PRS-T1: When will it have a file explorer?

Greetings.
The PRS-T1 can store 32GB of e-books, yet it has no way of navigating a file directory structure that might contain the corresponding gazillion files and subdirectories. Instead, I’m supposed to unsort my files and (I believe) manually enter them using Sony’s software. This is really quite appalling.
While the collections/metadata modality with its ever-so-cute cover photos does make for an attractive home screen--I’m sure many shoppers have admired it while heading for the Kindles and Nooks--it’s quite unworkable and undesirable for larger collections. And also for smaller collections, depending upon one’s preferences.
Can I expect a file explore app from Sony that I can install into my new PRS-T1 so that I can keep my ebooks my way, or must I really waste more of my scant free time trying to “root” this gadget and turn it from an ereader, to a palmtop computer, to a better ereader?

I totally agree. The current way of displaying content used pdf and mp3 meta data which on many files is garbage. I have had to waste a lot of time editing this information to get even a barely acceptable way of display the ebook and mp3 content of the reader.
A standard tree file directory display is essential for larger collections of material from many different sources. This should be an optional display format.
Surely this cannot be to difficult to implement in a future firmware upgrade.

  • When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability?

    When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability? I have a large text file I need to upload to my iPhone, search, and dial.
    Anything planned?

    I had a Palm the I used for work and travel it had a very nice application called DOCUMENTS TO GO. It allowed you to upload, view, and edit .doc, .xls, and .ppt files. this was very handy when traveling. Also, I could sync my palm with my iMac and work PC using bluetooth, took care of the file transfers as well. I would like to have the same capability on my iPhone. I bought it to replace all of my old stuff i need it to the same as my old stuff. I hope that Apple reads this and gets on the ball. Until then I still have to carry my Palm or thumb drive on trips.

  • WHEN will you support raw files for Canon 70D in PE? This camera has been out for months!

    WHEN will you support raw files for Canon 70D in PE? This camera has been out for months!

    Hi,
    PSE 12 with updates or PSE 13 should support the Canon 70D.
    Which version do you have and which operating system are you running on?
    If you have an older version of PSE, you could use the DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files - then you can use the DNG files in PSE.

    Me TV is most often a sub-channel (secondary or tertiary channel) from local broadcast TV stations that may or may not elect to offer them over the air and-or offer them to Comcast to have available on cable.
    There is not currently a broadcast station in your area that offers Me TV.

  • When will iTunes have a Ukraine store?

    When will iTunes have a Ukraine store?

    The following must be said in relation to this discussion ...
    Ukraine is a modern European country of more than 45 million people.  Ukraine is an independent state with its own unique language and culture.  Since breaking free from the evil Soviet Union, Ukrainian society has taken major steps to rid itself of the stagnant Soviet model which included Russified linguistic, cultural, economic, social, media, and political tendencies. Ukrainians should not have to depend on Apple in Russia or Poland, or any other neighbouring country to fully enjoy Apple products.
    Apple Inc. can start by fully enabling APPLE.UA as the official site for Apple in Ukraine - oh, and please make sure the website is presented in the official language of Ukraine - UKRAINIAN !!!

  • When will we  have IOS6.0 for IPDA one?

    When will we  have IOS6.0 for IPDA one?

    Apple stopped selling the iPad 1 two and a half years ago.  Your iPad 1 can still do all the things it could do back then.  It is not capable of running iOS 6 since it does not have some of the chips in that iOS 6 requires.  There's nothing anyone can do about it.  If you find this unacceptable, please contact Apple.  There's no point posting about it here: nobody from Apple has any responsibility for reading these groups.  We are just users of Apple devices helping each-other solve technical problems.
    If your needs have changed in the last 2.5 years, then you will have to buy a new device.  If your needs are still the same as they were 2.5 years ago, then your iPad should still be doing the same things it did back then.
    I trust that this answers the question you have about your iPad.  If you need help with a technical on a different subject but still related to "iPad in Business and Education", please do not hesitate to post it.
