[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Copy from 8125 to MAC Desktop

[Bill Corley]

Hi Missing Sync:

A few weeks ago another user and myself reported a problem while copying
from and to the Cingular 8125.  We both had an error message, on
failure...and the copy was always corrupted, damaging the original, a
disaster for me when attempting to transfer a long Word document.

As I mentioned then, getting data (particularly Word files) from and to the
8125 was one of main uses I hoped to have enabled with the new version of
Missing Sync, and so, expressed my disappointment.  One of your developers
or tech people indicated you would be working on the problem.  I have since,
yesterday or the day before, solved the problem--at least from my point of
view.

Here's the deal:

Drag and Drop, from or to the device is still broken.  But--TA-DAH--Copy and
Paste (Command + C, Command + V) works flawlessly.  IOW I can get my files
back and forth, easily, without risking damaging the data.  Drag and Drop
would be nice but I have what I want...without needing to buy a card reader
or other intermediate device.  I should add that Copy/Paste was done over
Bluetooth...and although I have not tried it, I bet it will work also over
the generally less problematic USB.

Note also, there are still some files that do not Copy/Paste without error
but there is no apparent rhyme or reason for this:  some *.dot files, a
*.pwl file, an occasional *.jpg file; and I'd guess others but haven't
checked *all* file types, or files on the device.  As long as Word *.doc
files are transferable I'm a happy camper.:)  Hope information this leads to
a complete solution.
