Hi all:

I have searched the forum and found one post on this topic, but I can't get it to work right. I
have lots of flash cards I've created in ZDT, but I can't figure out how to import them in to
Plecodict in my Treo 650. Please, if anyone has done this and can help me out, I'd really
appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi,

Have you already exported your cards into the Plecodict format? If you select a category and click
Export, there's a dropdown in the resulting dialog called 'Export format' with a 'plecodict'
option. Then transfer the resulting file to your Treo and import into Plecodict.

Hope that helps.

Chris

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I still can't get it to work. Let me describe my process and
hopefully someone can identify where I'm going wrong.

In ZDT, I am saving whichever category folder that has all of my cards in them as a Plecodict .txt
file to my desktop. From there, I sync my Treo with the computer. I have the Softick Card Export
program and it creates an Removable Disk F: drive in "My Computer" that I understand is the memory
card in my Treo. Inside that F: drive I have three folders that have been there since the first
time I synced: DCIM, IM and PALM. I drag the saved text file into the F: drive, but do not put it
in any of these folders.

Then I open Plecodict, go to flashcards and manage flashcards. In Manage Lists, I click on Import.
Under "From" I change to Text File and Encoding is set to GB-2312. I've also tried UTF-8 and Big5,
but none of them work. The last issue is the file path. What should I be typing in there? Should
it be F:/...and then whatever is the name of the file? The default path is
/Palm/Launcher/flash.txt. It always says that it cannot find the file. Should it be some new path
that leads to my memory card?

Thanks very much to anyone that can help me out here. I really appreciate it.

OK. I finally got it to import, but what is imported is not what I saved as the flashcard. For
example, I did a test flash card that was Ni Hao. The card that came up on Plecodict was for the
Chinese Communist Party. Definitely not what I had put in. Any idea why this would happen? Thanks.
