iPhoneBrowser Version 1.2

[cranium]

I finished some more updates to iPhoneBrowser. I think this the final version unless anyone wants to see other features. I feel it's the best drag and drop file manager for the iPhone. I wish I could build in some permission changing on the phone, but I don't see that anytime soon.

New in this version:

• Added "Go to Location" Feature that automatically opens common locations (see screenshot)
• Auto preview of audio files (ringtones and UI sounds)
• Capability to create new blank folders and delete empty folders (no drag and drop of folders yet)
• UI Improvements

Along with the old features:

• Automatic Preview of text and non-Apple formatted picture files
• Save As for any file
• Backup File(s)
• Replace File(s)
• Delete File(s)
• View Backups

Make sure you have at least V7.3.1 of iTunes installed. If you still get errors, make sure you have the Manzana.dll and iTunesMobileDevice.dll in the same directory as iPhoneBrowser.exe.

I haven't tried it...I guess you should be able to do it, but I am not sure how the iPhone gets its database of songs. I'll give it a look.

Edit: I looked. The iPhone has its own database of files and directories in its own words. Take a look in /var/root/media/Itunes_control/Music...there are a bunch of letter and number directories (i.e. F01 - F13) with files in each with just letters (i.e. FAKD.mp3 and DSCI.mp3 and BWZA.mp4). I don't think it would recognize if you just dropped an Mp3 in there...

Yeah ....thats what I was looking at and and seeing how all the mp3's are named, is a file encryption method being used so that we can't see/add our own mp3's ...and is there a way around it?
Thanks.

considering that's how they are arranged in an iPod, I would think it might not be impossible to extract the mp3 names as with Yam-iPod.

I can't get this working on vista. I try to run it and it says AMDeviceNotificationSubscribe failed with error -402653180
The program will now exit

anyway we could get this on a mac, cause iFunstastic sucks, and SSH is annoying

When I ran into this error before, I found iTunes not installed properly (the iTunesHelper app wasn't running on startup like it should. I reinstalled iTunes and it worked fine.
