Mobile Device

Hello all
Can anyone tell me why I cannot see my "Mobile Device" in 2xexplorer?
I get this message: some items in the folder were not accessible.
Mobile Device is a Pocket PC in its cradle connected through ActiveSync.

sorry, i don't know (perhaps another palm user out there?)

you could try the new alpha version of xplorer2 to see if it is any better. Even if this fails in a similar fashion it would give me much more information (hopefully) on the reasons behind the failure. See the website for details

Unfortunately, it does not work either

In Windows Explorer, it allows to explore a Mobile Device connected just as if it was a Drive: perfect to copy files.
I suppose 2x Explorer would need to communicate with some ActiveSync feature...

sometimes these external devices don't go through the normal channels but "hook" themselves into the explorer's process (& tree) or use other undocumented procedures to link up.

Although they seem "natural" within explorer, other external programs like 2x cannot integrate with them. I could not be 100% sure -- lacking a test bed to test these -- but I have to point the finger to the particular device you're using (unless you find another explorer replacement that does a better job :) )
