Hi Don,
I've been using daisy books from BookShare for several years.
I have kept about 50 books in one folder and never had any problems
reading the one I want. Or, re-reading portions of it.
I don't doubt that there are occasionally common file names, but I
haven't run into them.
However, your suggestion is an excellent one. Since sub folders are
fairly easy to create, I will take that approach with the BrailleNote
from now on. I guess I was just being lazy.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,
Whenever you download a daisy book and for this context, a newspaper
or magazine can be considered a book, each one should be in it's own folder or
subfolder.
For example, you might ahave a folder called newspaper.
You could have unpacked the 13th newspaper into a subfolder called
oregonian 09-13. Then when you downloaded todays newspaper you would unpack
it into a subfolder called oregonian 09-22.
The reason is that daisy books are made up of several files and some
of them have common file names to all daisy books. So, if you
unpack one into a
folder already containing a daisy book, some files from the original
book will probably be overwritten by files from the new one.
When you finally want to delete a daisy book, just go into the book
reader and, in this case, go to your newspaper folder and then
select the book you want
to delete and delete it. The book and the subfolder it is in will
all be deleted in one delete command.
You can create the subfolder in the first place when you unpack the
book. when asked for a folder to unpack, simply say something like:
newspaper/oregonian 09-22 and you'll get the message that the
folder does not exist and will be asked if you want to create
it. Just answer yes, and your
newspaper will be unpacked there.
Now, when you scroll through yoour list of daisy books in newspaper
you should see the book named with the name you gave to the
subfolder. So, daisy
treats the subfolder as a book and you don't have to worry about it
from there.
I hope this makes sense as it can be a bit confusing at first.

Greetings,
I had down loaded the Oregonian newspaper last Wednesday, the
13th. I had kept it for one article to share with someone when we
could get together.
This morning, I down loaded today's Oregonian.
I unpacked it into my "newspaper" folder on my CF card.
I said no to delete the unpacked book which is in my downloads folder.
It said, "loading book."
When the book loaded, it was the Wednesday, September 13th issue and
it opened at the article I had left it at.
So, instead of loading the newspaper I had just unpacked, it seems to
have picked the first one in that folder. Plus, it remembered where
I had left off--but that wasn't what I wanted.
I quite easily opened the correct newspaper manually, but this seems
to be another wrinkle in the daisy function.
Just thought Mickey and others at Humanware would want to know.
