The only way I have found to refresh the canola database is to use the Canola applet on the home screen and press the Rescan button.
Hopefully someone can show a better way to do this as it is a pain to rearrange the home page just to add the applet there to use it!

Hello,
I have Canola up and running. I'm a new user and my question is what directory on the N800 do I move my files into from my PC? These would be pictures and media files. Thanks.

in there you can choose which folders to use.
it should be something in your memory card, like: /media/mmc1/music
moving the files from the pc to the tablet is as simple as connecting the tablet to the pc with the usb cable... and use the pc to move files...

I wonder why have such a big Rescan button then on the home page applet?!

For some reason most of my songs I transferred from itunes don't show up in the ''artists'' and ''album'' categories, instead they show up in the ''all'' category. Is there anyway to make canola can read these files like the media player and separate them into the correct categories? Any suggestions are welcomed!
