Hi people.

I've got a K750i, and i download theme's from Esato via the www, then transfer them from my Mac to my phone. However, i now have a problem. Whenever i download a file from the theme's section, it get's downloaded as a .thm.tar file which needs to be unzipped. When the file has unzipped, i'm then presented with a folder with the extension .thm. Upon opening the folder, all the contents of the theme are displayed.

Whats going on?? It never used to do this. How do i go back to downloading it as a .thm file?

Downloaded & Unzipped:

Unzipped folder exploded:

Well that doesn't matter really. Seems that your mac can read .thm files (unusual). But if it's still with a .thm extension, it should work on the phone.

I tried loading the folder onto the phone, but all that allows me to do is select items from the folder as opposed to loading a theme. When i used to download themes sucessfully, they used to appear on the desktop like this:

Weird!

Rename it: Remove the ".tar" from the original file name leaving you only with "theme.thm" send that file to your phone.

It seems your computer is adding the TAR extension because THM files are compressed archives but it does not recognize it. I can only assume a 3'rd party decompression utility is to blame.

Well done! Sorted! Removed the .tar extension and it sorted it. Happy now!

By the way, not a member of the 480 Europe Club by any chance are you??
