Soo, I believe I am to the point where I am sure that my SD Explorer rewrite/upgrade isn't actually going to become vapour-ware.
Wiki development page
Essentially, the general goal is to create a more cleanly designed and otherwise improved application in the same vein as SD Explorer, including support for SD/SDHC, USB and SMB shares and copy/move operations between them, and potential for future expansion (.dol/elf loader, image viewer, text editor). As you can probably deduce, the old name doesn't really fit the new goals.
I welcome any suggestions (though there are a tonne already), but I particularly need a good name for it.

I can program, I can design, but naming something is not my strong point. My initial (bad) examples are below:
*Phoenix extdev
*Fiile manager
*Twist
And a couple of ideas suggested by users:
*WiiBrew Manager
*Totalii Commander

Unfortunately, I'm not really in love with any of them, but "WiiHub" came to me, earlier, and I don't hate it.
If that is popular, I think I could live with that, but hopefully someone else can think of something better.
I know there are quite a few people on here that can't develop applications, but have plenty of creative juices.
So, get posting! =)

Wiiphiles? Get it? Pedophiles? hahahahahaha

How about "Exploremii"? I like it. :P

Umm....I thought of one but it's bad. Boundless file Explorer. But that's horrible.

Not bad. I thought of FileMii as well, but I kinda think we have enough cheesy "Wii-ified" application names.
Best to avoid those, if possible.

So, I take it, neither of you likes "WiiHub?

Eh. Not really, sorry. :P
I really like exploremii. Oh well. :P

Err...

Simple:

File Manager
File Viewer
Wiindows Explorer (no don't, bad joke)


I don't particularly like this 'ii' stuff too much :| It's becoming overused.

I don't really like it either. Explormii isn't bad. But I seriously love Wiiphiles! Wiifiles is bland and no joke can go with it!

Oh wait, Filemii Elmo would be great too!

No worries, I am mostly neutral here, just wanted the feedback on that.
As long as it is popular and appropriate to what the application can/will do, that will trump my dislike for the "XXX-Mii" and "It has an 'I'... better double it up!" cliché. "Wii xxx" or "xxx Wii" names are not cheesy to me, though.

Yeap, still inappropriate the second time round. Besides, Wiiphiles would literally refer to people/things that like the Wii.
If you are going to go for the 14 year old class jokes, at least make it phonetically similar: WiiDoPhiles/WiiDoFiles.
I have a horrible feeling I am going to regret even posting that.
FileMii Elmo? No. Just no =/

Edit: Don't let me negativity get any of you down, though. I appreciate the suggestions, and even a step closer to a result is better than I have done on my own. So, thanks =)

*sigh* ok, you win! I know what philes means. jeez. I wasn't serious about filemii elmo though. (hehehe tickle me elmo) I was thinkin "Multisource Xplorer", but that sounds like it came out of a Mega Man Battle Network game. =p

Wii Explore :P
or something simple like File Explorer

If I understnad it correctly, the software can NOT be used to explore files on the Wii :D
Just devices attached to it, and/or the network

That's how I understnad it. =p so "wii storage peripherals Xplorer" is kinda long? I think "Multisource Xplorer" sounds even better now. Or Wii Explore Peripherals. Nah!

Device Explorer!

Device Explorer!

OMG PERFECT! Why didn't any of us think of that before? So simple....You're the man!

File Browser
Device Browser

etc... interchange Explorer and Browser :|

Are you guys sure you wouldn't prefer Wii Device Fiile ExploreMii Browser Extreme? :P
Jokes aside, "Device Explorer" is closer to the original than the others and cliche free! Probably my personal favourite so far.
Keep the ideas and opinions coming.

Cliche:

PerWiipheral Explorer
WiiGotDevices
DeWices (pronounced with a Chekov accent)
DoWiitAll
ShowMiiPotatoSalad!

No cliche:

SD Browser Plus
File Organizer
Device Browser
Device Explorer
Whoremongerer

For shits & giggles:

I haven't touched Photoshop in a while, so that was a half decent refresher =)

I think Device Explorer is in the lead at the moment. I'm resisting any change to double that 'i', but pondering a Wii or Phx prefix. Yay or nay?
