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.
