Abstract
A method and system for enabling a user to specify and automate file handling in a portable image capture device is provided, wherein the device includes at least one stored file and is capable of communicating with a computer over a network. An action list is downloaded from the computer, wherein the action list includes a mapping of one or more user input events on the device to one or more file handling actions. When an input event on the device is detected that matches one of the events in the downloaded action list, the corresponding file handling action is then performed on the file within the device. In a preferred embodiment, prior to the action list being downloaded, the user is allowed to configure the action list on the computer by mapping one or more user input events on the device to one or more file handling actions.
