Also improved performance and UI.

Voyager 3.1 Beta3 works now for:

• PPC2002 (tested on LOOX 600)
• WM2003 (tested on MDA)
• WM2005 (Tested on MDA Compact II)

Maybe it’s time to adjust the review at “The Gadgeteer”.
Please consider that Voyager 3.0 was built for PPC2002/WM2003 and was never tested on WM5. Voyager 3.1 was tested now for WM5.

Also consider that Voyager 3.1 was still not tested for WM6 :unsure: …

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Also consider that the software which is completely free of bugs is the software which will never be written…

(of course also works with PPC2002 and WM2003 too )

Not being the .net expert, I appreciate Harald’s input. Its got some good information for those not familiar with programs that utilize the MS compact framework and issues they may have with their particular device.

Thanks again Harald for the follow-up!

Hi,

some information for you:

1. Voyager was developed with the .NET Compact Framework 1.0 and only supports PPC2002 and WM2003 at the moment. The icon problem occurs only under WM2005. See screen-shots at http://www.hfrmobile.com/app_Voyager_T1/index.htm (to put this in other words: Thank you again, Microsoft
)

2a. The standard file explorer (PPC2002, WM2003) does not have following basic features: “Execute With”, “File/Shortcut properties dialog”, “Configurable user interface”, “View Modes (Large, Small List and Details”, “Sort Modes: By Name, By Size, By Last Change”, “File attribute column”, “Favorites directory as menu items” (some of this was the reason starting developing Voyager far time ago using Beta-Versions of CF)

2b. Also displaying hidden files is not possible using the standard file explorer

3. “I contacted the developer but no response or fix was provided prior to the completion of this review.” –> I looked at my inbox and cannot find your e-mail… Since I have your e-mail(?) and I switched to another mail server it may lost!?

4. Workarounds for WM2005:
4a. Disable Icons (Tools|Options>Extended: Display icons=No)
4b. Attribute column (Tools|Options>General: Display attribute column=Yes)
So you’ll see in the attribute column if a file is encrypted or not. If you see a “+” in the attribute column -> do not click. (e.g. The help says the following: “Do not encrypt files in the ‘My Documents’ folder if for these files the automatic convert option of ActiveSync is enabled!”

5. Compact Framework: Is already installed on newer devices (since WM2003)

Regards,
Harald-René Flasch
