DXTG v7 Annoyance?

I haved used DXTG for some time, and i ponied up the $ to upgrade to v7. It seems fine with one significant annoyance - because it wants to display all JPG/BMP/TIFF graphics files, the load time of the DXTG main application on my T3 is extremely slow (15-20 seconds) - I do have quite a few JPGs on the SD card.

I emailed DXTG and they said there was no way to shut off graphics support, and no way to speed up the load time.

I was wondering if anybody else is experiencing this problem, or if anyone has thought of a workaround?

Thanks :mad:
 
I haven't had any of those problems. Before I installed the new version of Documents To Go, I uninstalled the old version. I ended up with a clean installation and it has led to better performance.

You might want to try the same thing.
 
In version 6.008 there is an option in DTG's Preferences to "Always search for supported files when opening Documents To Go." If that's in version 7, uncheck it. You can have DTG manually search for files anyway (menu/File/Search for Files...) unless they did away with that in version 7.
 
Ws going to post a thread today but since the T5 is overwhelming repondents, I was going to "hold off." However, since rkrasny has asked a D2G7 question (interesting . . . I held off on the upgrade and might do so permanently now), I have a quick one:

I use only Sheet2Go and both SAVE and CREATE sheets (workbooks) in Sheet2Go format. I noticed 2 things:

1. Sheet2Go is smaller in footprint than "Native Excel" and I'm wondering what benefits OTHER than colorizing cells, bold font, etc "Native" gives you.

2. If I MOVE a Sheet2Go to the card, and move back again to RAM, Docs2Go doesn't recognize it unless another "controlling file" (I forget the name, but something like DX2P) is moved with it. If it doesn't "exist" on that 2nd file, Sheet2Go sheets will go in to RAM but aren't "seen" by Docs2Go/Sheet2Go. HOWEVER: if I move a native Excel Sheet from the card, it pops right up.

I'd like to ask the spreadsheet chaps which format they use and if the larger "Native Excel" format is "generally better." I use 5-6 constantly and notice there's a brief delay opening them up - but nothing to complain about. S2Go is instant and smaller in size, but am I missing something? Do most of you use "native?"
