If you need to change the destination of the application you are installing, drag
the files to move applications between the handheld and expansion card file list.

The status bar shows the number of files selected and their total size. However,
since some file types are compressed during synchronization, they may actually
require less space than the amount shown in the file size column or status bar.

8.

Perform a HotSync operation to install the selected application(s). See

Chapter 21

for details.

NOTE

Files that remain in the list after you perform a HotSync operation were

not installed. This can happen if your handheld is too full to install the file or 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

Chapter 21

for details.

Any unrecognized files are not installed.

Palm Quick Install tips

The following tips can help you use Palm Quick Install most effectively:

Audio files are automatically placed in the expansion card file list. If you
attempt to place audio files in the handheld file list, a No symbol appears.

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.
