I don't see any need to convert spaces into '_' - the space character is
completely legitimate in VFS file names.
Technically, here's what's allowed in VFS file names:
- Letters A through Z.
- Digits 0 through 9.
- All characters with ASCII codes greater than 127.
- Space.
- The following characters below 30h: $ % - _ @ ~ ! ( ) { } ^ # &
If you exclude these chars above 165d, files with non-English names (i.e.
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) will end up being nothing but underscores).
The only stuff you *really* need to keep out is "/ \ : ? *" since
DOS/Windows uses those for path separators and wildcards.

What characters should I dissalow (translate into spaces or _ characters)= ? So far, I've got the following rules set up: =09if ( *p =3D=3D '/' ) *p =3D '_'; =09if ( *p < ' ' ) *p =3D '_'; =09if ( *p > 165 ) *p =3D '_'; Where *p is each character of the filename.

I think you're trying to do too much with the plug-in architecture. You're
trying to create an extensible file system but VFS is *already* extensible.
For example, if you want an NFS or FTP module, why wouldn't you just write
it as a filesystem module that plugs into the VFS manager so that all
applications (not just FileCaddy) can use it?
Also, the more complex the plug-in architecture, the less likely developers
will be to write plug-ins. I know that what you have so far doesn't seem all
that complicated to you, but the fact is most PalmOS developers are *not*
expert C coders and I guarantee that what you're proposing will severely
limit who can and will write plug-ins. Even the simple plug-in architecture
for FAFileMover (simple as it was) was too complicated for few developers
that I approached with it.
Unfortunately, I don't have much time for FileCaddy these days (I'm
desperately trying to find enough paid work to keep Kopsis afloat) so I'll
leave the decision of how to proceed up to you.

There are no documented functions in the PalmOS API for reading and writing
specific expansion card sectors. Without that capability, low-level
filesystem utilities (like scandisk or fsck) are impossible.

I got the following from a FileCaddy user. I already responded to his
question about plug-ins. It might be a good idea if the download links take
folks to a "under development" page.
As for the 1400x1050 resolution issue, I've requested browser details and
will post his reply when I get it.

Understandable, especially under Windows ^_^; I was tired as of that
writing (and still am... 12 hours and going weakly) Of course, the
variables can be overwritten by global variables or a defaults.make file
in the build directory.

Well said! The API isn't that bad, as far as I can tell. Preliminary
support is now there - it sets the graphics mode and plays nice. Check
out the feature request for the complete to-do list :D
The only reason I was able to get started at all was because I needed to
fix a client's Clie T615C, and had it overnight. I'll try continuing
with the Sony Palm Emulator.
High resolution functions are all wrapped in #ifdef's and if (
HiResSupport ) statements. There are several new global variables (some
nessicary, marked by *'s, some not.)
*Boolean HiResEnabled = false;
*UInt16 HRLibRef;
UInt32 ScreenWidth = 160,
ScreenHeight = 160;
*UInt32 PalmOSVersion;
And some #defines of PalmOS version codes in Globals.h. The
PalmOSVersion stuff is to place wrappers around 3.5+/4.0 explicit code
(i.e. WinScreenLock). I've sloved the flickering problem, the easay
way.
A better way would to capture how many lines to scroll (using jog-wheel,
or scrollbar) and move the bitmap up that many lines, then only redraw
the -new- items. That would speed up the refresh immensely.
I've also created a few new images - a home icon and some
higher-resolution application icons. None of which have been included
in the application, but they're there. Now to add them to CVS...

I'm totally ok with ditching Palm-DefaultVars.make and Palm-CustomVars.make
but I'm not ok with hard coding "m68k-palmos-gcc" (or any other specific
executable names) in the makefile and relying on the PATH. Using the PATH
environment variable (instead of specifying the full path to the executable
in the command) significantly slows down builds on some systems.
Keep the makefile using things like CC, PILRC, PALMRC, and OBJRES just as it
does now and then document at the top that the user has to define those
environment variables to match where he/she has the tools installed before
running the makefile. Move any non-tool env vars that Palm-DefaultVars and
Palm-CustomVars set up (and that we still need) into the top of the
makefile. Then it's trivial to set up a little "fc-dev.setup" script that
sets all the correct environment variables whenever you want to work on
FileCaddy (and if you want to "export CC=m68k-palmos-gcc" and then rely on
PATH to find it you can).
As for the brain fart that Sony calls the Hi-res API (and here I thought
they couldn't do worse than they did with VFS), make sure anything you add
for that (including #includes) is totally conditional. No one should be
forced to have the Clie SDK in order to build FileCaddy. We should probably
also consider two releases once that's in place so that non-Sony users don't
have to deal with the bloat that the hi-res API causes.

This time I'm asking before blundering ahead ;) Since FileCaddy no longer uses any Handspring-related APIs (there was no practical reason for me to inflict them upon my system in the first place, if you think about it ;) is there a way to avoid using the Plam-DefaultVars.make and Palm-CustomVars.make files? I.e. just have m68k-palmos-gcc IN THE PATH, instead of having a makefile that defines the location. After installing the new Prc-tools package, I encountered countless errors where I had to shift files around, or tweak them to get them working with FileCaddy again. Not to mention Sony SDK... That's another thing - Sony High-Resolution support. Seems easy enough to add (and has been requested for VFSBrowser in the past) so I've added it to the to-do list. -- Matthew (Darkstorm) Bevan mb...@ma...

What we need most are developers willing to write plugins :D I have all those great plugins thought out, but not much ability to actually design half of them.

Well, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions about FileCaddy's lack of bugs just
yet :) Relatively speaking *very* few people have tested it. However, it
does sound like it's ready for a 1.0 (non pre) release.
I'll finish up the press release and get it in circulation. I'll add a call
to developers to the press release so it's clear that we're looking for both
users and developers. I'll try to send you a copy of the press release for
comments before I leave for class tonight. Email back any
comments/suggestions and I'll release it to various Visor/Clie/Palm news
sites tomorrow morning as well as PalmGear and Handango.
BTW - you might want to change "nessicary" to "necessary" on the website's
news page :)

Well, seeing as almost all current bugs are debugged, and features are added, I believe we can make a call out to developers for help adding new stuff and developing some plugins.

Trickery and version control should never be used in the same sentence :)
The right way to "back out" the change is to not back it out at all, just
run everything through astyle again and commit a new rev.

Opening braces? Do you mean consistent use or where they're located? I like
K&R because it saves screen real estate and because I've been using it for
the last 17 years, but if you'd rather see opening braces on their own line
(Allman style), I can live with that. Whitesmith style (opening brace on new
line *and* indented to match the enclosed block) kinda drives me nuts though
and gnu style (indent the opening brace one level and then indent the
enclosed block another level) is almost as annoying :) In fact when it comes
to the GNU C style guide I think Torvalds had the right idea ...
"First off, I'd suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards, and
NOT read it. Burn them, it's a great symbolic gesture."
