Initiate commands

Initiate commands are mostly there for my benefit. They are not guaranteed to work - use at your own risk!

To use a command, first

  1. Turn off AutoLaunch to make sure that you don't accidentally launch an app.
  2. Type the command
  3. Press enter/return or the centre key
  4. you'll hear a beep to confirm that the command was recognised

Command

Effect

I8Contact Type once to turn off scanning of contacts (useful if you have a HUGE contact database that you don't want in Initate. Type again to turn contact scanning back on
I8Diagnostic Shows some debugging info, including allowing you to get the details of keypresses (useful when your device has a key that I need to respond to!)
I8Favourite Switches the Favourites display between being the same for every view, and letting you set it on a per-view basis
I8Debug Turns on some debugging features - outputs extra information to _I8Debug file on progress as it updates the main list. Useful if there is a problem with a corrupt SD card and you need to figure where the corruption is causing the crash.
I8Hidden Toggles showing of hidden apps. If hidden apps show, then Initiate will display system or other hidden apps and let you launch them. They won't all do anything useful though! You might want to create a shortcut to any that you plan to use, then turn off hidden apps in the main display.
I8Reset Resets all preferences to default values and re-builds the list
 

NB - the following functions let you save and load preferences. Use with care as they assume the saved and loaded preferences are for the same preference format. If the preference format changes, this will load bad settings! They are mostly intended for people to save preferences that are causing a crash when I need to investigate a problem.

This will not allow you to keep preferences where I8 tries to delete them due to a change in the preference structure.

I8Save Saves your preferences to I8_PrefCopy
I8Load Loads your prefrences from I8_PrefCopy
