3.1.4. Special Considerations for SL-5600, SL-C700, and SL-B500
(A) QuickExec (Fast Load) entity for .dektop file
The SL-5600, SL-C700, and SL-B500 now incorporate so called “QuickExec” or “Fast Load” capability to
minimize the time required to invoke the application.
Enabling the “QuickExec” or “FastLoad” option can be configured by the “Details” window displayed by
tap-and-hold the application icon. The
CanFastload =
entity will either show or hide this checkbox. If this
function is enabled, the SL-series Zaurus will remain cached even if the application is “closed” by the user, but it
consumes memory (and thus the freely available heap area becomes shortened).
(B) Run Applications with “root” Privilege entity for .desktop file
As mentioned earlier, the SL-5600, SL-C700, and SL-B500 now adopt “root” and “user” privilege model for the
security reasons. For those security reasons, the SL-5600, the SL-C700, and SL-B500 will not install any 3
rd
party
applications to automatically run with “root” privilege.
However, if necessary, you can make the “Details” window display the checkbox for this configuration, and ask
users to change the privilege to run your application as “root”. (Just as running the application on the SL-5500).
In order to do so, you must add the following statement in the .desktop file to show the checkbox in .desktop file:
HidePrivilege = 0
