In my attemps to open files from MobileFinder i stumbled upon MobileStudio mobilestudio - Google Code . yes, i acknowledge that it's been out awhile, but can i install this on my jailbroken 3G FW 2.2?

In the MobileFinder I have working via Cydia I noticed there are File Associations which I assume allow you to open files directly from Finder. I basically just want to be able to open a file in a text editor from Finder - instead of typing the path in gTextEdit.

I downloaded the zip from mobilestudio - Google Code placed it in /Applications, extracted. The icons appeared on the springboard but the apps crashed when I tried to load them.

Learn via IRC that the binaries must be signed. Stumbled upon this Bypassing iPhone Code Signatures - Jay Freeman (saurik) and between those two sources tried

Code:

ldid -S Program

..but to no avail. Before signing I also made sure to run

Code:

chmod +x

on it. And does it really matter if run

Code:

chown -R root:wheel

on my app folder (or is root:admin acceptable)?

Have spent about 12-15 hours dorking around on this now - hope someone can help. Also since I deleted Installer.app from the system via MobileFinder I attempted the reinstall with the same method above w/ the file from here iPhone Jailbreak & Install only to get the same crash pressing icon on springboard. I guess when I upgrade to FW 2.2.1 I will have Installer again, but still I'd like to have MobileStudio - it seems cool!

I don't know what's the matter there (maybe MobileFinder was the only one of those programs to be updated for the 2.x firmware). But I would like to suggest the excellent iFile (from Cydia), a file browser & viewer and text editor. It does most of what MobileFinder/MobileStudio should do but better. It also includes options to create or unpack zip files, download files to/from your computer over wifi, attach one or more files to an email, and do things to multiple files at once.

thanks Jim - iFile works great! guess I missed that on my Cydia Apps radar.

thx again!!
