As I understand it, VFSRegisterDefaultDirectory only works on with MIME types or file extensions. As we distribute in .pdb format (again just so those w/o VFS don't have any issues) all we do is document in the readme file that the databases can be moved to either directory. Since we made the change to support the default directory, I haven't had one support issue on it. The downside aside from disoranization is also potentially speed. We have to query all the DBs that someone might have lumped in the directory and find the appropriate ones that we care about. So if someone had say 100 .pdb files in that directory we might have problems... -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
