Are you kidding, right? External storages are usually FAT and so what you said makes no sense. And there are other ways to solve it, let's not get into this discussion... all of them the resource is per application and not per file. > The PDF application is also a very good example in my opinion.

They should md5/sha1 the relevant part of the file (ie: ignore comments and annotations) and consider that. Or have something fully integrated to track the moves into the system (like Windows or MacOS). But like I said and Raster agreed, keeping this in Emotion is a NO GO. Just remove it, please. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
