  2. Access Points and Destinations

    it takes a bit of getting used to moving from the access point lists to the destinations list they use now.



    a couple of points i would suggest that are useful is that

    1 many applications will inherit the settings specified in the browser or the 'default' setting in the destinations menu

    2 you can add destinations and copy access points to them, if say you want some things to use wifi and an internet cell access point in that order, but you want something else to only only the internet cell access point you can add it to a new destination.

    3 some apps that bring up the destinations list allow you to select access points from the options menu.

  3. Junction point for certain file type

    You must move them there manually or by means of an automatic script. Junction points work only for fully named files or folders.
