Whoa! Don't remove that feature just yet! I'm using it in my almost-ready-for-release Plucker conduit for ColdSync! I run "plucker-build -q -c" in a cron job, and the conduit pulls the information from the cache directory (so I'm not pulling stuff from the web during sync, which would be too long). Except for ColdSync not sending the updated creation date to the Palm (requiring me to delete the metadata file by hand with Z'Catalog), I push the sync button in the morning, just before leaving home, and pick up the Palm 10 seconds later (nothing to fuss about on the computer) and I'm gone. Very nice. -- Pierre Phaneuf http://advogato.org/person/pphaneuf/ _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
