1. Introduction |
|
URLsync is a database application to track your favorite
internet URLs, usernames, passwords of subscribed sites and additional notes on your
PalmPilot(TM). It is created with Brad Goodman's PalmFactory Development Tool. Features include
|
2. Requirements & Installation |
|
The URLsync should work on any Palm device with any Palm OS version and takes about 20 kb of memory. Additional memory is needed to store the site information. Each site requires about 120-140 bytes without a note:
To install the application, first use a standard unzip utility to extract all the files and run the PalmPilot Install Tool. Select the "urlsync.prc" file provided and the next time you HotSync, the application will be loaded into your PalmPilot. If you also install the "CatExample.pdb" and "UrlExample.pdb" files you can see what the application look like. |

4. Known bugs and Limitations |
The below bugs and limitations are directly related to
PalmFactory development environment and I am fully dependent to author of it. If a new
version comes out without these bugs, I will release a new version of this application as
well. 1-Never tap "Del" button while you creating a new record (URL or Category Entry screens). You will receive an error and you might be forced to soft reset the Palm Pilot. Instead, create the record, browse it, and delete. 2-When the Category field is pulled down, the width of the dropdown box equals the width of the currently selected category.This means is that the dropdown box does not display all of the text if a short value has been previously selected. 3-Sometimes categories shown on the URLs Entry screen (in record detail) are mangled and ends with a square character. If this is the case I advice you to select dropdown list and correct the category entry, otherwise that record will not belong to a known category. 4-Clipboard functions are not available.(You cannot use copy paste commands, but by using one of the clipboard hacks, it is possible to paste something on a field. My favorite clipboard hack is MultiClip) 5-HW up-down buttons are not functional. Instead of them use the up-down arrows on the screen. 6- Searching the database is not supported. |
