Haha sorry, I'm an idiot. I just found out about that.

And no, my folders (thank god for me being a neat freak regarding my electronic devices) are setup in a folder and tag structure. So all music is in a seperate music folder, all pictures in a seperate picture folder, etc..

So basically what I was asking for was already included, I just didn't realize it. :D

yeah =) that's why I was reading.. and thinking... what did you mean =)
But it's the true =) people never reads the docs / manuals =))) (no problem with that)

* the website has a lot of material this time =)

Re: Canola does not live up to the hype, suffers from usability issues.
 

Sorry for duplicated posts, I just want to make sure Marcelo sees it:

I have a 770 with OS2006. I began having problems with Canola 2 beta 8 after my usual MMC card became corrupted and I had to switch to another MMC card I had, although I don't know what this would have to do with Canola going bad.

Anyway, here's what's happening:

Oftentimes, when Canola tries to launch, it will go to an endless "updating media library". I have to use a StatusBar app to "kill process" in order to shut down Canola.

Even with a fresh install of Canola (after using Canola Clean-up), Canola will sporatically run VERY sluggishly. Click a button....wait 5-10 seconds, click a button...wait etc. Many times it will just hang and I have to "kill process" to shut Canola down. Only other processes running are the Google search applet on desktop, simple launcher, and Osso-Statusbar-CPU.

As far as Podcasts go:

After clicking "my feeds" and waiting a long time for the little 'C' shaped animation at the bottom to finish turning, I click a download arrow on the right. Nothing happens for a while. Eventually, a download begins to SLOWLY happen. Then as the download nears 100%, Canola freezes and reboots my 770. Upon reopening Canola, I have to try and download the podcast all over again. If the download does finish w/o a reboot, clicking to listen to download causes the 'C' to spin again, then stop with all zeros displayed for length of podcast and elapsed time. The tablet freezes up and I have to "kill process" with the statusbar app. Sometimes I get a sort of "split screen" effect where a portion of the right side of the Canola screen is duplicated followed by an auto reboot.

I have used cleanup to delete and reinstalled Canola 3-4 times (after I disabled all repositories except Maemo and Maemo Extras as Handful recommended)...still the same problems.

Help!
thanks,
Neil

You bet I will as soon as I get 'net access :) I've got problems connecting to my home network because of the way I've got it set up :/ But as soon as I get out of the house tomorrow I'll update! I'm really looking forward to it/salivating over the release thread :P

It looks wonderful! I'll post over in the release threads when I've tried everything out!

Thanks again!!
