One of the best things about plucker is the immediacy of help. This list
is most useful.
Thanks for the info, I have found the pdb's where you describe. In my
innocence I did not imagine there was any reason for not transferring each
channel as it completes.
I think a code fork would be undesirable, and a configurable option
preferable. I don't know if I am up to the programming however. Could be a
learning experience :-)
Treat all my suggestions as just ideas. I certainly don't think they
detract very much from the great Plucker.

They are in /channels/SOMECHANNEL/somechannel.pdb
Each .pdb has to have a unique name else they may overwrite each other when
they go to the
Palm/Install directory. The plucker.ini file requires sections to be
unique, therefore the file
name is the same as the section. I didn't have much interest in sending
them to some ghetto
directory--the exclusionlist.txt, home.html, the .pdb, and other future
things like a cookie,
etc, stay with the channel in one directory, so if you delete a folder
everything goes, and
when some future tool looks for any of the component files, they always
know where to find it.
You can read the plucker-dev from autumn 2001 for a full discussion of
this.

The source is available. Feel free to implement it like this--you will need
to reorder the code
in the build_progress_dialog.cpp. You can read through the archives to see
why it does not in
CVS. Perhaps though instead of a code fork in the code, it might be
configurable for all
platforms, and the default for the key stays to transfer at the end, on
platforms that use
pilot-link.

Could well be. But this probably isn't something that is going to hold up a
1.2 release.
Perhaps later on.

Glad you enjoy it.
