Similar to the Copy command the Move button deletes the source file after the copy operation If moving a file from and to the same external device there must be enough free space to store a temporary copy of the file Beam Beams a selected file to another Palm device Files must not currently be in use open by another program to be beamed Since TealMover is open when inside TealMover use the palm application launcher instead if you wish to beam TealMover to another Palm Send Similar to the Beam command the Send command is only available from the drop down menu It allows sending selected files via Bluetooth SMS or similar wireless connection Note that due to a bug in PalmOS this option will crash if selected on some devices without the appropriate wireless hardware TealMover User s Manual Info The Info menu allows you to view or edit properties associated with a selected file Properties shown vary according to the type and number of files selected See Chapter 8 for full details on using File Information View A very powerful but potentially dangerous tool the View button lets you see or edit the raw contents of files on a record by record or byte by byte basis See Chapter 10 for more info on using the View Screen Sort In the lower right corner of the screen the Sort Button allows quickly changing the current sort option from Name to Details or to and from Unsorted2.

11. under PalmOS As non palm files do not have a TypelD or CreatorID it is assigned the CreatorID PUBL and a four letter TypelD depending on its file extension For instance a Jpeg file with a jpg extension is given the TypelD JPG while a text file with a txt extension is given TXT Files with extensions less than 3 letters long have IDs padded out with spaces so a c file is given the TypelD C and one with no extension is given TealMover also supports an additional rule that allows specifying a Type and Creator ID to give a file when copying it to main memory This can be useful for importing non Palm files into main memory for use by programs that expect a specific type and Creator ID To be affected by this rule files need to follow a very specific naming convention lt name gt lt creator gt _ lt type gt lt ext gt For instance if an external image file named mypicture TIPc_Imag jpg is copied to main memory it is automatically given the type Imag and the Creator ID TIPc instead of being made a Public file It still maintains its original file name however which is important when copying the file back When either type of file is copied back to an external card TealMover will recognize it as a linear file even though they have been converted to valid PalmOS format streamed databases It will restore the files to their original linear representations instead of conve
