Files on SD hide??
« on: August 11, 2004, 01:50:52 pm »
I though Qtopia only looked in /mnt/card/Documents to show the files that are there...but I installed some things in /mnt/card/usr/local/share and /mnt/card/timidity and /mnt/card/QtPalmtop etc. and when I restart Qtopia, a whole bunch of files show up ... like .conf files and .txt README files and such in my Documents Tab ... Can you keep this from happening?  Can you hide files on your SD card from Qtopia Documents???

Thanks
By your command...

The only way I can figure is to name them .something but there is no way to hide the .png and README.txt files for software you installed to the SD as it puts them in QtPalmtop/....directory.

Modify the entry in /etc/mtab to point to /mnt/card/Documents instead of /mnt/card and Qtopia will ignore everything outside of that dir & its subdirs.  Or, comment the line out completely, and Qtopia won't even see the SD card.

For more info (and to pick up a modified Sysinfo that can work with this method), see XavierXeon's site:
