ok something you guys might find useful..how to hide files...

make a folder with a name starting from dot in MyDocs. eg .folder

then use the path file:///home/user/MyDocs/.folder to access the contents of this folder..the files here are not visible in any of the music n video players, but when u open them from browser they work just fine :)

props to the OP for this thread, picked up a few nice tips already.

when you "swipe in" from the left and get a mouse cursor, press the mouse cursor tab on the left to enable text highlighting, ctrl-c to copy, then press the tab again to resume normal browsing.

also holding caps+left or right arrow highlights text

Too lazy to read whole thread, but I use quite much Mozilla/Firefox shortcuts that work on MicroB also. Ctrl+n opens new window, Ctrl+l takes you to location bar, Ctrl+f opens search etc..

Love the spacebar to pagedown in browser and CTRL SHIFT I for text reflow in browser.

Great thread.

however, this way the private folder and its contents would still be visible in the File Manager and you can use the file manager to view,copy, paste or delete the files.
Whereas if you use the method i suggested (creating .foldername) the files would not be visible in file manager also..but you would need to connect the phone to a pc to manage the files through mass storage


so take your own pick...your phone, your security, your choice!! :)
