Reply to "dcs wifi import export question"

Roger - Good information about the updating of the app.  I don't know if my phone is set up to do that or not.  I know the tablet isn't because one it doesn't have a sim card for tower data, and two, I keep it and the wifi turned off when I'm not using it.  As for the TV remote, I switched because I was seeing threads about Mike and the gang forcing the issue with WIFI remote operation.  Something about Edelman (I think that's right) broadcasting a podcast that when you read between the lines he was saying, 'we are ditching the hand held and going WIFI, get used to it'.  He didn't say that, but that was what some people read into it.  

MrMoe - Also good information about the frequency that an MTH employee or technician answers issues on the Forum.  Based on your information, I guess it's silly for me to grumble about why MTH is not aware of some of the issues brought forth on this site.  But in our defense, we try to use the given methods of contact, and when we get silence as a reply, that doesn't exactly exude confidence.  

But keeping with the subject of this thread, Import and Export do not appear, at least to the eye test, to work.  Maybe I'm not reading Barry's (rest his soul) instructions the way he intended for us to understand them.  I'm going to try reading page 118 again and see if I missed something vital.  The main reason I am not a vascular surgeon anymore.  Kidding, just kidding.  But based on Export's extreme "do nothingness", unless that's the point and I didn't see that, something isn't computing.  I thought maybe when you tap Export, behind the scenes where we can't see it, a file is generated in a location and waits for me to take my phone and hit Import, change the extension to .mth, and then the file is loaded into my phone app and the update occurs.  But one would think that the Export command would have been coded to be more forthcoming with that information rather than just coded to wink at you and appear broken.
