Tips & Tricks: How to easily access content on the external memory

Thu Jan 10, 2008 Karel Byloos

Now and than I will try to spend some time to share some of the tips and tricks on how they get the most out of their iLiad, from the people within iRex.

If you like to store a large amount of content on your iLiad, like some of the people here, the best way to do this is to extend the storage capacity of the iLiad with an external MMC or CF card. However it is not possible to easily access your documents on the external memory card via the archives keys. To solve this one of our engineers came up with a nice trick

When you press on one of the archive key (e.g. Books) on the iLiad, you would not only see the content on the internal memory but also an entry to content on other external memories (e.g. Books on CF card). This way you can use the archive keys to easily access your content regardless on which memory they are stored.

To enable this, download the necessary files here and follow the instructions in the readme.txt file.

If you experience any trouble make sure to let us known here.

    Can you offer a tip on how to make the technical support answer my e-mails? They are neglecting to respond since november. And my mails are very polite, I promise. And I’m not mailing about the battery replacement, I have an actual technical issue.

    I would suggest to send me a pm on the forum with the ticket id.

    Thanks Karel, doing that now.
    By the way, I said november but actually and to be fair, my last notification is from december, although it looks like a standardized email, and it came after a month with no response.
