Hi folks, I've got a lot of input, and I took the time and released a new version of the above tools.
1) I updated the conduit on the weekend, so that it will store the following values in a new section in the plucker.ini file called "Conduit". There are two values, AutoSync (true/false) to determine whether the DB should be synced at all, and another called SyncPeriod (Integer) to determine when to sync in hours after the last sync. If this value is 0, it will always be synced, otherwise just after the DB file is older than the specified number of hours. Question is, how to keep this setting for many users on the same machine - I'd suggest adding the HotSync name to the key name or something like that.... till now, it'll be the same for every user. That way, it's totally compatible with other tools, and the ini file for the conduit itself is no longer needed. 2) I've also removed the DB selection process from the conduit dialog and used the default conduit dialog to enabled/disable it. That would mean, the new plucker.ini values need to be managed either manually, or using a GUI like the one I wrote - I updated it as well. 3) I've just uploaded version 004 of the conduit and 002 of the GUI to http://plkrcond.extrareto.de. I'd like to get your feedback! 4) There's also a way to integrate the GUI into the Palm Desktop itself - just a simple registry addition: Add to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\ApplicationPlkrMgr: "Module"="D:\\Palm\\Plucker\\PlkrMgr.exe" (String) "Integrate"=dword:00000001 (dword) "Name"="Plucker" (String) "Arguments"="" (String) "Creator"=dword:506c6b72 (dword) Of course, the path must point to the correct PlkrMgr.exe :-). 5) I'd be grateful, Dirk, if you could provide us with an installer (for conduit and GUI, maybe?) again, if you have the time. Could you please also email me the source code for the installer, I couldn't download the file from your site (just got a message like "corrupted file")? TIA! 6) Suggestions for the future? Go ahead and tell me, I'd really like to help out a bit! Phil
