After nTouch Radio, I was planning on doing research into a topic in Computer Science which I have always been interested in. I knew I had previously downloaded papers about the subject but couldn't for the life of me remember what I had downloaded and their file names. So I wrote FileAway.
FileAway allows the registering of documents so that the user can find out what documents he has. FileAway allows entry of document details into a database and presents the information on a ListView. On a LongClick, the item in the ListView is opened using respective default document viewers. FileAway has nTouch Radio's category navigation system and a FileBrowser to allow the document to be easily found (path). Further, I thought that it would be more complete with a PDF metatdata scan utility as the vast majority of my documents are in PDF format. Unfortunately, most of the PDF documents I have encountered do not have the metadata properly written and to make things even more complicated, the PDF formats have different idiosyncrasies e.g. one token may be continuous with another token, whilst yet another may have a newline in place of a space etc. etc..Nevertheless the scan utility is there and if the User has a document with the metadata properly entered, it becomes a very pleasant experience. FileAway was submitted for testing yesterday.
