Default [INFO] File Transfers under XP

Greetings,

I have had my Transformer since last night, and and loving the honeycomb experience generally!

Only issue I have found so far is that if you plug the Tablet into an XP computer the MTP prococal drivers will only allow you to transfer recognised media files.

This is irritating because that does not include:

.apk
.epub

you can get into the file system and copy things to the Tablet, as well as delete things.

However you cannot rename, move around on the tablet directly etc.

This is more of an FYI post than a plea for help, I did the transfers I needed using micro SD.

oh, and under Windows 7 64bit you can tell it to skip the unknown file, ot to copy it anyway, which works fine.

I thought Transformer works as USB Mass Storage device not MTP like Xoom?

Strange. Works fine in win 7. Another option for smaller files is to use dropbox.

Afraid not. You can access the SD card from the mtp share, but with the limits above.


Roll on root and new kernels...
