How can I automate SpoilerSync and Plucker?
See this document thanks to Chris Shepherd. The document also covers automating Plucker from GSAK.

How can I automate SpoilerSync using the command line?
SpoilerSync supports -a as a command line option causing it to run automatically and then close.

Does SpoilerSync work with GpxSonar?
Yes it's fully integrated with GpxSonar.

Assuming you are using the latest version of GpxSonar...
Specify the spoiler folder on your PDA in the ‘File\App Config’ menu, GpxSonar will add a ‘Show Spoiler Pics’ link to any cache page which has spoiler pictures associated with it.

What is the purpose of the "Force waypoint names to GC prefix when processing GPX files" option?
This document kindly supplied by Moote explains this.

How can I use different configs with SpoilerSync ?
All of the settings that SpoilerSync uses are stored in the spoilersync.ini file.
You can pass different .ini files on the command line and spoilersync will use these for it's settings.
for example.
spoilersync.exe c:\home.ini
spoilersync.exe c:\away.ini
spoilersync.exe trip3.ini

Using SpoilerSync with Geosphere
To load the spoiler images into Geosphere the steps are:
1) Compress the Spoiler Sync images folder into a zip file.
2) Load the zip file into Geosphere using the same technique you use to download GPX files.

The recommended settings are: -
Shrink images to a height of 367 and a width of 320 (this is the best viewing size).
Uncheck the "Create web page for spoilers..." option (no need to import both jpeg and html files containing the same images).

Notes for win7starter running on NOKIA booklet 3G
I just installed my favorite Spoilersoftware spoilersync/gpsadd combination on my brandnew netbook “NOKIA booklet 3G” (running win7starter) and had all of the missing ocx errors on your homepage plus one that asks for “comdlg32.ocx”.
I used the following link t get the file:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/utils/Comdlg32.zip
Now it works.
Maybe some other users encounter the same problem and you could add the links for them?
Greetings, Mark

Some things to try if SpoilerSync isn't working (not in any particular order):-
1. Clear the output folder of all files and re-run.
2. Have Internet Explorer (not Firefox or other) open on GC website when running.
3. Clear the temporary internet pages from Internet Explorer.
4. If you have a firewall temporarily disable it.
5. Try Spoiler Sync on a different PC and if possible a different version of Windows.
6. Try on a PC with a different internet connection.
7. When you run the installation .exe right-click and choose "Run as administrator"
