Known Bugs / Planned Enhancements:
Last Updated September 5, 2004

As of version 1.2.1:

Known Bugs:
• Problems reported if favorite name contains unicode characters
• Problems reported if favorite folder name(s) contain more than one space
• Problems reported if favorite folder name(s) contain underscores
• Investigate reported problem where in some cases hotsync log reports that directory "C:" could not be created (error code 13)

Planned Functional additions on the desktop conduit:
• Add Netscape support
• Provide option in installer to copy permanent files somewhere else
• Use InstallShield or InstallBuilder or something to create a more standard GUI installer
• Provide the ability to specify a different root favorites directory
• Back up all the desktop favorites before doing anything, to provide ability to roll back if something goes wrong mid-sync (also for user comfort)
• Track "last accessed" information so that if items are added to the desktop they at least have a chance of appearing in the recently used list
• Provide the option to sync mutiple machines using a subfolder for each machine. For example, favorites from your home pc would be synced with a "home" subfolder on your work machine, and favorites from your work machine would be synced with a "work" subfolder on your home machine. This way they could be kept separate, while still having access to all of them from either location.
• Investigate option to synchronize usernames and passwords that are tied to specific favorites (if in fact IE even supports this functionality)
• Try to either merge or duplicate handheld favorites database with PalmOne's Web Pro / Web Browser Pro handheld database (so that users can access the same list of favorites as Web Pro / Web Browser Pro bookmarks)
• Add Opera support

Planned Functional additions on the handheld application:
• Clean up add/edit validation (shouldn't switch back to main list while validation error is displayed)
• Show records in alphabetical order
• Make the "Name" field larger
• Make the scroll bar look more standard
• Allow the use of the hardware scroll buttons
• Follow the same validation rules as Internet Explorer
• Improve subfolder support/navigation, especially on main list page
• Make subfolders collapsable
• Add search functionality/compatibility
• Add horizontal scrollbar to list screen
• Ability to IR beam links to other PalmOS devices

Planned Internal Code Changes:
• Change LastState file to XML format
• Use ESCommon.dll (from RegXML) in both conduit and installer to avoid duplicating code between the two
• Fix size limitation in LinkSyncDesktopLastState::LoadFromFile()
• Run the conduit through BoundsChecker to look for memory leaks
• Don't always open the handheld database in write-mode
• Misc conduit code cleanup
• In conduit, don't store all records in memory at once
• When reading/writing desktop favorites, use Microsoft IShellLink interface
• Possibly convert the entire conduit to Java
• Rename AddUrl() function on handheld application (it's not really accurate)
• Switch resource code to PilRC (since Constructor won't work on a machine with 1GB of memory and Palm appears to have no intention of fixing it or even responding to queries about this issue)
