Is xplore project for symbian is dead now? From 1.56 it has reached 2.03 but symbian is avoided.So we will never have symbian update again?

It looks that Symbian version won't cross version 2.0 boundary.

Sorry, LCG have to move on. Look on some table data.

Hello,
Yesterday I purchased and downloaded X-Plore which is in version 1.56 and then you talk about a version 2.0, apparently the market because when looking for an update online it says that we have the last to date in this case version 1.56. If the version 2.0 for Symbian is, where can I find it?
cordially

There is no version 2.0 for Symbian and there will not be anyone. LCG has stopped their development for Symbian phones.

It feels very bad that android and windows is getting newer versions and that too free!LCG if we symbians are never going to get the latest version then atleast one last free version is deserved by symbian users.We never enjoyed the bliss of xplore as freeware and seeing version 2.11 for android and windows,it adds salt to the wound.Final goodbye shouldnt have been something like this.

You are complaining about alack of cash inflow from Symbian!? Well I can tell you why...

You sticked to your own widget set and your own very limited UI while most models have moved to full touch only input, your software was only powerful in combination with HW keyboards. All the shortcuts needed proper touch integration.

With C++, Qt, Qt Quick QML Components you could've used your backend and easily provided the BEST experience on the whole platform and even price it apropriately. You lacked only a PR department effort to push your softare, no social channels, no effort to push it to Top OVI sales by afew tricks.

That's the reason on why nobody bought it.

Take a look at your own provided data on that wiki link, Symbians deployed user base ist still the second biggest, yet you don't support them anymore. It's because of opportunistic developers like you that the platform itself became unviable for you.

Sad to see it discontinued sincer there are so many issues that still needed to be adressed.

Good Luck out there! You should've at least open sourced your app if you don't provide any more support and don't gain cash from it. I wished for the same for JBakTaskMan so that at least in community efforts a UX/UI overhaul would have been possible.

Your reputation is beeing hurt if you let X-Plore exist in its current form.

Hope that at least someday we get some equivalent!

Cheers from Germany :-)

Thanks for insight :)
But who is complaining about lack of cash inflow, and from where do you learn that nobody bought it?

There's nothing so wrong with Symbian, it is/was very nice and usable platform. But with limited developer resources, we have to decide what interesting we go to do next.

Then of course I have to pull back my assumption, which obviously was wrong ;-) I am sorry for overshooting my target!

Thanks for the immediate and kind responce.

I am very easily getting emotional over these things nowadays :-)

Cheers

We cant blame you LCG when nokia itself is moving out of symbian.We only say that when no new versions are coming for symbian then you should make it freeware.You already did that for S60v2.Anyways,we all enjoyed xplore and even to this date there is no other file manager that can stand before xplore.If you are moving forward then BEST OF LUCK LCG.We will never forget the gift which you gave us in the form of Xplore.

Basically, Android apps. were based of Java, so you have found it easy to be developed.. So, what is your plan now? Are you going to discontinue the Symbian Xplore? If you do, please release it as a freeware. If you are not interested to Symbian anymore, maybe you also have lost interest to money. We won't have any new version anymore, soon or later we will also lose your support, we deserve xplore as a freeware.
