I can't say if this has been fixed in 1.2, as the problem is only
noticable on a HandEra, and the hires branch is still at 1.2beta13, it
seems.

If you happen to have more than one memory card in the handheld, Plucker
will list databases on all cards, but trying to pull them up results
in "Cannot find document in RAM or on external card" except for one card.
I can't say which card is the one that works in the general case, but on
the case of the HandEra 330, if both slots are in use, files on the SD
card will work and those in the CF slot won't.  It's quite consistent in
this respect.

For those that aren't aware of this, the HandEra 330 has both SD and CF
slots.  I picked up a 128MB CF card when I got my HandEra, and it wasn't
until this weekend that I picked up an MP3 player that takes MMC cards.
Out of curiosity, I stuck one in my HandEra and learned two things.  1)
Plucker seems to only want to pull docs from the first (or last?) volume
it finds, and 2) MMC is dog slow compared to CF. (on the order of 15 times
slower using the Backup tool).

Before someone fires back with the usual "patches welcome" I should tell
you that I might just take up this problem, depending on where this falls
in my priority list, though it will probably be rather low priority since
this only came up because I was goofing around.  I've done HandEra
programming before and like it, but I've got a list of two open-source
projects that need a little HandEra optimization, and two that I want to
do from the ground up.

As for the silkscreen bug, the Silk and None setting for the Toolbar under
preference seem to be reversed.  Set the option to Silk and you get none,
set it to None and you get the toolbar in the silkscreen area.

Aside from these two quirks and a few forms that aren't getting rescaled,
Plucker has better than average HandEra support (few programs would bother
going as far as having controls in the silkscreen area of a minimized
display).  Excellent job :-)
