This is from the Companion:
"Other than backup/restore, Palm OS does not provide direct HotSync support for file streams, and none is planned at this time."
That's right. You can't drag a random file into the HotSync installer and have it synced to the device. However, if you convert the file to a File Stream DB first, there should be no problems getting it to the device.
What does this mean in practice? At least the simulator took a 450k .pdb wihout any problems - though I didn't try to play it yet. Or does it just mean that in order to use file streams on must first convert them using PAR (or similar) to .PDBs?
That's the ticket. You also could use your own conduit to manipulate file stream DBs on the device directly.
