[APP] HORSEPOWER - Multi-Use application

[kiwiguy]

Sorry Yield - misunderstood your question.

Does auga_john's latest post answer it?

@ Yield
That's exactly what you have to do. But please do a little search and find out what a swap is, IT IS NOT A DIRECTORY, it is a binary file or partition.

@ auga_john
I've made a stupid mistake (which will be fixed soon in the next release) in the apps script.

Please put it like this

HD_DIR='/mmc/mmca1/MING Media Package India/app/asi/asian'

and this

UNHD_DIR='/mmc/mmca1/MING Media Package India/app/asi/.asian'

As you can see I just put single quotes on the file path.
And you made a mistake, if you look at your previous post you divided directories with a backslash ( \ ) , please use slashes ( / ) from now on.

Thanks guys, finally got it working once I used crimson editor instead of wordpad. Just curious - is it supposed to make a noise like swap manager claims? Like Ding when it's created and Ding Dong when you end it? It says swap created successfully so I assume it's working but I don't hear anything.

[m41d3n]

No, it doesnt make noise if its succesful. I avoided using sounds because when you are in a quite place like school you cant control the apps sound output.

[Yield]

cool, thanks for the help!

[auga_john]

works like a charm.
thank you so much m41d3n.
been waiting 4 such a software for such a long time.
u guys are simply gr8.
motofans rock!!!

[m41d3n]

I'm glad to see that it worked. Any suggestions for the next release maybe?

Is there any other tutorials on how HP works im allitle confused

[m41d3n]

Best tutorials you can get are in the stickies.

[nikhilgore]

Bad documentation makes even the best software unusable.

Now that I have gotten that out of the way I am facing a problem. I created the swap folder and pointed to the correct location in the lin file however the swap file does not get created automatically.

So to get around this I used vim to create a empty binary file however this does not work either. Can someone explain what I am doing wrong so that I can update this thread with instructions

FYI here is what the line looks line in HP.lin

SWP_FILE=/mmc/mmca1/swap/swap.bin

and here is what the directory looks line on the mmc

~ngore$ ls -la /Volumes/NO\ NAME/swap/swap.bin
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ngore ngore 0 Oct 23 01:59 /Volumes/NO NAME/swap/swap.bin

So what I am doing wrong?
