Source Code may be unavailable soon
November 6, 2010

Due to some recent reflections, the FATXplorer source code may remain private and the Source Code section of the website removed.
Why?
One of the main reasons is because everything is all linked to a ton of things and creating a redistributable version of the FATX classes and such would be a ton of [...]

I have been hard at work this week on the Windows file browser. As expected, it is taking forever to code and it is VERY frustrating. It is coming along well, though. Should be done or near done at the end of the week. Here is a picture. The goal is to make it work like Windows Explorer. It has a [...]

I hope you guys have a frightful night tonight and get lots of sweet treats. Get your Halloween spirit on by turning on the Pumpkin skin in FATXplorer.
Working on Explorer
October 30, 2010

I have now started work on the actual file explorer and file transfer code. It has been a long time since I have opened it up and I will need to recode most of it to implement new things. I saved this part for the end of the project because it is the most boring part to code and also the largest. I [...]

I recently realized I could sign my assemblies without building them. So I took advantage of it and recreated the FATXplorer packages. My assemblies are now signed with my code signing key and a few documents and links have been put in as well. They are also in .zip archives now (and will be from [...]
Start Page!

The Start Page replaces the News Feed while incorporating elements of the News Feed into it. It was designed to be a small portal to the experience with a short and sweet welcome message. It will also display any issues that need to be addressed. (ex: Licensing status) Not much more to say about [...]
10/24 Update

It’s been a while so here’s a quick rundown on what is up.
As I mentioned earlier, I began a quest to learn more about USB devices. There is a lot more that meets the eye and honestly, you need to know about this stuff if you are going to make a USB explorer. None of the information is public so [...]
Licensing Problems Addressed

by Eaton
A lot of people were having problems with the new licensing webpage designed for quick and easy activation code generation for v1.2. It has now been improved:
-It will no longer report that you have already generated an activation code. The details you enter are now properly checked before the [...]
Extended USB Research
October 13, 2010
by Eaton
FATXplorer was already the first program to support USB devices, but I decided to take it one step further. I will not reveal many technical details as of now, but I found out what the certificate in the first data file protects and the discovery may lead to custom sized USBs on retail, if not [...]
NEW: Sector Tools
October 11, 2010
by Eaton
I got a feature request a while ago to add this. So I took a few hours to implement it. This little tool will dump the specified sector to a file and even write sectors back. The majority of users probably will not use it, but it will probably come in handy for the more technically literate [...]
