Exactly. But you could restore the cache, figuring that it's still valid since you restored everything else. You would have to restore it _after_ you restored all the other databases. > Perhaps the best thing to do is record the category of each app during > backup.

There is no supported way to query or set the category of an app. You'd have to muck with the Launcher's private database. This is complicated by the fact that it's changed several times. And your code will need to be updated if (or should I say when) the format changes again. - Danny -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
