Title: Can the 442 be used as imagetank?
Post by: denhans on September 11, 2006, 03:04:48 AM
I was wondering if I can use the 442 as an imagetank? This would be the main reason to buy one.

I saw in the manual that you can copy a file from the SD card to the harddisk. But is this also possible for whole directories? So that I can copy my full SDcard of my digital camera to the harddisk of the 442?

Thanks!

The addition of an SD card slot also allows the Neuros to also be used as a digital camera photo dump - assuming that the camera uses SD cards.
:D

but after a few lines

If files are stored on an SD card, they can be moved to the main hard drive - but it is a little bit tricky to do so. First the File Management option should be chosen from the main screen...
Items that I wish to copy are selected by scrolling to them individually and then hitting the Play / Pause button which causes a tick to be placed next to each of them. They may then be copied to the other drive. Should I desire to then delete them, I would need to individually select them all again and chose that option. This can become a bit tedious when there are many files to work with.

it's not human to copy file by file if you have hundreds of pictures on your SD card.
Neuros forgot that you can copy whole directories?

Ya, the 442v1 is not good for that.  When the 442v2 is out, it should be able to easily archive the pictures off of a camera.  I have a bug report in about that already.
