I've been charged with porting an application from Windows to Palm. So far
it's going well, but I've got a basic question that has got me stumped.
The Windows application has it's own proprietary database. The idea was to
use an SD card to hold the data, and the palm app would be installed on the
machine.
The problem is that the propriatary database has a number of unusuall file
extensions which it uses to specify categories. (I didn't design it, I'm
just porting it). In order to keep data consistant across different
platforms, the extensions must stay.
But when I try putting them on an SD card, the palm ignores them, and also
seems to hide them from my application. When installing, the logfile says
something like, if you've installed an application, run it first and then
hot sync in order to get these files to work.
So my question is (after all that). What is the api to tell palm to let my
application see files with unusual extenstions. (There is a limited number
of them, less then 40).
