Files on HP Prime Question

There is no "difficult process to add files" like you seem to be implying. You can open your document\HP Connectivity Kit\Content\<your_app>\ and add the files like any other folder. Or do the same thing by dragging them into the folder in the connkit file browser. Or load them in a folder in a zip. Or directly add it to the folder in the HP Connectivity Kit\Calcs\<your calc name> directory.

You are correct that you can't yet drag to an individual application directly in the calculator tree, but there are at least 4 other ways to do it directly right now.

Thank you Tim for your reply.
But did you already try sending an application with more than 2MB of attached files using the content pane you told me about ?
My calculator just goes crazy when I try this.

Here's an unlisted youtube video :




I'm first sending my application folder together with 1.9MB of PNG files and it works.

Then at 2min10s after resetting both calculator and content pane, I add a fourth PNG file in the application folder, making it 2.6MB large, and send the folder.
The calculator can then do various things and you can see it triggering menus by itself.
It's not shown in the video, but it can also disconnect itself from the HPCK, freeze, reboot, or ask the user for a newer firmware through the HPCK.
(and unfortunately, the application is not there, even when the whole process does end up without a freeze/reboot)

I can't release the app version of my document viewer while I cannot find a safe way for the end user to easily add several MB of PNG files.

For the moment :
- dragging files on the application doesn't work
- adding files one by one through the contextual menu is too time consuming for the end user (unless by concatenating PNG files, a way you don't seem happy with)
- dragging files through the content pane doesn't seem reliable.
Any other way ?
