Hi all
Just wondering if anyone has compiled a list of editors that can or can't save directly to the Retrode.
I've noticed for example that gedit can't but nano can. (under Ubuntu Lucid)
For now I'll maintain a list in the first post.

Command line solution
We have found this to work under any unixoid operating system. It may well be the most convenient way if you just want to change a single config setting:
echo "[HIDMode] 3" >> /path/to/RETRODE/RETRODE.CFG
(Obviously, /path/to/ is the mounting point in your respective file system, e.g., /Volumes/ under Mac OS X. Replace "[HIDMode] 3" with any other config setting that you may want to modify (though there may be a maximum number of characters for which this works).)
List of editors (work in progress)
Editors that can save to the Retrode:
- Linux:
- kate, kwrite: need to disable backup of local files under Settings - Configure Kate|Editor - Open/Save - Advanced
- leafpad
- nano: may have to disable backups via echo "unset backup" >> ~/.nanorc
- notepad.exe via wine :-)
- Mac OS X:
- nano
- TextMate: file disappears from Finder after editing until Retrode is reset.
- TextWrangler
- vim: need to disable backups via echo "set nobackup\nset nowritebackup\nset noswapfile" >> ~/_vimrc
Editors that can't save directly to the Retrode:
- Linux:
- gedit
- vi
- emacs
- mousepad
- nedit
- Mac OS X:
