Re: Plucker bug or problem on my device?

2003-02-08 Thread David A. Desrosiers

 As a suggestion for a future release, it would be nice if a Delete
 operation would simply remove the document entry if the underlying
 document didn't exist, rhather than leaving a stray pointer to nothing
 lying around.

Wouldn't this require Plucker to scan your RAM, ROM, and card(s) at
startup to determine that, thus removing the feature you've set to Manual?
It used to do this in fact, but now no longer does, due to long scan times.

 Meanwhile, does anyone have an idea of what might be going on here?  I'm
 about at the point of doing a hard reset on the Visor, and redoing
 everything from scratch to try to clear up the problem.

That might work also, but I suspect that since you deleted the doc
outside of Plucker, it doesn't know it is missing, and since you didn't do a
refresh, all of the pointers are messed up, and Plucker believes the
document exists when it doesn't, when you try to move it or file it.

It all seems logical to me, but then again, for Plucker to fix the
pointer to the doc, it would have to scan the card(s) and find out if the
ref to the doc in the library list actually exists on the device, before
moving it. Then you're back to square one again, long scanning times.

Tungsten|T and Plucker

2003-02-08 Thread Anders 'P1' Pettersson (Ichimusai)

I was recommended Plucker from an ebook list, but the program crashes
and resets my Palm Tungsten|T every time I try to start it. However I
used the program sucessfully on my Palm III a short while until I got
the new Palm.

Is this a known problem or is it just mine?

What I get is a 

Fatal Alert: Field68K.c, Line:253, Form object (field) not found.

Earlier it said that ZLib compression was not supported by my device,
I reinstalled the lib providing it, thinking another application might
have replaced it with an older version or something, then the message
changed into this.

I am not running any weird OS extensions (the only application that
comes close to this is DateBk4 I guess) and most other software worked
fine after the move to the new palm.

Looking forward to hear other peoples ideas on this.

One footnote to David's suggestion. If you're having any further
problems with the latest version on hires site, download the
cleaner_en.prc program. That'll atleast clean out any old remanents of
the previous (non OS5) version of the viewer you had installed.

The original zlib will work fine (provided you have the lastest
viewer). However, the zlib linked on hires.plkr.org will provide
specific support for ARM devices, and will work much faster than the
standard version.

RE: Plucker bug or problem on my device?

2003-02-08 Thread David A. Desrosiers

 I call it a possible bug because I don't know if it's a problem with
 Plucker itself, or is a side-effect of something screwy on my Visor. The
 latter case is why I'm tempted to do a hard reset and redo everything from
 scratch.

Have you reported it in bugs.plkr.org yet? If not, please do, and be
as detailed as possible in your report, making sure to fill out the fields
for your Plucker version, and other details, as well as what you tried, and
what effects it had on your device and version of Plucker.

 Why is removing the document entry from the library listing an
 inappropriate response to that condition?

My guess: because without a rescan, Plucker still thinks the
document exists. It has no reason to think othewise. Let's report it and let
the others pick it apart.

That will be my next step.  I raised it here to see if anyone had a
bright idea about what might be going on first.

My feel is that if the delete operation returns an error because the
underlying file isn't there, that should be evidence that the document
doesn't exist, and removing the listing from plkrdoclist is an
appropriate response. :)

I'll report this one, too.

Plucker corrupted card?

2003-02-08 Thread Anthony Schellenberg
I hadn't noticed until today, that there was a newer hires version of plucker on 
hires.plkr.org (I was currently using the 20021124 version with no problems.  After 
installing the 20030110 version, launching Plucker resulted in a DnWriteCheck crash. 
After restarting my Sony T615 popped up the unrecognized Format dialog asking if I 
wished to reformat.  I hit cancel, but now I see that everything on my 16mb 
memorystick has been wiped out.  I had 2 plucker files on the card, most of them in 
main memory.  I still cannot launch plucker, even after using the cleaner utility.  
I'll have to revert and try and figure out what was all on the card that I now need to 
reinstall.  Anyone else have a problem like this?  It's been out for a while and I 
haven't seen mention of problems, not even mention of an upgraded version until 
something I read today.  Thanks.

Plucker 1.2.0.3 MSW package: Sync to card, Conduit, Terminate-nice commandline

2003-02-08 Thread Robert O'Connor
A new Plucker package is available for MS Windows.

It is available at: 
www.clinicalexam.com/pluckerdesktop/downloads/msw/plucker_desktop_setup.exe

The three main parts included are:

(1) A conduit that allows the ability to update any due channels when hit the HotSync 
button, 
and install them to the device. Enable/disable this by Preferences  Autoupdate and 
take the 
newly unhidden 4th radiobutton. This is from Bill Nalen and works very slick in 
testing.

(2) Sync output directly to card from plucker-desktop (This was just built based from 
what 
users described as happening, I don't know if it will work). There is multiple 
destinations as 
before, but a new column for RAM vs. card. Built to use the feature also for POSIX and 
pilot-
link when sync-to-card code is contributed to pilot-link.

(3) The case of:
- MS Windows
- in commandlinemode
- using progress dialog
- set to automatically close when done
now properly terminates the application. 

Also when there is no channels due, it just ends silently [instead of popping a dialog 
that 
says no channels are due], as per the docs.

Will spend next while on some other outstanding things, like IPC ready for Tony's 
PlkrData and 
some other things that are in the feature tracker on plkr.org.

Best wishes,
Robert

Got it, though I think that just manually deleting the old non-working

I grabbed the one with ARM support and it works nicely.
