As i understand your plan, no. The palm desktop software doesn't backup/restore palm database from the expansion card. So i recommend two ways:Sorry about the repost -- I'm a bit stressed about finding an answer and am not finding much information in my searches on the net and the documents (though I may be looking in the wrong places).
My app needs to export files on the expansion ard to the desktop without a conduit. They're large non-pdb files, ~1Mb. I'm using VFSRegisterDefaultDirectory() to register a file type so that users can import files directly to the expansion card using Palm Quick Install. That part's working great, but it's not clear to me how to do the converse -- to export a file of the same type from the card back to the desktop computer.
Is it possible to do this without developing a custom conduit?
- Set the backup bit of your palm database, to transport this from main memory back to the desktop without a conduit
- Write a simple conduit, where you can exactly do your needs. Based upon the TxtConduit example (see Conduit SDK). This requires only about 10 lines of sync-manager calls and is not hard to manage. You will not need to bother within synchronisation frameworks (PFC, Generic Conduit).
