to create a simple file manager utilizing a pointer like Multiman and added some other useful functions.

As this is only version 0.1 it has a few areas that need cleaned up and only has some of the planned functionality implemented.

Disclaimer:
While problems are not expected to exist the potential is there so any usage is entirely at your own risk.

Functions:

• Allows shortcuts to be defined in SFM_options.ini - named this way so multiple option files for different applications can be stored in the same directory on a usb device.
• Allows selection of multiple files for copy/move/delete.
• Allows folder size to be calculated and displayed, along with number of files etc.

Controls:

In Device list
X - open in left panel
O - open in right panel

In left/right panels
L1 - Page Up
L2 - Page Down
L3 - Add Shortcut to Device list
R1 - Get folder size
R2 - Select file/folder
R3 - Future - Rename function
X - Enter Directory
O - Up directory
/\ - Copy selected files/folders
[] - Delete selected files/folders
SELECT - Toggle Controls

2nd Controls
L3 - Future - Save shortcuts to ini file
R2 - Toggle Selection
/\ - Move selected files/folders

Future functions:
Planned to be implemented future in versions (time permitting on which of these get done as some will need investigation to determine feasiblity)

• Better progress display when copying multiple files
• Play media files
• alternative visualisations for audio playback
• Rename/Create Directory and other standard file manager functions
• Search option
• Display text files
• Edit text files
• User configuration in INI file of colour scheme
• Ability to display/copy contents of Archives
• Allow to be called in single panel mode by other programs and return the selected file/folder to the calling program
• Other functions that are requested will be considered

Apologies for the rubbish screenshots will try to get better ones for the next release

In the future please post CORRECT news, the original source of this program is PS3NEWS, not your silly "JailbreakScene" blog that steals news feeds from all the various sites.

Ever tried Comgenie's Awesome File Manager ?
Never let me down

[ando]

is there no way to get a file manager to launch eboot's?

[arifi]

Is it possible to move game updates from the internal to external hdd and still be able to play the game?I ask this because game updates take so much space on my 60 gb ps3.

include winrar or 7zip will be more useful for file extracting in ps3 internal HD..
