ppmtoTbmp was deprecated *LONG* ago, and you should be using the new
netpbm2 color maps. I'll add this question to the FAQ more clearly, since it
comes up so often.
FAQ: Why can't I see color inside Plucker, I'm using the latest
ppmtoTbmp, but it doesn't have a -4bpp or higher option, where can I
find a patch?
It's not called ppmtoTbmp any longer. The new and improved
version is called pnmtopalm and was included for the first
time in netpbm-9.10.
Compile and install that version and then do the following,
1. Add the map files to the [POSIX] section in your .pluckerrc
file.
palm1bit_graymap_file = /usr/local/netpbm/lib/palmgray1.map
palm2bit_graymap_file = /usr/local/netpbm/lib/palmgray2.map
palm4bit_graymap_file = /usr/local/netpbm/lib/palmgray4.map
palm8bit_stdcolormap_file = /usr/local/netpbm/lib/palmcolor8.map
Change the path to the location of your installed netpbm.
2. Specify that you want to use the new netpbm image parser in the
[DEFAULT] section.
image_parser=netpbm2
NOTE: Don't forget to remove (or change) the ppmtoTbmp_program
config string if you have added that to your .pluckerrc file.
FAQ: Will ppmtoTbmp still work?
No.

Colour images and Unix
I can't get colour images to work on Unix, since ppmtoTbmp seems broken -- it only accepts -2bit (not -4bit), and the resulting bpp=2 image is shown as a double-width monochrome image in Plucker on my IIIc. So, is there a patched ppmtoTbmp somewhere? (The program should be listed explicitly in the software requirements for Unix, btw, it's not part of any netpbm I know.) Versions: ppmtoTbmp 1.1 from http://www.isaac.cs.berkeley.edu/pilot/ plucker 1.1.12 (tar.bz2) Kjetil T.

Add a check to see if a menu is active (includes the use of a
command shortcut) to the HandleShiftGestures function, e.g.
MenuBarType* activeMenu;
activeMenu = MenuGetActiveMenu();
if ( activeMenu != NULL )
return false;

Maybe also move Details to the View menu (as you have suggested in
the past)?
