I had just installed a number of PDBs directly to my SD card (via QuickInstall) which were mostly iSilo documents. QuickInstall places these files in PALM\Launcher. Using iSilo, I browsed to PALM\Launcher and for each file, proceded to remove the spaces from the name, set its Category and finally Move it to PALM\Programs\iSilo.

After all moves were complete, I changed some views (I forget exact sequence, much of this finagling is due to the lack of Unfiled which means I have a hell of a time figuring out which files don't show up in Categorized view - my preferred view) and at some point iSilo froze and locked up my Palm.
The current state of this SD card is such that iSilo and VFSi (an image & text viewer) lock up my Palm. Doc2Go, Palm Photos, Card Info and RealOne are all able to access their files on this card.

The lockup can be broken by either inserting paperclip in Reset OR simply removing the SD card.

One side effect : Most Categories were lost. I have had other problems with Categories in this beta as well.

When the lockup occurs and you remove the SD card to stop the freeze, I assume that you are still in iSilo after the unfreeze. Which view are you in at that point?

I ended up reformatting the card. I don't remember where I was dumped after card removal.
