SmartUpdate
is Online Software Update Tool. It is used primary to trace the actual releases
of my own applications and update over the Internet, but can be also configured
to install or update any files on Palm platform.
WARNING: SmartUpdate can't update itself
because the program is locked during execution time! Please update it manually!
The example of the SmartUpdate input XML files:
 |
Application's main screen
The table shows the following details:
- Application icon;
- Application screen name;
- Local version or "n/a" if application is not installed;
- Version available for downloading from the server or "n/a" if the list
of application was not loaded yet;
|

 |

The table shows all installed applications with their actual versions.
Selected application can be updated, hidden, removed, beamed or launched. |

|
 |

It is possible to launch selected application from the SmartUpdate
tool. |

|
 |
Application Details dialog
The dialog shows the application details:

Deleting application
Any application can be deleted at any time to free the space. It deletes
only program itself, overlays and library files. All data files and
preferences will stay untouched. To delete the application completely, use
the standard PalmOS "Delete" feature.
This screenshot also shows the usage of
FontBucket fonts. |

Beaming applications
Using "Beam" dialog you can transfer the selected application with all
their overlays and databases (if any present) to another Palm device.
Dialog shows the list of files which belongs to application, their size
and checkbox which get checked if file was successfully transmitted. If the
installation of application is damaged (not all files are installed or they
are optional and was deleted later after installation), the file name gets
red and size is shown as "-". |
