Address Book Question

[RichInKC]

I really like the address book feature that allows you to place a photo with the address entry.  If you use it often, though, it does begin to take up a lot of space.  Is there any way to store those photos on the memory stick and still attach them to the address book entry?

A program called PiDirect II...lets you use your memory stick like RAM; anything that it is in the PiDirect folder on the MS looks like it's in RAM. Unregistered, you can put up to 10 things in there. Registered, more (as well as more folders, so you're more organized.)

So you're saying that I can store my address book pictures and the address book can still recognize them? That would be so useful.

How do you do it? The Address Book seems to only retrieve pictures from PGPocket's RAM images. Can PGPocket work in PiDirectII?

Yeah...you just move all your pics over to the "PiDirect" folder on the MS (the way I did it was to use MSGate, select the PiDirect folder on the MS, and then move them all from RAM). Enable PiDirect, and your address book should just find them again. I might have had to re-link them, but in any case, it works. They're all on the MS and not in RAM.
