Upcoming Updates To WiFi File Explorer

After the recent surge in sales of WiFi File Explorer PRO, I also received a surge in emails in parallel to that; some previously undiscovered bugs and some cool new ideas.  I have managed to make a few bug fixes and upgrades in the past couple of days, but before I explain them below, let me just explain something else first...

The idea behind WiFi File Explorer is one of beautiful simplicity - it's just a quick and easy way to transfer files and directories to and from your phone without the need for cables or removing SD cards.  I decided to keep everything simple and easy to use; no configuration needed, no buttons, easy to read instructions, clean interface and everything just works from the moment you start the application (apart from a couple of small bugs you guys found ;) ).  By having a nice, simple, plain HTML webpage (with a bit of Javascript) I can be sure it will be compatible with all browsers.  So by sticking to these principles of keeping everything simple, clean and efficient, we all have a very reliable application to use day in, day out.  It doesn't try and do anything else other than what it claims to and I think that by sticking to these core principles is what makes it appealing to most users - if things are useful, work easily and don't cost a lot, people will like them.  Simple!  It's also why I can offer it to you for the bargain price of £0.69 - literally a few pennies that could end up saving you a lot of bother when it comes to moving files around.

So because of this philosophy behind WiFi File Explorer, I am not going to go mad by adding too many bells and whistles ... but what I am going to do is add some new features that are simple and efficient, and will help to make it even more of a pleasure to use.  I'll list the bug fixes and new features after the jump:

In the update I will be making later tonight, the following will be included:

• Support for special (unicode) characters - everyone worldwide can now enjoy WiFi File Explorer!;
• Fix the bug that prevented filenames with an ' in the name from being deleted and copied;
• Add multi-select support to delete and zip multiple files at once;
• Icons next to files and directories to denote the type;
• Make the file list clearer with regards to row colouring.

In the near future I will also be adding:

• Password support;
• The ability to configure the port number;
• Add multi-select support to delete and zip multiple directories at once;
• Option to create new directories;
• Easier navigation to parent directories;
• More sorting options.

And in the further future, I will be adding:

• The ability to rename files and directories;
• Thumbnails/galleries for images;
• Possibly the ability to move files and directories (but not drag and drop);
• A more accurate progress bar;
• And of course, a pony (???).

Any more ideas are always welcomed, so don't be afraid to email me at pauldyble82@gmail.com.  But remember though, I want to keep to the core principles that allow this application to be simple, efficient and most importantly to you guys, cheap! ;)
