Extending the feature list of the built in File Explorer on Windows Mobile devices has been a challenge for many, some have gone as far as creating a new file browser just for the reason they lacked some functionality. Here on your attention we present a very useful, before everything else, file explorer extension that will add a lot of new features on your device.
On the image on the right you can see one of the best features of the file explorer extension that enables you to see thumbnails of the images in your folders while browsing them. You don't have to open each image to see what it is behind those letters and numbers anymore and the image changes as soon as you select another file. I for my self being a hobby photographer carry my portfolio on my phone and I must say the file explorer extension handles the job quickly even for those big 10 megapixel images (well relatively quickly after all the HTC Diamond is not my QuadCore desktop PC) but it is a very decent performance.
This is only one of the many features of the File Explorer Extension I personally liked a lot, a summary of the other features it adds is available on the next page.

-
Resizable header for easy sorting by file name, date of last modification or size
