[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Bugs? (or features?)

[Pride Of Lions Nine Arts (LLC)]

Good Evening All.

Brian, you and Ken need to co-ordinate your answers.  Here's what he  
said with regard to exiting the program by simply uncradling the Axim:

"1)	I've noticed that it's difficult to reconnect the Axim to  
MissingSync after I disconnect the device.  I have it set to "Quit On  
Disconnect", but it won't recognize when I try to re-mount the  
device.  Do I always have to "Disconnect" the device from Windows  
Mobile before taking it out of the cradle, or can I have MissingSync  
set to disconnect on device removal and act as if I had chosen to  
disconnect it from within MissingSync?  It's neater and easier to not  
have to remember to remove it from MissingSync and just be able to  
remove the device when I need it.
>

In the current release 2.5.1 and the 2.5.2 BETA the "Quit on  
Disconnect" only works if you disconnect by clicking on the red  
Disconnect button in the toolbar. I agree that it should disconnect  
and quit if you just pull the device from the cradle/cable. We'll  
look at fixing that in a future release."

So, maybe I'm not crazy and shouldn't have to trudge through support  
for something that isn't implemented yet.

The advice about the "Activity Monitor" was spot on.  I "Force Quit"  
the offending services and they started right up again when I needed  
them.
K.
