I'm currently running the 1.8 viewer on a Palm Tungsten E under OS 5.2.1.
The E has a 512MB Lexar SD card, and all Plucker docs are in
/Palm/Programs/Plucker on the card.  There are currently 1,118 Plucker
documents, occupying 185MB of space.

The quirk:

I normally use a USB card reader to put stuff on the card, dropping the
Plucker documents directly into /Palm/Programs/Plucker.  I then do an Update
Document List operation to let Plucker discover the new documents, and
categorize them as appropriate.  The new documents show up as expected in
the Unfiled category.

The quirk is that one or two existing, already categorized documents also
suddenly show as Unfiled.  If I categorize everything in Unfiled, and do
another Update Documents operation, the formerly categorized documents that
suddenly appear in Unfiled are likely to still be there.  If I exit Plucker,
re-invoke it, and re-categorize the existing docs in Unfiled, everything
appears to be okay.

This isn't a show-stopper, but is odd.  I don't understand why previously
categorized documents should suddenly lose thier category and show as
Unfiled.  Am I pushing some undocumented limit on how many docs the viewer
can handle?

The question:

I normally use the Advanced Library View.  If I categorize documents from
it, Plucker does a sorting when categorizing the document.  If I use the
Classic View, Plucker simply categorizes the document.  If I'm categorizing
a *lot* of documents, Classic View makes it *much* faster.  What is it about
the Advanced view that provokes the extra sorting step?

I didn't even realize there was a difference until I decided to combine two
categories into one, and had to re-categorize a lot of documents.  It was
taking a long time working through the Advanced form, and an experiment
using Classic form proved much faster and easier.

Thanks again to the Plucker dev team for the continuing improvements in
Plucker.  The support for hi-res fonts stored in
/Palm/Programs/Plucker/Fonts is particularly nice now that I use a hi-res
device.
