# 2.2. Main Window

The main window in KPilot just contains the KPilot logo. You can switch to one of the builtin applications by using the drop-down list on the toolbar.

The Main Window

The main window contains the application menu, which we will deal with here.

File->Settings

  Brings up the configuration dialog for KPilot.

File->HotSync

  Starts a HotSync. You should press the HotSync button on your PalmPilot™'s cradle. Note: it is not possible to cancel a HotSync once the request has been made.

File->FastSync

  (not available with all installations) Starts a FastSync in the same way that a HotSync is started.

File->Backup

  Performs a full backup of your PalmPilot™. This is like a HotSync, but can take several minutes.

File->Restore

  This copies all the data on your PC to your PalmPilot™, replacing whatever data was there. Use this if your PalmPilot™ suffers some catastrophe (or is replaced by a new one). Doing a restore will erase all data on the PalmPilot™ before restoring the information from your PC!

File->Quit

  Quits KPilot, closing the main window and stopping the daemon if that configuration option is enabled.

Conduits->External

  Configures the external conduits. This is explained below.

Conduits:

  The remainder of the Conduits menu lists the builtin applications, just like the drop-down box in the toolbar does. Select one of these applications to switch to it.
