iFile is currently the most complete utility for accessing and managing the system files of our iDevices, and it was recently launched in Cydia iFile version 1.9.1-1 of the application. It was preceded by version 1.9.0-1 which implemented a lot of new things, but the last version corrected some bugs that prevented the functionality of the application. The new version of the iFile application brings support for WebDAV via HTTP and HTTPS, brings a HEX Editor, SQLit3 Editor, new options for displaying folders, the ability to view DMG or ISO files and much, much more.
- Enhancements
- Added WebDAV client with support for HTTP and HTTPS.
- Added Bonjour browser to find FTP, WebDAV and WebDAVS servers.
- Added Hex Editor. It can be opened via Open with... in a file's Attributes Editor. It supports search, go to index, copy, cut, paste, delete, and undo/redo. Supported Gestures: Added SQLite3 Editor for files with extension sqlite, sqlite3, sqlitedb, db. It allows to edit integer, float and string fields. Blob fields are not editable.
- Tap on line numbers changes between hexadecimal and decimal representation.
- Tap on hex/string fields sets cursor. Second tap on same position shows edit menu.
- Double tap on hex/string fields selects a single byte/character.
- Triple tap on hex/string fields selects a complete line.
- Long-press on hex/string fields lets you move the cursor around showing a magnifying glass.
- Pinch changes the font size.
- Added new preferences option to have folders to be at top of file list or sorted the same way as files (only sort by size is an exception to this as folders don't have a size associated with them).
- Added Shared section in shortcuts on iPad to contain remote file system shortcuts, eg box.net and Dropbox.
- Enabled mounting of MSDOS formatted disk images (DMG) and also mounting of ISO disk images.
- Import of songs and videos to iPod Library is now a free feature requiring the Gremlin Framework package to be installed.

- Fixed that songlist and play options in Audio Player were ill formatted when Audio Player got opened in landscape mode on iPad.
- Fixed that canceling downloads from Dropbox did just close the HUD, but did not cancel the operation.
- Corrected that taps on the play options in Audio Player caused the play options view to be hidden.
- Corrected illegal character in Czech localization.
- Fixed that Dropbox-to-Dropbox move/copy did not work (also applies to renaming of files) because of changed Dropbox API.
- Fixed bug that led to not showing the viewer chooser for files that don't have a supported mime-type.

The iFile application is available for free in Cydia, but it works on the basis of a trial license for a few days, after which it needs to be purchased.
