Tungsten E2 Blazer Browser to view HTML on VFS card?

[userwaldo]

Is there anyway to get the Blazer Browser to view HTML stored on the VFS card? I can't seem to figure out how to get it to look at webpages stored on the VFS card.

I don't want an offline broswer, but rather a ram HTML viewer. Any suggestions would be apprecitated.

Yes, you should be able to just go to the first menu option (open or view I think) and then have an option to get a file from the card. That would do what you are asking.

[userwaldo]

Hmm, mine doesn't have that option.
The first option in v4.0 is Add BookMarks.

The Tips seem to indicate that you can use a file menu to open HTML files, but I can't find the files program, or menu option to which it is refering.

For some reason I can't find my Blazer Browser on my E2. Other Blazer files are there but the main (executable) file isn't. Can anybody tell me the name of the file and where I might find it on the install disk? The files on my E2 are as follows in this order

Blazer CacheHist
Blazer Cookies
Blazer Field Auto
Blazer Find Autof
Blazer URL Autof
Blazer_enUS

What am I missing?
Thanks

To open a page saved to an SD card:
type the following into your address bar (sorry I dont know another way that isnt using the Files program to click and open it):
"file://" then the name of your Sd card, then the directory path that the webpage is saved to. after that, I'd recommend making it a bookmark so you wouldnt have to do it again.

To the user who couldnt find Blazer; its installed on there. Click on Favorites, and Web (that is Blazer). Or in the regular launcher, Web is the title for the application. Its in ROM, and therefore nothing that you should have to install.

Thanks, that should do it. The documentation isn't very easy to find. Also there doesn't seem to be much on the palmOne page either. I thought I saw an upgrade to v4.1, but now I can't find it. Anyway, thanks for the tip, that's what I needed.

[Ricon]

Thanks Antoine but when I try that it says the application can't be found it was probably deleted. I don't remember deleting it. If it is indeed in ROM there is no way I could have deleted it. I may have to do a hard reset but I'm not looking forward to that.

[userwaldo]

Ricon,

A hard reset should restore it. It isn't too painful if you use Backup Buddy VFS, or RF Backup first. These will backup everything to the VFS card and then you can restore right after you do the hard reset. These tools backup everything, and are much more thourogh than a sync with you pc (Though I recommend doing that as well.)

[Ricon]

:D Well I bit the bullet and did a hard reset and Web is back.
I have the last BackupBuddy VFS that was free. You can't restore individual files and it always says there are no backups but tap restore and it goes to work ;) . It always says it has errors and you tap ignore but there are no errors it's just the new memory system locking it out for certain files.

Thanks for the help.

Now you can also use TreoOfflineViewer, which as a plugin for the Blazer web browser, makes it much more convenient to open HTML files from memory cards.
