Hi!
Maybe i missed it somewhere, but i cant find ANY way to rename a file from say download.php to install.cab!
How can i do it on the ppc without needing activesync PC?
I have tried both built-in explorer and Resco file explorer... all they let me do is change the filename, but never the extension!!

Cheers //Maciekish

In Rexco click on File > Options then the Browser tab. Uncheck hide file extensions. I don't think this will do what you want it to do though. download.php is just a webpage extension not a program AFAIK.

If you are lazy and have a misconfigured linux server then some redirected downloads like downloads from webmail systems will always be named download.php or somethink like that and you have to rename them manually!

Im so stupid. How could i miss that? I looked at that tab at least twice lol

Let uc know if the renaming works. What program was it?

It works with Resco file explorer U only have to change the options as of above =)

I meant about the download.php, I have to download files to my PPC's storage card and run them through my computer when I'm at home and would like to avoid your problem.

I'm looking into a bluetooth dongle for the laptop but it will be awhile before I can actually get to a store.

im not at home so much so i need a way to install programs and watch downloaded powerpoints and so on.

Anyone know of any other options (besides Resco and "divine PC intervention"...) of renaming a file extension (i.e. example.txt -> example.cpp, etc.)?

For those of us w/o Resco...

why would we need more options? one well working is enough isnt it?

I use total commander and i change file extensions all the time and they work fine for me. Specifically chaning vids from avi to wmv...hmphh..in the odd case that is.
