New in Software Repository

I have added the following Palmos apps to the repository at the top right of the page.

Resco Explorer
This is easily the best for functionality in one package and looks great on the UX-50's HiRes screen. It also allows ftp access to services like StorageMadeEasy.com so that you can upload and download from your cloud drives.

Resco Photo Viewer
With the same look and feel as Resco Explorer, this is a polished piece of software with lots of options.










Network.prc
Sometimes the simplest things are the best. I was fed up with having to keep going into the Prefs app and selecting the network drop-down just to switch off the wireless. This app simply takes you directly to the Network Panel, and if assigned to a hotkey (say Ctrl+1) will take you there in a couple of key clicks. Brilliant!

KeyQuick
I can't pretend to be an expert with this yet, but it allows you to configure your Keyboard to do all sorts of things.

Straight out of the box, it has some pretty neat features enabled though: it makes the Ctrl key "sticky" so instead of holding Ctrl while pressing another button, you can press Ctrl and then the other; and it also makes the up and down keys move between text entry fields, which saves time messing about with the stylus. Genius!
