Hi Mike, I think we are lacking some key information in order to solve your problem. Is your LC Server on a Mac? If so, what is preventing you from just dragging and dropping a folder of your files across the network from your desktop Mac to your LC (Mac?) Server computer? Once your files are o

Re: Has anyone created a specialised mobile keyboard?

Hi Graham, I suspect that you will have to roll your own keyboard. You could take little screenshots of the native keys that you want, and then move them to where you want them to appear in your keyboard. Then just detect when someone has hit each of the keys and record the order. Easy? Good lu
