final binstpa newbie question on what can go onto SD

[binstpa]

Sorry I have put up so many new topics. Everytime I hit submit I think of something I wanted to add.

When I purchased my unit (being a palm convert) I was unsure of what could be put on the SD card. I put emulators and games on there but thought that things like tagenda/calender+/and other things should be put onto the main memory.

Is there anything that cannot be put on the SD card (aside from programs that won't allow it?)

Programs that are always running on your device (today screen, navigation bars, task switchers, screen capture, etc) should not be run off of the SD card.

If it is a program you can close when you are finished with it, then it can go on the SD card just fine.

DO NOT drag programs from internal memory to the SD card or vice versa. To move a program from internal memory to SD or SD to internal memory, you have to uninstall it and then reinstall it to the correct memory store (internal or SD).

I just copied Dava Image Viewer and Adobe Acrobat from Program Files and Pasted them on my SD card and they work perfectly well. Is there something that I am harming by doing the copy/paste or is it ok?

See my reply in the other thread. They may work all right, but you will most likely have difficulties uninstalling, or getting the PPC to recognize its having that program if you ever need to.

For some reason, Microsoft programs never want to work from the storage card. So if you're installing Reader, WMP, etc., they need to go in the main memory. :evil:
