Here here! I would love to have a file manager and word processor that worked more closely with each other.

Roll on the days when we can open a file whenever we see it in the File Manager . . .. I am sure HW are listening! <SMILE> -- Carol [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sarah Cranston Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 5:58 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Folders I work with a very deep file structure on my BrailleNote quite frequently. Once I got used to how it wants me to navigate, I became as comfortable moving from folder to folder and file to file as I am on my laptop or desktop PC. It's all a matter of getting used to it, for someone who is already comfortable in deep folder structures. Just my thoughts. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Graham Lewis Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 11:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Folders Dean, I am sure your user studies support your decisions here and I am new to working in this way but Microsoft could have said the same about sighted users. Sure we all lose files in subdirectories sometime but I would say the benifits of a deep directory tree outwieigh the occassional boobs. Of course I recognise that the VoiceNote is not a laptop and I am aware that I am tempted to think of it as a laptop and have large numbers of documents at my disposal at any time. Perhaps most users only deal with a few documents at any time and so can work with a flat dile structure. Anyway thanks for your reply.

However we are always open to suggestions and we are always investigating ways in which we can improve on existing functionality.

I had not realised tyhat the VoiceNote did not show the directory structure by default. It seems a really clunky way to navigate directories to me but I do understand how to do it now. This being able to see either folders or files seems unecesary to me. As all folders are preceded with a slash why not make files and folders visible at all lebels? I don't suppose there is a way to change this?
