New Plucker Desktop package released

A new Plucker Desktop package is available for Microsoft Windows.

It is available in the downloads section of the plkr.org website.

The three main parts included are:

1. A conduit that allows the ability to update any due channels when hit the HotSync button, and install them to the device. Enable/disable this by Preferences > Autoupdate and take the newly unhidden 4th radiobutton. This is from Bill Nalen and works very slick in testing.
2. Sync output directly to card from plucker-desktop (This was just built based from what users described as happening, I don't know if it will work). There is multiple destinations as before, but a new column for RAM vs. card. Built to use the feature also for POSIX and pilot-link when sync-to-card code is contributed to pilot-link.
3. The case of:
   • - MS Windows
   • - in commandline mode
   • - using progress dialog
   • - set to automatically close when done
   • now properly terminates the application.

Also when there is no channels due, it just ends silently [instead of popping a dialog that says no channels are due], as per the documentation.
