PROBLEMS

131       Palm has not published their database format for  the  thumbnails.  So,
132       pilot-foto  puts  a generic penguin thumbnail for every image uploaded.
133       Fotos can be accessed by a named list on the handheld as  well  as  the
134       thumbnails.  This has been tried on a couple of handhelds. It is possi‐
135       ble that a foreign palm or different model will not like it.
136
137
138       To get a thumbnail image you can copy the jpegs to the memory card.  If
139       you  copy them back to the handheld they will have a new thumbnail that
140       matches the jpeg.

BUGS

149       If  a  jpeg  is installed with the same name as one already on the palm
150       you will have 2 thumbnails pointing to the same jpeg. The new jpeg will
151       overwrite the old jpeg.
152
153
154       If  the  thumbnail fails to install then the jpeg should be removed. It
155       is not.

158       We have an online bug tracker. Using this is the  only  way  to  ensure
159       that  your  bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are
160       resolved or closed. Reporting bugs via email, while easy, is  not  very
161       useful  in  terms  of  accountability.  Please  point  your  browser to
162       http://bugs.pilot-link.org: http://bugs.pilot-link.org and report  your
163       bugs and issues there.
