I have a Tungsten E with a 512MB SD card and Plucker 1.8 installed. Plucker and the documents it reads live on the card. I use Rafael Fetzer's freeware PDA Converter from www.jakewalk.de to create Plucker files from local HTML documents, and install them using a USB card reader to my 512MB SD card. I put the Plucker files in /Palm/Programs/Plucker. At this point, I have about 1850 Plucker documents occupying something over 200MB on the card. Everything shows up fine. One thing to check is the Plucker Preferences on your PDA. One change to Plucker a few versions back was to add an option to manually update the installed documents list. This was necessary because the default action was for Plucker to rescan the device for documents every time you open it. On older/slower devices with expansion cards, this could take a *long* time. If manual update is selected, Plucker will only update the document list when you specifically tell it to do so. Invoke Plucker, and select Options/Preferences/Library. In the Library PReferences form, there is a drop-down menu for "Update list:" The possible choices are Automatic Plucker rebuilds the document index every time you run it Manual Plucker rebuilds the document index only when you tell it to. Ignore Card Plucker updates the document list when run, but only looks for documents in RAM. If I had to guess, I'd say your preferences are set to Ignore Card or Manual. If it's Ignore Card, change it to Manual, then tap OK. Next, tap Menu, and select Update Document List from the Options menu. I suspect your missung documents will appear. > Jennifer ______ Dennis _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
