Some more comments (some of them points out items that would need to
be changed for the Unix and Linux platforms),

- it's unnecessary to include an option to turn on/off the compression,
  since it doesn't make sense to not use at least DOC compression (if 
  the compressed data will be bigger than the uncompressed data the 
  uncompressed data will be included by default)

- the max width and height pixels are too low (i.e. the max value is
  the default value -- you probably want to be able to set it higher)

- the max compress images limit is also too low

- should include some info that the option to display an icon in the 
  launcher really is an option to make the Plucker document launchable
  (and that this only works on newer versions of Palm OS)

- might be a good idea to have all items selected by default in the
  "Install Handheld Software" dialog

- it would be nice if it was possible to set different verbosity for
  the channels

- missing option to set the image parser (we have several in the Unix/
  Linux version:)

- might be a good idea to be able to set image options in the hyperlink
  dialog

- is it possible to "lock" the "invisible" column (used to store the
  directory in the Windows version -- I use it to store the section
  name), so that you can't make it visible? 


Items that are useless on a Unix/Linux system (or have to be modified
to be useful):

- "Launch Plucker into taskbar..."

- "*.exe" to identify programs in the File dialog

- the "Sync to" tab should be given a different name in the Linux
  version, since it will have nothing to do with hotsync

- "Send to Sync username" and "Install to" have to be changed for
  the Linux version -- no sync user name and some of us rather
  install it on the device than sending it to a directory ;-)
