Hacking SunriseXP to auto-sync documents created on another PC

I create docs on a server overnight so they are ready when I come in morning. I was clicking way to many times to get these onto my Palm. Here is my hack:
1)Install SunriseXP and also install the Hotsync conduit. Hotsync to install the SunriseXP stub.
2)If you want to sync to your memory card then you need to manually Pluck a document in SunriseXP to your card so the correct folders are created.
3)Find the SunriseXP folder in your PalmOne directory which should have a listing like:
C:\Program Files\palmOne\Andrew\SunriseXP\ram {sync to RAM}
C:\Program Files\palmOne\Andrew\SunriseXP\vfs0 {sync to card}
4)Create a batch file which looks like this to move the docs from the server to the SunriseXP card sync location:
move /Y Z:\server\*.pdb "c:\Program Files\palmOne\Andrew\SunriseXP\vfs0"
5)I normally put this in my startup folder so it happen as soon as I login.
5)Hotsync and any docs that are in RAM or vfs0 folders will get Hotsynced.

I had tried previously to do this to "C:\Program Files\palmOne\Andrew\CardInst" but you need to set a registry flag and also if the doc is a few MBs in size then it times out. All way too complex.

Laurens, if you are reading this I could eliminate the batch step if there was an extra option in the Hotsync conduit to watch an additional folder (say the server folder) for new docs. I know that 99% of enhancements requests are denied so I know this probably won't be implemented.

No, this won't be implemented. However, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some "generic" conduit for transferring whatever PDBs or files you have to the Palm.
