Have installed some of theme files (.tsk) on Storage Card\My Documents\ but cannot find it from Today theme selection.
Alreday checked there is no ignore_mydocs file on Storage Card.
Any other possible cause and solution why my theme files cannot be seen from Today theme selection?
Thanks.

You need to place tsk files on the storage card itself. Not on any folder, but the very root of the storage card.
They need to be installed to one of the 3 places:
\device\My Documents
\device\Windows
\device\Storage Card
They may work in others but these are the main ones.
Also if they have the hidden attribute set they won't work.
Solved .. I put the theme files on the root directory of storage card and now can see the themes ..
Thanks!

Use Cabinst to manage your CAB installations.

Create the "Pogram Files" folder on the SD card on the root folder,
make sure that you have the ignore_my_docs file in the root driveof the SD card.

Most programs can be run from SD card except Today Plugins
What is the benefit of running CAB's from our SD card? In otherwords, I don't have the foggiest clue what happens to a CAB once you run it apart from it installing the program etc.
A cab file is a way to install a progam.
So you can install this program wherever you want.
The benefit to install it on a SD Card is to liberate some RAM
Thanks for that
Why is this forum sooooooo sloooooow

Hi Alex, thanks for the tweak. But what do you mean by those meantioned above ? Are you saying that we can create a "Program Files" folder in SD card and install our program into it? What do you mean by root folder? Do I need to create a note pad file named as ignore_my_docs?

Calvin,
Root folder refers to the highest folder of the drive, the one where all the sub-folders reside... ie on your PC C:\
Be very carefull editing the registry, not recomended for a novice as one wrong move can leave you with a lot of trouble
Thanks for the info. :wink: I think there's nothing to do with registry in these tweak rite? For what I know from others forumer, the Ignore_my_documents file is inside the main memory. It serves the purpose whereby the ppc will ignore the "My Documents" inside the Sd card (if you created one) and only use the "My Documents" inside the main memory.
Same said they have deleted the Ignore_my_documents file in the main memory and therefore they can saved their files (themes and etc) into "My Documents" inside the Sd card in order to save some RAM.
My question is, do we need to create Ignore_my_documents file into Sd card if we are going to do so?
How to download a file in PIE to storage card instead of main memory?

of cause, you need Pocket Mechanic. what do you need it for?
Before you change it,remember:YOU SHORTCUTs MAYBE WON'T WORK!
Use a Reg Editor(like Resco Registry etc.) to find this key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory\Folder
Change the default value to the name you want.
Soft-reset your PPC
Enjoy it!

Storage Card
,but now i have same like
"bereitgestellte datentrager" in German,not a Storage Card ?
Im having same kind of problems...
Anyhow: The value in registery shows "Storage Card" but when using file explorer, the real name of the inbuilt Diamond storage, is "Storage Card2". And of course I can't rename it directly because it's in use. Must be a simple solution for this but can't figure this out. Any easy way to correct the name?
Solved!
It had something to do with the new ROM edition I was using and the option to store attachments on a storage card. I uncheck the box "When available, use this storage card to store attachments", deleted the old "fake" storage card folders and did a soft reset --> problem solved huraah!
Is there any way or registry hack, to specify an alternate folder where WM will take the Themes (.tsk files)?
I know WM by default searches the '\Windows' and '\My Documents' folders, as well as their subfolders.
However I'd like to store my Themes in a folder located at the Storage Card, in order to save PDA memory space.
Doesn't it already do that? I've got several themes sat on my storage card and they show up when I go into Today properties. However, I believe they do need to be on the ROOT of the card, not in a folder.
Cheers
Ant
Thanks, I'll check it.
However my intention was excatly to put them into a dedicated subfolder on the Storage Card.
And that still needs a solution, if I do not want to use some 3rd party Themes Manager.
Correct! It works, if .tsk files get copied to Storage Card root.
However not really what I'm looking for :?
Thanks! Something new learnt anyway

No. They must be in your windows folder on the device.

Actually correct me if I'm wrong. I believe they go in the "My documents" folder.
Put them either in Storage\My Documents or Root directory of Storage Card
Bad Idea

You are looking for problems...If you put this onto the storage card then the device must continue polling the memory card. There are already enough problems and slags directed at the memory card. Save yourself lockups and headaches. Only store your theme there and put you favorites int the windows folder. Peace
