|
| Hello all, I just downloaded NeoOffice, and as my screenname states, I have no clue. Here's my dilemma: I have a whole list of Word files on my JumpDrive, that I fugured out how to get to in NeoOffice, but when I go to save, the jumpdrive doens't come up. Any way to get it, or am I stuck saving to the harddrive? Thanks, Matt |

| The jump drive should be in /Volumes. Assuming you're still using Alpha 4 and the old filepicker, the Volume directory is two levels up the default directory (which is your Home folder). So click on the house icon, and then click twice on the "up one level" folder with an arrow icon. You should then find the Volumes folder, and your drive should be in there. |

| this will also be easier with neo beta, as it has native file dialogs. =) |

You're welcome.
/Volumes is the mount point for all non-boot drives in Mac OS X. So there you'll find jump drives, external (and additional internal) hard drives, optical discs, etc. |
