Choose the "Switch Local/Removable" menu item in FireViewer, then tap icons to navigate through the folders. To move up the folder tree, tap the icon in the upper right corner of the Palm screen.

Convert images to FireViewer format on your desktop computer, then install to the Palm SD card.

By default, FireViewer images are HotSynced into "/PALM/LAUNCHER" on your SD card. Choose "Switch Local/Removable" menu in FireViewer. Then tap the icon in the upper right corner until you are in the PALM folder. Tap the "Launcher" folder. You should now see your installed FireViewer images.

As of version 6.5f3, FireViewer can access files from either storage memory or the first storage device on the Palm. On Palm devices with two or more storage devices, such as LifeDrive (hard disk and SD card), the SD card will not appear in FireViewer.

On your PC or Mac, use FireConverter create a .pdb file from an image, web page (PC only) or video (PC only). Then, install it to your Palm using the Palm Install Utility included with your Palm.
To use the Palm Install Utility:

· Save the .pdb file somewhere (the desktop is probably easiest)
· Double click on the file. This will launch the Install Utility
· If you use more than one PalmOS handheld, select the HotSync name of the device with the MultiMedia/Secure Digital Card or Memory Stick slot

· Select the file you have just added, and click the ‘Change Destination…’ button

· A new dialog will appear. Here, again select the file and click the ‘>>’ button. Then click ‘OK’

· Notice the ‘Destination’ column now says ‘Secure Digital (SD) Card’. Click ‘Done’ and next time you HotSync the images will be transferred to your removable media.

In FireViewer, go to the Options Menu and select ‘Switch Local/Removable…’

You can then browse the card and view the files by tapping on them as you would in the normal internal memory list view. To return, select ‘Switch Local/Removable…’ from the options menu again.  Then you can use the 'up' icon in the very top right corner to browse the removable media.  By default, the Palm Install Tool places the images in "/PALM/launcher/"

Currently this is not possible. Instead, reinstall from your desktop computer to the desired location.

To help support very large images, FireViewer uses its own database structure.  When images are Synced to the Palm's internal memory, FireViewer will integrate xyz.pdb into this internal structure.  Also see the next question.

These are FireViewer internal database structure.  See the answer to the above question.  If you move these databases from internal memory, FireViewer will stop working properly.

To view an image on the card, it is copied over to local storage. Therefore, you must have enough memory available in local storage in order to view it.

To beam an image that is on the card, view the image, then tap the screen to get the pull down menu. There is a beam option.

FireViewer content on the card cannot be marked as private because it is like a file system similar to the file system on your desktop computer rather than like the Palm local storage which is database records.

This is correct behavior for a conduit. However, we realize it is not appealing from a user perspective. We are looking into how to make it work. In the meantime, put the FireViewer program into local storage on your Palm, and the problem will go away.

Although the MemPlug software supports the Fat file system, the Palm OS on the handspring device does not. You can move, copy and store FireViewer content on the MemPlug, however, you cannot view it from the SmartMedia card.

Only FireViewer v5.3 or later, which comes with FireViewer Suite, is capable of this. This method is not officially supported, but may work for you:

You can HotSync your videos to your device, then move the videos to the flash module. Each video has one database file of the same name as the video. Then launch FireViewer from the palm application launcher. You do not need to navigate to it using the switch local/removable option.

Images have several database files for all the images together. If you wish to move images to flash memory, you would need to move ALL FireViewer databases EXCEPT the one called FireViewerCOMP.DB which is for compression.

You can also move the FireViewer application to the flash module as long as you only have images and videos as content. If you have converted URLs and web archives (available in next release) then it is best to keep FireViewer on local storage. Then launch FireViewer from the Palm launcher just as you would if FireViewer were on local storage.
