Hello Don and all,
I have a folder called newspapers, and in it, I usually have all
of the newspapers that I have received from newsline for the
week, and I go in and delete them at the end of the week. I do
this, in case there is something I want to go back to during the
week and check on, and I have had no problems opening the
newspaper for a particular day, scrolling through the sections,
and picking out different articles to read.
Hth,
Robert Stigile

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.
