8. Perform a HotSync operation to install the selected application(s).
See “Performing cradle/cable HotSync operations” in Chapter 17 for details.
NOTE
Files that remain in the list after you perform a HotSync operation were
not installed. This can happen 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 “Performing cradle/cable
HotSync operations” in Chapter 17 for details.
Any unrecognized files are not installed.
Palm Quick Install Tips
The following tips can help you use Palm Quick Install most effectively:
■ By default 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.
