the nature is that it copies to ram, then uses it and removes it.
pretty much simulating an install/removal of an application. that
raises another question - when the "removal" is done, does it
fry the preference data too? :)
as for your problem, you might be able to check the "delete" bit
on the application - i am not sure if they set this bit when they
copy it from the cards :) maybe something to look into?
ie: if (removed && !deletebitwasset)
something along those lines - but then, in your case, what if
the card is no longer inserted and you try the swipe/exec method?
it seems a complex little thing, and maybe you should reside your
hack for RAM based apps only? anything on cards/etc are not
recognised - you'll make your hack twice as big trying to support
them :)
thats my 2c..
