Hi,

flash drive is better then hdd. When stored hdd your hard drive hardly goes to idle because each time you zap it has to start which is not good for the drive and it causes a noticable delay.

No need to do any mapping. Just name a directory/folder "picon" and put it on your flashdrive. Enigma will find it.

 

As for getting picons for 28e, there are loads to choose from out there but you will have to install them manualy, unless they are available as an ipk, which will instal with a few clicks.

 

So Google "pions+ipk"

 

Top tip, is finding a set that is still maintained so that they all look the same/uniform. Dont mix sets from different people as it will look crap you will have a nightmare separating them again.

 

Other cheaky option is find/flash another image for your box that has picons you like. Download it from their feeds to your flash. Then flash back to OPLi

Thats Good,

 

One more thing. Go into Plugins on your box, then press Red for remove Plugins. Have look there for any entries for picon sets that you may have installed from the feeds. If you have and your not using them, you should remove the entry as your new picons could get over writen if there is an update to the feeds. This may remove some of yor picons so make backup first.

 

Final this quite a interesting thread.

Absolutely.
But in spite of that many users prefer to use an USB-stick for picons. No idea why; IMHO it's a waste to have flash and not use it.

Filezilla is by default in automatic for the file transfer mode and this mode is not optimal, it sometimes transfer binary file in ASCII so they arrived corrupted and no usable.

 

Go in your Filezilla setting and change it to force always binary file transfer and all your file transfer will succeed after this change.
