categories problem

My problem is that I can not use the "Multiple
select" option to view a list
of documents in more than one category at a time.  If I
check the box for
"Multiple select" and select either
"AND" or "OR", then "OK", the
resulting
screen of documents is empty.  The only way to see any
documents in a
category is to not use the "Multiple select"
option.

Is this a common problem or just with me?

Palm Zire 31, 
OS 5.2.8
Plucker v2007-04-03-cvs
Plucker Desktop 1.6.2.0

ALSO--------
Whenever I install a PDB file through Plucker something
doesn't work.  I
seem to be required to double click on a PDB file in
explorer which puts in
in my "Palm One Quick Install" bypassing the
ability to assign it to a
"CATEGORY".  Is there a way to install a PDB file
through Plucker and assign
it to a category?

Thanks everybody.  Merry Christmas

Where do the Plucker files come from?

I roll my own, with a little assistance from Rafael Fetzer's
PDA
Converter.  PDA Converter is a freeware utility that can
create
Plucker files, as well as zTXT files, using a variety of
sources for
input.  It's essentially a GUI offering a friendly interface
for
choosing the desired options, which constructs a command
line and
calls the Plucker parser in the background to create the
file.  PDA
Converter will let me assign a category when I create a
Plucker
document, as well as specify the PDB file name and the title
as
displayed in Plucker.  I use it to create Plucker files of
locally
stored HTML content.  I grab books in HTML format from
Project
Gutenberg and elsewhere, and Plucker is my main ebook
reader.  I have
about 3,100 Plucker documents and counting on my device.

I don't use hotsync to get them on my device.  I keep my
Plucker
library on an SD card, and I find it much easier to put the
files on
the card with a USB card reader once I've created them.  The
card
reader makes the card liook like a drive to Windows, and I
can use
standard Windows methods to place files on it.  I drop the
files into
the /Palm/Programs/Plucker directory (which is one of the
places where
Plucker looks for them.)  Pop the card out of the reader and
into the
device, invoke Plucker, do an Update Library operation, and
Voila!

I also don't use Quick Install.  I prefer another freeware
utility
called PInstall, from Envicon.de.  Pilot Install is a
replacement for
Quick Install and Install Tool, handy for occasions when you
just want
to put some files on the PDA.  PInstall doesn't use Hotsync
(and shuts
Hotsync Manager down it it's running, and re-starts it when
it's
finished.)  It doesn't care about Hotsync IDs -- it just
sends
whatever is dropped on it out the selected port to the
connected
device.  And it has handy features like automatically
converting text
files dropped on it to Palm "doc" files.
