Combined with the quirky folder / directory toggling makes using the device very frustrating. Is this feature inherited from Windows CE too? >I wonder if my issues with this device is because I am using it for serious purposes rather than fun and so need to work with a large number of documents.

I don't think it talks about the bug fixes and minor changes that were made, though, which would be nice to find. >I would like a little bit to be changed in the keysoft software when it comes to file handling, but in case it gives you perspective, many operating systems for small devices don't use file association in conjunction with a document centric approach as most personal computer operating systems do. An extra level of menu would be required because you never know wether something should be opened in the word processor or the book reader. There is also the limiting factor of the number of key combinations available. I think the company's reason for making and leaving it the way it is was simplicity, however. I can tell that some people need this simplicity, but I believe choices are always good. :-) On the other hand, you get used to the system with experience and learn how to get things one efficiently with the tools available. >Sarah Van Oosterwijck >Assistive Technology Trainer >http://home.earthlink.net/~netentity > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Graham Lewis > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 10:12 AM > Subject: RE: [Braillenote] come on humanware > Is there a list somewhere of the improvements to come with version 7? Hopefully this will include file association with applications - how hard can that be? and some rationalisation of the folder/directory views. > I am new to the BrailleNote family and to Keysoft and I have been trying to grit my teeth about the design of the software but I have to say hardware is good but software is pretty bad for something that has been around for a while as I understand it. > I am sure that many users will now reply to say that they have no problems with the way it all hangs together and I am sure you can get used to anythi8ng in time like learning to walk on my hands but I would rather walk on my feet like everybody else. > Graham > Graham Lewis > Centre for Academic Practice > University of Warwick > University House > Kirby Corner Road > Coventry CV4 8UW > UK > Tel.: (+44) (0) 24 765 72737 > Mobile: 07733450022 > Fax.: (+44) (0) 24 765 727326 > http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/cap/about/staff/lewis/ > http://innovations.warwick.ac.uk/innovations/ > http://cap.warwick.ac.uk/tdf > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote > -- > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.1.375 / Virus Database: 267.14.19/231 - Release Date: 1/16/2006 >___ >To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit >http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote >___ >To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit >http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
