Dunno, haven't really sussed that one. I just know it's a problem with the
Bible when you want the whole Bible in its various books and those split
also into chapters within a folder. This makes a total of 11090 HTML files
in a folder (which is really my ideal) but it's unworkable. It can take 10
minutes or so to get a listing of these files, which is why I have had to
use a series of favorites (shortcut files) to accomplish what I want.
Whilst this is largely acceptable, I know for a fact that this is one of the
points where the PacMate does not fall over. (Oh, how I wish that my BN, so
good in every other way) just gave me this flexibility! I really don't
understand quite why not!)

How many files in a folder do you have to have before it starts getting
really annoying. I have a classic, so it might be different on mPowers.

I have a similar problem and have probably done it to death in the past!
I really long for the day when the number of files in a folder doesn't
hang up, or at the very least, hold up the system!

For a moment, let us leave the Daisy issue behind. I have a folder, and
since I work with individuals on technological subjects, I named this
folder "Rich Tech Records" I know, imagination is obviously not my
strong suit. However, here is the point of my narrative. I have a four
gig micro drive on which this folder resides. There are 704 files in
this folder. None of the files exceeds 40 kb. If I attempt to open
this folder with the Braillenote, it takes approximately 3 minutes. The
Pac Mate, on the other hand, opens and views the folder nearly
instantly.
The only way I was able to manage the folder on the Braillenote was to
split the contents into six folders.

Hi Mary Ellen,
I think there's two separate issues. One is that not all Bookshare
books are formatted 100% correctly, and the other is that Windows CE
4.2 doesn't cope well with very large numbers of files (I think it
starts getting iffy much above 1000). There aren't any problems with
the actual download as far as I know.
we'll have to go to a new operating system to fix the problem with
large numbers of files.
regards,
Andy.
