Support for Portable Devices

[Filehero]

Next year.

Hangover testing.

Just to wetten your mouths...

What kind of sorcery is this?!

Code: Select all

+++ Portable Devices: Step 1 of many steps to come. You should now see your
      USB-connected portable devices in the folder tree (in Maxi Tree; they
      won't automatically show up in Mini Tree). Right-click menu on them should
      work as well. That's it for now.

Works over here (Lumia 830, WP 8.1 "Denim").

Fastest test ever.

It makes sense to change the thread title to reflect the official feature naming, e.g. "Support for Non-Drive Devices [Portable Devices]"

Happy New Year!

Cheers,
Filehero

/e: reflected recent additions to the change logs

Step 1 completed. Step 2...

Done.

Happy New Year!

The new beta version 14.80.0004 with the device support sucks! I plugged a portable coffee maker into the computer and ran:

Code: Select all

::makecoffee

and it did not do anything!!

[admin]

I'll think about it. Actually there should be user-defined custom devices...

Should it work regardless of the MTP/MSC setting in the device? Because my Android 4.2 doesn't show up.

[admin]

What kind of device is that? Does it show up in Explorer?

Speaking from personal experience: where are you looking for it? I was looking for it in the mini tree and in "Computer", but then found it under the "Computer" toolbar btn, and also in the maxitree.

Good point. I updated the change log.

Just another explicit feedback: I don't see it in "drives" view under MyPC. IMO, it should also be shown there with the official release.

Yep.

Ah ah, ok! Loaded a fresh XY, and now I can see my phone in the MaxiTree and in the breadcrumb dropdown. I have MiniTree constantly on, and I thought I would see the device in My PC tab and in the rightclick menu when clicking on the My PC tree node.

Another question: the device is visible only, right? Not browsable yet?

[admin]

Correct. It's a LOT of work...
