Package: txt2pdbdoc
Version: 1.4.1-2
Severity: important
I own a Handera 330, which has slots for CompactFlash and SD cards,
and a MicroTech CameraMate USB CF/SD reader, and use exclusively CF
cards. This is a bug that only shows up if you use txt2pdbdoc on a
document and then copy it directly to the CF card for later use --
apparantly the act of hotsyncing it repairs the damaged header. If
the damage is not repaired by the system, however, the net result when
the document is later read can be anything from strange to very
unpleasant, depending on the reader. One reader stripped out the
first two characters (or if the first character was a newline,
replaced it with a space) and subsequently wouldn't display those two
characters next to each other later in the document. Other readers
crashed, causing a complete PDA reset. I'm tempted to mark this bug
grave, considering that can cause data loss, but since I think the act
of transferring data via a CF card directly is fairly uncommon, I'm
leaving it as important for now.
By syncing a document to the PDA, transferring it via PDA software to
the CF card, and then copying it from the CF back to the hard drive, I
was able to make a comparison between the damaged and repaired file.
The difference appears to be only in the header, the first few hundred
bytes or so, and the corrected file was 324 bytes longer than the
original.
I can make before-and-after documents available to you upon request if
you need them.
I hope you can fix this; txt2pdbdoc is currently the only PalmDoc
generator in unstable that I can get to work at all.

My most recent tests, copying to a Memory Stick and then reading
=66rom either Weasel Reader or iSilo on a Sony NX80V, have caused no
crashes. This may have been a Handera-specific bug, or a bug specific
to the original AportisDoc (no longer available) or an earlier version
of WeaselReader.
Closing the bug. Thanks for your patience.
