Please change it so that an error during sending doesn't flush the cue.  You
could have a dialog box that says, "Card is full; delete rest of cued files,
y/n?" or something similar.
Thanks.

Angie:

It appears that your machine is not contrary. Unique perhaps, but not =
contrary!

Seriously, we delete all queued files when there is an error during the =
send process. The primary reason is because it is possible to queue files =
which will never go to the device. Perhaps for example, a user has a 128 =
MB card, and they queue a 140 MB MP3 file. If we didn't delete all queued =
files, they would be asked every time they connect, only to get an error. =
Of course, they could use Brows or Delete if they wanted to in this =
situation.

I realize that this is a somewhat liberal solution to a problem that some =
may never have, but it avoids stressing beginners or casual users if it =
should occur. So, I ask of all of you, should an error during sending =
queued files clear the queue? I can easily change this for the next =
release if most people want it changed.

OK, Has this happened to anyone else?

I had cued several files from web pages. Unfortunately, I forgot my card =
was full. When I tried to send the files, I was reminded of this fact. I =
deleted a bunch of stuff, expecting to be able to send the files then. =
But,=20
Unfortunately, the cue was then empty! The files were gone!

This wouldn't be such a big deal if they hadn't been web pages.

Is this a pattern, or is this unique to my own little contrary machine? =
<grin>
