EXAMPLES

               Examples:
               pilot-foto -p /dev/pilot -f pilot-foto -d MyImage.jpg
               pilot-foto -i MyImage.jpg
               pilot-foto -i *.jpg
               pilot-foto -f MyImage
               pilot-foto -c MyImage.jpg.pdb

PROBLEMS

   Palm has not published their database format for  the  thumbnails.  So,
   pilot-foto  puts  a generic penguin thumbnail for every image uploaded.
   Fotos can be accessed by a named list on the handheld as  well  as  the
   thumbnails.  This  has  been  tried  on  a  couple  of handhelds. It is
   possible that a foreign palm or different model will not like it.

   To get a thumbnail image you can copy the jpegs to the memory card.  If
   you  copy them back to the handheld they will have a new thumbnail that
   matches the jpeg.

BUGS

   If  a  jpeg  is installed with the same name as one already on the palm
   you will have 2 thumbnails pointing to the same jpeg. The new jpeg will
   overwrite the old jpeg.

   If  the  thumbnail fails to install then the jpeg should be removed. It
   is not.

   We have an online bug tracker. Using this is the  only  way  to  ensure
   that  your  bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are
   resolved or closed. Reporting bugs via email, while easy, is  not  very
   useful  in  terms  of  accountability.  Please  point  your  browser to
   http://bugs.pilot-link.org: http://bugs.pilot-link.org and report  your
   bugs and issues there.
