Re: Scouting using tablets

Whichever's cheaper at the time of purchase. The current plan is to use this app: and then export as CSV files to be put into an Excel or Access database. Moving the file from the tablet to computer is done with the archaic method of manually using Windows File Explorer to pull the CSV's off the tablet. The only flaw is sometimes(and only on 2 Nexus 7's tried so far, not on my phone running CyanogenMod 9...) the folder just plain doesn't show up or get updated, in which case this app has to run to get it to work.
Hey Steven,

I may have run into this same issue with the Xoom and Acer tablets that we use for our scouting application. Frequently, we would connect the tablet to the windows machine to manually transfer files and the new files wouldn't show up in the explorer window. We never did find the magic sequence that consistently resulted in the files appearing in the folder listing. Is this the behavior that you experienced, too, and what is resolved by the rescan application? If so, this find will be most welcome when if we need to fall back to a manual transfer again.

Thank you,

Ken St.
