View Full Version : PalmOS5: rename database

Beta 4.0.1b3

An attempt to rename a database by changing upper case char to lower case char on an SD card causes an error:

"a file with this name already exists at this location (0x2A06)"

The obvious workaround is to choose a different character for the initial rename and repeat the operation. I suspect this is a PalmOS issue.

After hitting "OK", the listing returns but the pull-down list displays a label "Renan" (that _is_ an 'n' for November char). That, I believe, is an iSilo issue.

Refreshing the pull-down gives "Rename", as expected.

hw: Tungsten T3, SD patches applied last week.

Yes, the rename issue is a Palm OS issue. When looking for a file, the Palm OS VFS implementation is case-insensitive. So the workaround is as you describe.

The issue with the Rename label changing to Renan seems to also be an issue with the Palm OS and appears to be intermittent and not consistently reproducible each time.
