Y-Browser 0.80 by PushL
I’m sure that there are few readers of this blog who don’t already know about Y-Browser but I wanted to make sure everyone knew about the latest release version - 0.80.
Version 0.77 brought add-on support along with three add-ons: Zip, Text Viewer, and Mail folder support. Now version 0.80 has tweaked the appearance of Y-Browser and added some great new features. Upon upgrading, the first thing you’ll notice is that the app finally has an SVG icon. Granted it’s nothing breathtaking, but I’m happy to be rid of the pixilated icon in versions past…
While on the subject of icons, Y-Browser version 0.80 is the version file manager to support the ability to change the internal display icon set. A new ‘Extra icons’ add-on provides users with four new SVG icon sets to choose from on top of the old bitmap set.
Beyond that, the app now calls to external icons for certain known file types that display as you browse. The image below shows the folder and document icons from the internal ‘Tango’ icon set along with the external SIS icon and the DOC/TXT and XLS icons from Office Suite 3.
Another new feature in this build is the ability to toggle portrait and landscape display modes with the ‘Switch layout’ option. Don’t get too excited though, as your display will be returned to the default perspective when you exit the app.
Y-Browser allows for fast and easy file transfers. With one or multiple files selected, simply choose File -> Send and Y-Browser gives you the option to send the file(s) via MMS, email, Bluetooth, infrared, or web upload.
Another one of my favorite features of this app is the shortcuts. Y-Browser allows you to assign a wide variety of operations to your keypad keys 0-9 for the fastest possible access to most of the app’s functions.
Just when all of the buzz is focused on FExplorer and X-plore, PushL’s new build reminds us why Y-Browser is certainly the best available file management option for s60 3rd devices. Of course FExplorer and X-plore are still in beta so who knows what future releases will bring…

I agree that it's definitely worth the upgrade. The new features are great! The one thing I'll note is that you should restart the app each time you switch icons and the new set will be displayed.
As for the theme, thanks a lot. It is the 'Alternatate' version theme in the Black & Blue 2-pack.

two thumbs up for a well designed colourful n informative site,thank you for makin such a thing.
im using the new y browser its user interface is fantastic however im havin a problem:
ive reset my phone but previously i copied my meesages to the pc then cut and paeted them to the drafts part of the messages on my phone(it cant be pasted to the inbox using the pc)so i have used the mail part of the y browser n it says thers no data in the draft part however they r already there,i think this programme is missing the function of copying,cutting n pasting from the mail part using the ybrowser.to b sure of that ive saved those msgs to a folsder in the memory card n tried copying them from there to paste them into the inbox/outbox but u guessed it it didnt work.if it matters im using a E61 with the latest firmware.
keep up the goodwork here n in mobile9.
cheers

As for copying and pasting your messages back into your inbox, I don't think that the method you're using will work. The only way that I know of to do it is by using the backup functionality within PC Suite. I admittedly have not tried the method that you're using but I think the security limitations within S60 3rd may prevent it from working.

Options -> Settings -> Icons leads me to a blank dialog that says "Select icon file... (No Data).
Also, one nigglie, why does the DrJukka folder install in the "Menu" area of my E62 instead of the "Intsallations" folder like every other Symbian app?
Thanks in advance for any information and thank you to DrJukka for all his efforts with this app.
