My app has a set of 20 or so pdb databases, from which the user installs a few, usually on a memory card. I'd like them to wind up in their own directory rather than the default /PALM/Launcher/. Is there a way to set that up automatically, or does my app need to move them when it sees them in /PALM/Launcher/? Is there a function that will move them, or does my app need to read the file, copy it, and delete the old one?
Perhaps I'm not clear on what you are trying to do, but this sounds like an odd thing to want to do. If you put PDBs in VFS but not in / PALM/Launcher, when the user HotSyncs new versions (or even the same ones), they will be HotSynced to /PALM/Launcher and then you have two copies. You cannot set PDBs to HotSync elsewhere on the card without screwing every body else up, whereas if you use a non PDB file format, you can set it to HotSync wherever you like. Also, non PDB formats can be written to, unlike PDBs in VFS.
