iSilo 4.33 beta and Nokia N91

[CtrlAltDel]

Firstly, many thanks for releasing the S60 v3 compatible version of iSilo - this was the one critical app missing from my phone.

Secondly, if I install the app to the phone's memory, where then does it look for .PDB files? At the moment, I am completely unable to browse either the phone's memory or the hard drive for my many ebooks. If I go to the Device & Storage Cards view, all I see are the two docs which come with the installation, and no clue as to how to get into the file system.

Am I missing something really obvious? :confused:

Create Isilo dir in Documents (on memory card) and upload there...

While in the Device & Storgage Cards view, press 'Backspace', and you will move up the folder hierarchy. From there you can choose a different volume (e.g., memory card), file folder, and file.

Thanks for your replies - you're both heading in the right direction. Using backspace navigates me back up the file hierarchy, and iSilo definitely wants to read from \documents\isilo.

The next two problems are: in navigation, the cursor moves randomly on its own, which means I can't quite navigate down the list to the directory I stored my files in :eek: (an iSilo bug or a S60/N91 bug?); and the OS's file management tools won't let me explore outside of \data\, which is why when I created what I thought was \documents\isilo, it wouldn't appear, because it was actually \data\documents\isilo.

I guess as a work-around, I can install an alternative file manager, one that will allow me outside of the approved areas, but maybe iSilo should look at where the default save location is?

Yeah, I already noted the "moving cursor" bug to the developer. If you move the cursor quickly and choose the memory card (volume E: for me), then the cursor is stable and you can choose docs on your memory card. Moreover, once you do that, each time you open the Device & Storage Cards view you will be in that directory and won't have to deal with the moving cursor problem again.

I also mentioned to the developer the C:/data issue you mention, that is, that Nokia hides all but the C:/data directory on the device. This is supposed to idiot-proof the device by keeping people out of the system files. I suggested that he make the default directory C:/data/documents/iSilo to avoid this issue.
