Command-line tool for making a PLX playlist, 
So you can access the pictures from the "Pictures" menu in your iriver. 
NOTE: This tool is not enough for copying a picture to your E10/U10! 
You may read the text file i have written on that subject. 

Usage: ./easyplx [-help] [-drive=drive_letter] [-out=path_to_player] [-plx=PLX_directory] 
                 [-name=playlist_name] [-list=path_to_m3u_or_similar] 
                 [picturefile1] [picturefile2] [picturefile3] and so on 

Please notice the odd way to write the file paths for pictures: 
The paths start from the Pictures root of your player, normally path_to_player\System\Pictures\. 
They are the path to either the JFU file, or the JTH file. 
For example: E:\System\Pictures\Photo\Leaf.jfu and E:\System\Pictures\Photo\Leaf.jth
should be written as either Photo\Leaf.jfu or Photo\Leaf.jth, both work fine. 

It is recommended to change the working directory to the Pictures root before using EasyPLX. 
That way, you will be able to use the TAB key to select pictures. 

The pictures in the list of arguments are added to playlist in the order they are on the command line. 
After them are the pictures in the M3U added. 
You can combine --list and picturefile. 

If you omit -drive then it is set to E:\ . This parameter overrides any other. 
If the option -drive is not enough, you may use -out to set the full path to the mount point of the 
player, like this: -out=E:\ or under GNU/Linux -out=/media/sda1/

You should never have to use -plx. It must be the path to Playlists dir! As -plx=Folder one\Another Folder\
