Re: J-Pilot easy to use
Regarding the sync speed: The most likely cause of the slow speed is that jpilot by default backs up all (or at least most) of the files on the PDA. The Palm desktop seems to sync only the data files unless you specifically request backup for files.
Having a full backup is handy when doing a restore.
Subsequent syncs will be quicker since only changed files are backed up.
Re: Wow!
I've been using this software for years and I
still love it. Simple, powerful, effective.
I have only one issue with it. On Solaris (don't know
about other OS'es) 0.99.9 and below has a substantial
memory leak. Over the course of a day, it'll balloon to
hundreds of megs. Obviously restarting it fixes it, but
I don't think that's intended behavior.

Using the dialer function to open an email Mozilla window
Judd,
Congratulations for your JPilot program. I use it as my date and address book, syncronizing with my Palm. Works just fine !! The Find window opens in a separate window, making it much easier to work with , in comparasion with the Window Palm Desktop.
I have recently moved from Windows to Linux, and am not a programmer, altough I have a reasonable Linux administration knowledge.
I have the idea of using the Dialer function to open an email window using as parameter the E-mail address stored in JPilot.
I changed the Dialer command in the Phone Dialer window to :
mozilla -remote "mailto(%n)" . This works fine if the Mozilla Mail is already working.
Clicking in the Dial Button the Mozilla Mail opens correctly, but there is a problem. In the address window dialog , if I enter an alphanumeric character as a "phone number" it is not transfered to the Phone Dialer window, Phone Number box - it works just with numbers.
I tried to look in your source code, but I am a very bad C programmmer. I presume that changing this "cheking" is a minor one, and could add a great functionality for JPilot.
J-Pilot works fine for me
Thanks for this great software.
J-Pilot was bundeled with my RedHat 9 and works fine with my handheld.
I had some trouble getting the USB port to work and gpilotd caused some problems but finally it's working for me.
I am also able to sync my Palm device with Evolution Email through pilot-link.
