there is no way to get this app now? the website of Fisher is down or closed..... anyone know what happened?

[Xaneth]

It's up, just make sure you're typing the url in correctly. I was trying to go to m.jonathanfisher.co.uk rather than m.jonathanhfisher.co.uk for the longest.

Here's one for Google:

[jfisher]

new version:

http://northcubed.com/products/black...thshortcut.zip

usage:

create a directory in the root of your media card called 'shortcut':

/Media Card/shortcut/

extract the zip and put the config.xml file in the directory once you've set it up, for each shortcut you use put the url to link to and the title for the shortcut app:

<shortcut1>http://news.bbc.co.uk</shortcut1>
<title1>BBC News</title1>

Place a png in the directory for each shortcut titled in the format:

/Media Card/shortcut/shortcut1.png

There's now also ten shortcuts...

Please give me feedback and bug reports, i've not tested all ten shortcuts but they should be fine. if after a week there's no significant issues i'll put a proper release page up.

please note: there's zero support for this - it's free. there's no OTA install - if you use this internally at your company please please let me know so i can add a credit to our site.

cheers,
jon

w00t - new version.

I've always wanted to type 'w00t', but never really had a reason. Sheesh, I feel pathetic.

I'll get this loaded up and play around a bit. Thanks Jonathan.

[MrKyoo]

wOOt - that did feel good.

This works very very well - gone is the earlier issue I had with the browser window not showing the page loading unless/until I hit the menu key then escaped out of the menu.

Pretty snappy performance overall. I like it.

I grumble a little over having to edit the config.xml on the desktop (unless I am unaware of a magical way to edit xml files on the device), but hey - it works and it's free, so I'm not whinging.

[Xaneth]

Yes, thanks Jonathan, I was having the same problems, delay in getting the shortcuts to open until I hit the menu key. All is well now, we definitely appreciate your development on this, it most certainly kicks ass! I'll work on an icon pack in Adobe, I know developers for such products as Simple Machines Forums have worked up icon packs for different SMF themes for example. It would be nice to have good icon packs to go along with this idea! Appreciate all those that have put their .png files out here so far in this thread! BB Forums is definitely on my Curve!

An even better one for Google:

when you say the root of the card,what are you referring to because all im seeing is ringtones-music-video-pictures please advise. thanks

[MrKyoo]

The root is the drive of your media card. For me it's drive "F" so I will add the "shortcut" folder to drive "F".

F:\shortcut

there will be when once this community has hammered it and found any bugs. there'll be a nice page with screenshots in a step-by-step guide. probably within the next week.

Create the shortcut folder on the root, right beside your "BlackBerry" folder. Extact config.xml to the "shortcut" folder using Windows Explorer, accessing your memory card as a removable device. Install as many shortcuts as you want on your BB, using Desktop Manager's application installer. I edited my config.xml file in notepad, directly on my PC, right in the shortcut folder. The PNG images are direcly associated with the shortcut number, so your first shortcut's PNG is named shorcut1.png, the second is named shortcut2.png, etc. The PNG's need to also be stored in the shortcut folder alongside config.xml. The one thing I noticed, is that when I pull my battery, the PNG's don't stay associated until you click on them, then they refresh.
