Synchronize List
Use Synchronize List on the Tools menu
to manually force a synchronization of the document
list with the documents located in the internal memory
of your handheld and currently mounted external
memory cards.
When you use this command, RediReader™ first goes
through the list and removes entries of external documents
it can not find. External documents are those located on
external memory cards. In the process of doing so, any settings
and local bookmarks for those documents are removed as well.
Then RediReader™ synchronizes the document list
with the documents it finds in the internal memory of your
handheld and on currently mounted external memory cards.
Every time you start RediReader™, it automatically
synchronizes the document list for internal documents and adds
entries to the document list for new external documents.
However, when working with external memory cards, there may be
situations when RediReader™'s automatic document list
sychronization behavior is not sufficient to account for operations
you may perform outside of it.
Generally, you will only use the Synchronize List command
if you only use one memory card and you want to keep the document
list synchronized with it. Here is a list of some of the situations
where you may want to use the Synchronize List command:
- You have given an external memory card a new volume name:
In this case, the existing entries in the document list for the
documents on that card store the previous volume name. So whenever
you try to open one of these documents, RediReader™ asks
you to insert the card with the old name. You can use
Synchronize List to remove the existing stale entries that use
the old volume name.
- You have used a file manager utility to rename one or
more documents:
In this case, when you start RediReader™ after performing
the rename, RediReader™ adds new entries to the document
list for the renamed documents but the old entries still remain.
You can use Synchronize List to remove the old entries.
- You have used a file manager utility to delete one or
more documents:
RediReader™ does not automatically delete entries
of missing external documents from the document list since
it is possible that the entries refer to documents on a physically
different external memory card but one with the same volume name.
You can use Synchronize List to remove the entries of the
deleted documents.
If you utilize multiple memory cards, then you will likely not
want to use the Synchronize List command since it removes entries
of external documents not found on any mounted external memory cards.
As a consequence of this, you lose settings and local bookmarks
for those entries. In this case, you will want to manually delete
entries from the document list.
Use System Information on the Tools menu
to activate the System Information dialog so that you can
determine the user ID you need to provide in order to obtain
a registration code for a document that requires a registration
code. The user ID is provided in the User ID field.
The dialog also shows the amount of free internal memory
and the total amount of internal memory. Dynamic memory is
the working memory that a running program has available
for direct use while storage memory is the memory used
for database storage.
Use Font Manager on the Tools menu
to activate the Font Silo Font Manager dialog so that you can
view fonts you have installed and delete individual font databases.
