Hi...
I've got a few things to inquire about with Plucker. I'm currently
running version 1.1 on my Palm m505 with the desktop application
running on my Win98 box (soon to be linux once I come up with a
solution for one of my other conduits). I just saw today that
there is a newer version and read through the release notes, but
did not find answers to my questions, so here they are:
1. Have not had any luck in getting any images on my unit to convert
with anything better than 8-bit color. I thought I had seen in
older release notes about 16-bit color being supported. Was this
only under linux or should this work with the Win98 converter, too?
2. Some images cause a crash and lockup on my m505 when trying
to open them in the viewer. I have to do a soft-reset to
recover and those images will repeat the lockup when I bring
them up again. I'm wondering if Zlib is buggy or the images
were corrupted during conversion...?
3. Wondering if there was going to be support for links that are
directly to images and not just to html pages with images. I
was going to setup a thumbnail and image viewer document to be
converted by Plucker, but found I had to create a simple html
page with an image tag on it in order for anything to show
(when it doesn't lock up), otherwise the link directly to the
jpg file always failed. It has been a while since I last tested
this, so I can't remember if it didn't convert/load the image,
saying that the URL wasn't downloaded or if it just locked up.
4. I've seen a *few* pictures on my unit that are larger than the
palm screen and allowed panning, but for the most part, the page
with these large images on them do not open at all without
crashing, even though the jpg data is fairly small (same problem
as number 2 above?).
Thanks for any advice on any of these topics... :)
