From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: The use of the -d option for memos deletes the last memo when no number is specified. This is apt to occur because the -s switch is used for writing memos to a directory rather than -d, which does deletion. This is different than most command line tools, where -d deals with directories. Thus a user wanting to write the memos to the current directory, who makes the mistake of using the -d switch meaning directory instead of deletion, will have no memos written and the last memo on the Palm deleted. Regardless of this special case, the behaviour is at best undocumented, at worse a failure to check preconditions of switch input. Actually not a huge deal since, once known, it easy to avoid, but set to high priority because, especially for a new user, it involves unintentional, irrecoverable data loss of the last memo if that memo is newly entered on the Palm and not backed up elsewhere. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Write several memos on Palm, note number and title of last memo 2.Run this command (note the period): memos -d . 3.Check Palm memo lists, note last one missing Actual Results: The last Palm memo on the list is deleteted even though no memo number was specified. Expected Results: Either an error that no memo number was specificed (preferred) or the usual behaviour given other options without any memo deletion. Additional info: Using Palm V, OS 3.1.1, 1430K free memory on Palm
Could you please try to reproduce this problem with the devel version of pilot-link (pilot-link-0.11.8-16).
