Resco has just released Resco Explorer 2007 - an update on the new features will come soon. The program’s price has risen to 30$; but the program is currently on special offer in the TamsShop at just 25$.
Resco Explorer’s file management functions(Resco Explorer review part 1) alone are worth the 15$ admission fee. But Resco goes even further and adds in a few free plugins that shoudln’t be overlooked - let’s go!
Today Plugin
The Today plugin for Resco Explorer adds a variety of features to the today screen. First of all, it displays battery and memory statuses(sort of like HP’s plugin above does):
However, this plugin goes even further. Resco Explorer allows you to ’send folders’ and bind applications to the plugin. They can then be accessed right from the Today screen. Clicking the checkbox opens a list of currently running programs - click the X to close one of them.
System Info
System Info shows the memory and battery statuses. Additionally, it sometimes provides a ‘eta’ of the remaining run time:
Resco Registry
Resco Registry is regedit for PocketPC - a registry editor for the PocketPC’s registry. The program has a ‘tree view’ mode where the registry structure can be inspected:
Tapping a folder shows the contained keys:
The various types of key can be edited easily:
Last but not least, the so-called FTP plugin allows Resco Explorer to access FTP folders…
Overall, Resco Explorer alone is a must-have for the PocketPC platform. The addons make Resco Explorer a bargain for the price of 15$. Resco’s Today Plugin will really save time - if brightness and wireless toggles would be integrated too, it could easily be a product of its own. Congratulation to Resco PPC - well done, no eekers found!
