Agreed. It is frustrating to just happen to be browsing a drive with the
file manager's directory feature and want to see what the file contains.
It would be really great to open the file from there.

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

Yes, Sarah, I'm with you on this one; though I do think (in this
respect) that a number of folk have expressed a desire to have a better
file manager and structure and I have to agree that the present one is
"clunky". 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>

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.

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.

Hi Graham,
Humanware has made the default folder mode the way it is, to prevent
users
who do not understand the file and folder structure, creating a folder
within a folder or a file several layers down that they then can't find
at a
later date.
However we are always open to suggestions and we are always
investigating
ways in which we can improve on existing functionality.
Regards,
Dean Jackson

I understand this now. 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?
