where are the inbox files located? - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hi!
anyone here knows where the exact folder those sms messages are stored?

in the database 'pmailFolders' lookup the desired foldername,
then open that foldername as a database.
these folders have names like 'fldr10019e7', these likely different
on each machine.
the databases are not visible as files. although the explorer will show them in
\My Computer\Mobile Device\My Pocket PC\Databases
but you can only see them there.

A few issues

Hiya
Firstly, may I say what a great resource this forum is!! I've learnt a lot and I've only had the XDA for just under 2 months!
SMS storage, is anyone closer to finding out where this is stored? I have managed to locate the messages you send OUT in the windows\messaging folder, though it's only the actual text and doesn't contain any of the timestamped stuff etc. I cannot for the life of me find where the inbox for sms should be. I know others have had similar problems.
Cleartype, I have it enabled and it looks great, but it doesn't seem to appear everywhere. ie the Today screen. I did have a program (I think it might be Pocketblinds) but I found it unstable to the point where I would turn off the pda part, then back on again to find that the custom start menu icon had disappeared. Grrrr. Does anyone know a way to make cleartype effects appear on the today screen? I've tried putting a reg entry in various places of the registry for it but to no avail.
Also, if there is a way to bind together numbers and contact info for incoming SMS messages, presumably the same would apply for outgoing ones. Does anyone know of a program to do with sent items as sms_name by paragon does for inbox entries?
Thanks in advance

This may seem a stupid question, as I say I'm new to the XDA and hope to start writing programs for it soon (I've been a programmer for a while but not in this style)....
how do I open it "as a database"? I've tried going into Databases and selecting it but i cannot drag it to the desktop or open it in file explorer on the phone.
Cheers

If you are interested in enabling celartype (any many other enhancements) you should check pocket facelift.

[Q] Easily create folders for images

Is there some gallery app or an app that allows me to easily create folders for images.
I know about file browsers but thats not exactly what I want.
This may help:
Folder Organizer
I use it, but not for images.
There is also this:

Folder based DNLA sharing app?

Hi,
I have a ton of mp3 folders neatly organized on my GS2 and sometimes when I have people over I´d like to simply share a playlist that I´ve created on a folder. Is there an app that lets me do that? So far I´ve only found apps that allow you share files by manually selecting each file...which would mean having to select each song one after the last one ended.
WiFi File explorer lets you share any number of files/folders. You just type an IP address in any browser window.

Questions about ignoring or hiding media files

So here is what I have found out so far:
just like on Linux, I can create a folder starting with a "." i.e. ".myhiddenmedia" and it will not show up anywhere except if I use a filemanager and chose to "show hidden files"
I can create an empty file called ".nomedia" and put it into folders I don't want indexed for media
My progress so far:
I have a folder: .myhiddenmedia where I store my stuff I don't want to show up anywhere and I have put a file named .nomedia into some folders I don't want indexed i.e. I didn't want the pictures I send/receive via Whatsapp to show in my image gallery and neither my screenshots so I placed this file in those two folders.
Now the remaining problem I have is that the album cover art for all my music does show up in my media gallery but I cannot go and place a .nomedia file into every subdirectory as I have quite a lot of music and it changes as I copy/delete to and from my desktop. I also fear that a .nomedia file would stop my music from being index too.
How do you guys tame your media?

[Kik] Extract chat log from database

Hey everyone.
I recently found out that Kik auto deletes old message and being a bit of freak about storing old messages, I decided to take the matters into my own hands. I was able to locate the databse file and extract the text from it via SQLite
But when I opened the db file as plain text, I found all the old chat messages in the file but for some reasons, they aren't visiable in the database. I have very limited experience with databases, so if I'm missing something obvious, I'm sorry.
