Re: Naming conventions under VFS manager
but wouldn't it produce an empty filename? and maybe the FATFS implementation run into a neverending loop with empty filenames? Henk Ken Krugler wrote: Hi Jonatan, I am having problems creating a file with VFSFileCreate() if the file name contains international characters. err = VFSFileCreate(vfsRefNum, /MYDIR/aaa.tmp); is working. err = VFSFileCreate(vfsRefNum, /MYDIR/ÂÂÂ.tmp); is not. Execution stops, the Palm freezes and no error code is returned. In the Reference manual it says in the comments about VFSFileCreate: It is the *responsibility of the file system library* to ensure that all filenames are translated into a format that is compatible with the native format of the file system, such as the 8.3 convention for a FAT file system without long filename support. I am working with the NR70 series and a Memory Stick card. [ Which like all VFS enabled Palm is using the VFAT file system if I am correct, and thus have long file name support. ] Can you not create files if its name contains international characters? This should work, since the VFS code tries to convert from PalmLatin to UTF-16LE when creating long file names, and it has code in place to convert from PalmLatin to the DOS code page for the 8.3 short format. What was the version of Palm OS, and what device, where you encounter the freeze?

Fonts are based on what typeface?
I'm working with a graphic designer who is doing the UI layout and design for my current project. She's producing a few canned bitmaps, but wants to match the font that appears on the Palm. Does anyone know what font this is, or what is was based on? It looks like Arial, but I'd like to know for sure.

Get Palm files on dektop
Hi, How can I export data created by my application from Palm to desktop? I first tried to just creat a file using FileOpen and FileWrite. The file was created ok but when I sync using HotSync the file didn't appear in my Backup directory. I know that I can do similar stuff using DB but I think that using FileOpen and FileWrite is more easy and simple isn't it? Anyway, I can't find a way to get the .PDB file too. Can anyone help me please? Thanks, Alexandre -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

If you create a database and set the backup bit, it will be backed up to your desktop during the next HotSync. Probably, what you should do is to write a conduit. Conduits are software plug-ins for the HotSync® Manager application. They exchange and synchronize data between a desktop computer and a Palm OS® platform handheld computer.

Re: Fonts are based on what typeface?
If your graphic design wants an installable font to simulate the Palm screenshots, I've got a set of fonts that came from an earlier Codewarrior install. They've been very handy in laying up UI designs in our graphics package (Macromedia Fireworks). If your graphic designer runs Windows, email me privately and I can send them to you. I agree with George, AFAIK the Palm fonts are special. In any regard, your graphic designer should be talented enough to pick a close matching real font to use. -W At 03:35 AM 9/9/2002, you wrote: I'm working with a graphic designer who is doing the UI layout and design for my current project.

Is there an easy way to count resources?
Hi, I've got the 'error while creating/copying resource fork' and 'error while saving resources' link errors that the form indicates is sometimes caused by having more than 2800 resources. While we're using a lot of resources I thought that we were well below that limit, but counting them by hand doesn't appeal to me. Does anyone know of a tool that can count resources? I tried using PRC2BIN but it doesn't seem to export form elements separately (no point, I guess) so they're not included in the 'count'.
