8. Perform a HotSync operation to install the selected application(s). See
Chapter 20 for details.
NOTE
Files that remain in the list after you perform a HotSync operation were
not installed. This can happen if your handheld is too full to install the file or if
the file type was not recognized during the HotSync operation. If files are
unrecognized, try launching the associated application from your handheld
and then performing another HotSync operation. If the files still remain in the
list, they are not associated with an application on your handheld and cannot
be installed. Expansion cards may also hold files that are not Palm application
files.
To use the right-click menu to send the file to Palm Quick Install:
1. Copy or download the application(s) or file(s) you want to install onto your
computer.
2. From My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the file(s) or folder that
you want to install.
3. Select Send To, and then select Palm Quick Install.
Palm Quick Install displays a confirmation dialog box that shows whether the
files will be installed on your handheld or on an expansion card.
4. Click OK.
The selected files are placed in the handheld or expansion card file list, based on
the file extension.
5. Perform a HotSync operation to install the files. See Chapter 20 for details.
Any unrecognized files are not installed.
Palm Quick Install tips
The following tips can help you use Palm Quick Install more effectively:
■ Audio files are automatically placed in the expansion card file list. If you
attempt to place audio files in the handheld file list, a No symbol appears.
■ By default, Kinoma video files are placed in the expansion card file list. If you
prefer to store these files on your handheld you can move them to the handheld
file list.
■ When you drag and drop a folder, Palm Quick Install looks at files in the first
level of subfolders only; it does not look at folders nested inside the subfolders.
■ To install files in a different location, start Palm Quick Install and drag the files
to a different file list.
■ You can also access the Palm Quick Install window by clicking Quick Install on
the Palm Desktop launch bar.
