> File Associate - Open files differently
Bookmark topic
A new program has been released, offering a customization feature that has been requested since long but never available on UIQ until now.
File Associate lists the so-called file type associations, that is various data types along with the viewer applications used to display them. Seeing such list is a novelty on UIQ and quite rare in Symbian in general - and you can even change the associations! That is, if you have another suitable viewer that you like better, you can assign it to the respective file type.
As an example, you can use Docs To Go for opening .doc files, but use QuickOffice for viewing .xls and .ppt files, as you like.
With File Associate you also receive
Generic viewer, an application that supports displaying flash, ZIP, text and binary files. You will be able to view local
flash files by one click, browse ZIP file contents, and look into any file that you find on your phone. All this works within any standard file manager that opens files using the associations maintained by the operating system.
Major features:
- Lists the file type associations on the phone.
- Changes what viewer application is started when opening a document file (available on SonyEricsson phones).
- Includes Generic viewer application for viewing ZIP, text and binary files.
- Supports viewing local flash files using the Opera Flash Plug-in.
Free trial is available. Enjoy the program, and share your views here.
Current version:

Nice application, but since this program is not free, is it ok to use Esato/the community as your personal advertising platform? It just seems a little odd to me

@zed: nice. I hope that CPS keeps developing apps for uiq's. This is a nice app. Will be trial versions?

Sure, the stuff you download is free and fully functional for two weeks, at which time it asks for registration.

Nice app (from description) but I could not get it working
Just downloaded it from your site, installed OK, I restarted my phone and launch the File Associate, whoops: "trial expired, plrease register"
Can't get past that point. When I press "continue" not entering registration code, it closes. What should I do to evaluate it?

Yes, the above problem seems to occur on "random" phones, and is being worked on. There will be an update as soon as the reason is determined. Sorry for the inconvenience.
