Actually, what might be a better way to do this is to pre-scan the .pdb for any images, and find the highest bpp of the images contained from within, and store that in the meta file. Then the bpp would automagically change depending upon what the images are like in the document. The only bad thing I can see about this is that if you're viewing a document with no images, 1-bpp would be defaulted upon (minus colour links ofcourse), then people on colour devices may notice (and complain) that their menus, titles, buttons have spontaneously switched to black and white. > 3.

I can add that into the hires branch's library form, and it should work fine. > Yes, I know I could make them _all_ launchable docs, stick them > in a 'Plucker' category in my standard Palm launcher, and just > graffiti to them that way, but the filename on the pdb is not the > same as the title displayed in the Document Library, unless I > make it such, and this would only work with documents I can > control or rename on my own. Nah, that would be too complicated,.. I'll alter the source on libraryform.c. As for dbmgrform.c (the original, well-known library form) I'm not too sure how easy it is to add it into there, but I can alteast update what I wrote. -- Adam McDaniel Array.org Calgary, AB, Canada
