Just thought this would be a good thread to discuss problems and/or cool things that this module does or is handy for. I searched and there doesn�t seem to be a lot of discussion on this as much as I thought there would be.

To start off, does anyone else have any problems with their module?

Mine seems fine for the most part but it has crashed, a few times anyway, while exiting the file mover program. Speaking of which, does it take a long time for you guys for it to exit that program? It sometimes seems to take 5 seconds and other times I swear it was 20 or more. It seems longer the more you have done in that program. Maybe this is normal. I do know that you should only move a few files at a time. If you try to move to many it can cause problems.

It does seem to be a good place to keep databases and doc files. There is the small problem of trying to edit a file from the module though, has made my Visor crash. I emailed the ISILO and JFile 4.x authors since I registered those

I suggested to have those programs mark the files with a small �.� Or something similar so you know what ones come from the module. I also suggested to maybe have those automatically marked read only so you if try to edit one by accident, it will not crash the program and maybe could just give you a small message instead.

The Jfile author got back to me already saying that it was a good idea and will try to do it in an upcoming upgrade.

Later,

I'd like to see a separate compatibility list for the flash module.

Also, although I doubt it can be done, I wish there was a way to Hotsync directly to the Module. My regular RAM is pretty full, so getting something new into the module is like playing Towers of Hanoi.
