The problem is that the hotsync protocol states that each record in a database (in our case, a record can be an image, link, page, etc) can not exceed 64k in size. Even though a plucked jpeg may not exceed 64k, once the image is converted into a palm image format, it may very well. I didn't know ofcourse that the parser was smart enough to automagically lower the bitdepth if it gets an image thats too large (cool if it actually does, I'm still using a 1.1.14 parser) in which case, it'll have to suffice for now. A while ago I was playing with the idea of splitting images across multiple records, in which case the viewer would be smart enough to identify where each image exists as what part and piece each part together properly. Other things came up (like the hires version) which took priority. > Any idea what's wrong or when this limitation might be over come? > Thanks... and again, great work! Again, due to the protocol limitation, our hands are tied. One day this'll be fixed though. -- Adam McDaniel Array.org Calgary, AB, Canada
