Hi Ernie,
FCD is such a wonderful app - I've been using it with Quizlet decks since I first bought my iPad last year. Now I'm making my own deck. Everything so far is going well. I have a question about the media download.
I'm using Dropbox and I've placed my unicode text file alongside the matching media folder (just a few images and sounds for testing at this stage). I'm playing around with the formatting, colours etc. Each time I make a series of new edits, I delete the deck then download the updated file to check the result. I note that the media is also downloaded again. Eventually I will have about 100 multiple side cards with images and sounds - is there a way to bypass the unchanged media update and grab only the updated text file?
ALSO I noted in other posts the reference to adding a link in the text file to the media folder's location - I'm not totally clear about this method. Does it mean that the images/sound are embedded as a link only and they are stored off-device (say in dropbox and accessed via internet, dynamically) or that they are downloaded and stored on iPad separate to the FCD app. If it's the latter, are the images/sounds also accessible via iPad's photo folder or iTunes? Or have I misunderstood the purpose and advantage of the media URL?
