ubject: Renaming Using DmSetDatabaseInfo From: "Rich Bruchal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2004 15:09:43 -0000
It seems that using DmSetDatabaseInfo to rename an application or a resource library causes problems on OS 5 devices.
If I do the following:
dBID = DmFindDatabase(usCardNo, "foo");
err = DmSetDatabaseInfo (usCardNo, dBID, "bar", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
the renamed application (or shared resource) will cause a crash if you try to delete it from the launcher. A previous thread:
http://news.palmos.com/read/messages?id=124896#124896
discovered this as well, but there was never any real resoultion.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is it a confirmed OS bug? Is there a workaround? Any information or suggestions would be appreciated.
Perhaps the prudent path is to do a reset after you rename an application?
Even without knowing this specific bug, I always reset after renaming applications to be on the safe side.
