I would probably try not to fell asleep while reading, or my TX would hit the floor at anytime.

I have it set to flush on power off it dbcache is less than 40%, but no auto off.
Additionally, I have created two myKBD macros,
Flush right away: flush on the press of a button regardless of dbcache state,
Flush & turn off: flush and send keycode for OFF

The app which is being called is FlushDA. I did experiment with some sort of scheduled flushing using 2PlayMe, but since I do not need either, I just left it alone. But I guess that would cover all possible uses.

I do use 2PlayMe to trigger a flush via power-off (basically 2PlayMe triggers the Palm to turn on then power-off at a scheduled time) after all my nightly backup and routines. Resco Backup also has a flush feature after it's daily backup is done, but I don't use it since I've got a few other scheduled tasks that need to occur afterwards. I have OffFlush set to only flush if <60% and only at power-off (not auto-off). I have found experimentally that Blazer requires a min of 54% of my 12.8MB cache in order to open quickly (that's why I set it to flush <60%).

All that said, since Pruss isn't even supporting OffFlush anymore - I'm not too optimistic that revisions and feature requests will be attended too. Of course, I could be totally wrong...

Now that I have actually played with OffFlush a little more, a question: Has anyone ever noticed if a Full Flush ever produces better results than a Fast Flush? Every time I have done a Fast Flush followed by a Full Flush, the results are unchanged by the Full Flush (at least according to the stats given by OffFlush).

On doing some code reading I see that there are basically two flush methods. A Full Flush uses both methods, a Fast Flush only uses the second. Also the DA always does only a Fast Flush.

I have not noticed a difference between the two, except in one instance. When my cache is very low a full flush *seems* to free a larger max chunk than a fast flush. I only noticed this when I was doing extensive testing of OF when Pruss was developing it.

i have a request... can somebody please make a FlushOFFda? I know we have the FlushDA, but i want a DA that Flushes and when finished to turn off the device. Is this possible?

I came with the idea because i was trying a pannel called "OffStroke" and selected the stroke to be from Home/launcher to screen. It was very useful because (i dont know why, but i think) the code is rather different from all those power off programs... It does as if one were pressing the power button, so Off Flush gets the activation to flush before powering off, with a stylus swipe... Now im considering getting SharkSwipeT3

Actually, I do something sort of like that -- my default idle timeout is set slightly lower than my flushes usually are... so the device automatically turns off after flushing

There is already a soft which can do it, as I have written before, it is called flushIt look for the specifications

but what i want is a stylus swipe... or a DA that flushes and then turns it off.

OffFlush does flush at power off, and you can set it only on power button.

The former might be done with one of those tools that allow defining apps for strokes/buttons and the like, the latter with a myKBD macro starting FlushDA and sending OFF keycode (I actually have it set up like this and put it on H4(long), which enables me to turn my palm off with a long press on H4 with flushing first).
You might have to create a startable app from FlushDA, since some of those startup-managers only handle apps, not DA´s. but this is no problem by using alex´ "RunDA", which does exactly that.

sharkswipe runs DAs. I have swipes from home to the right to flush (DA), and home to up to switch off, and also other DAs from Pruss like status bar hide and flip screen. But i want to combine and have a DA that flushes and then turns off OR a DA that turns off with the code from "offstroke" pannel... anyone willing to do this?

I've been using Offstroke for years. If you install FlushIT or OffFlush in conjunction with it, you will get exactly what you want, a stylus stroke that mimics the power button and therefore initiates one of the two flushing programs before going off. At least that's how it works on my TE2.

Church Punk

yes, thats where the idea came. but the problem i have is when the DIA is up with keyboard. I can not hit the 1 or 2 keys (q or w on normal keyboard) beacuse it turns off! i dont know why, i thought it was a problem with my digitizer, but with the new i have still gets the same odd response...

I see that many people are using OffFlush, but I have found another free utility that seems to do the same.
It is called FlushIt! and I found it here:
http://www.freewarepalm.com/utilities/flushit!.shtml

Could anyone tell me whether there is some difference between these two apps?
Which one is better? I am asking because i have been using FlushIt! for quite a long time now, but since I see that most people on this forum are using OffFlush, I just wanted to know what is the difference.
Thanks a lot!
