blank Shadow tasks being made on Palm during hot sync.

[RWKeating]

Every time I Hotsync, a large number of blank tasks are being created on
my Palm with a creation date of 1/1/04. When I look at the desktop
version of Shadow I don't see them. Hotsync is set to sync the files.
If I delete the blank ones from the Palm, they come back on the next
Hotsync. This is only happening on 2 of the 5 Shadow lists I have on
the Palm and not to any on the memory card.

I vaguely recall something like this occuring years ago to
someone; perhaps theres an autolinking issue or somesuch. Which version?
Did this just suddenly start occuring, or were you futzing with installs
and upgrades?

Here's what happened. I got a new computer about a year ago and never
put Shadow desktop on it. I then decided recently to put the desktop
on. All the while I had been using Shadow on the Palm (couldn't do
without it :) I don't know when the blank tasks started to appear since
the filters I usually use wouldn't have showed them).

Sorry I don't have more information, but I didn't have time to
investigate/troubleshoot so I just told the Shadow conduit to do nothing
as a work around to the issue.

Jeff,

Last night my T3 crashed into an endless loop, requiring me to delete all data to get it back. Although eventually I do intend to restore those few apps that I have not yet moved completely to Windows, I do not plan to restore apps like Shadow that I now use exclusively on my UX. So I want to convert my license for Shadow to Windows-only so that I am not dependent on a hot sync to maintain my license.
So how do I do that?

Thanks,

oops, didn't answer everything.

I don't use any linking at all. The desktop version is whatever the
latest one is on the web page. The Palm version is 4.1.1.

Theres a new handheld version, so I'd move up to that. There
definately was something like you're describing, biut I don't recall it
happening later. Least I think it got all fixed :)

Thanks for the tip Jeff. I just updated the handheld, did a Hotsync and
go a bunch of blank tasks added again. I'll either have to experiment
and get you more details or just turn the hotsync off. It's too bad
since I had this working perfectly in the past. Oh well....
