FileZ

Status: Installed

I have used the freeware program FileZ almost from the first day that I had a Palm. I have used it to delete files, delete preferences, all sorts of things just like you would do on a file explorer on a PC.

FileZ is the premiere freely available file utility for Palm OS. It gives you full access to your handheld’s files, system info, and preferences. The intuitive file browser allows you view, edit, copy, move, delete and send any file located on your handheld or an external card such as Secure Digital (SD) cards or Memory Sticks. FileZ also includes extensive system information, such as memory usage and battery status. A preference editor allows you to view and delete preferences for any application on your handheld. All of this in an easy to use and customizable interface.

Your Files
For any file in your handheld’s internal memory or on an external card, you can view and edit general information such as the file’s name, attributes (full), and dates. Any file can be copied, moved, sent (via Bluetooth or Infrared), or deleted. Files in internal memory can also be directly viewed and edited. You can also view information about any folder, such as the total size, as well as warnings about potential problems with the contents of the folder (illegal file names, etc.). The file listing allows for extensive customization: sort and filter the list in a variety of ways, and select what file information you want to see in the list. With 320×480 resolution support, the file list uses the maximum screen space available. You can also export the file list to the Memo Pad application.

Your Handheld
FileZ presents a wealth of information about your handheld’s internals. Three tabs of information give you details about your handheld’s memory, battery, and syncing. Memory info includes free/available/total amounts, file system info, and more. Battery info includes current/warning/critical values, battery type, and more. Sync info includes some details about your handheld’s identity and sync history.

Your Preferences
An included preference manager within FileZ allows you to view, export, and delete the preferences for any application on your handheld (both saved and unsaved).
