Hi Eugenio
Perhaps with the explanations that have been written since my last post on
this subject, you have been able to understand about "None". For the sake
of thoroughness, let me give it another try, and then stay tuned for a
possible answer to your second question about unprotecting files.
When a storage card is purchased and has nothing on it, you have the option
of putting all your files on the card without any folders. This would mean
that all your files would be lumped together in one huge list. The problem
with this is that it takes longer to find the file you want and the BN
takes longer to bring up the list of all those file names. All the files
at this point would be in the root directory. (A directory is another name
for a folder). This would be like dumping all your papers into the drawer
of a file cabinet without sorting them in any way. Thankfully, the BN does
alphabetize them in the list it brings up. When the BN offers "None" and
you choose it, you will see all the files that are stored without being put
in a folder or dorectory. Perhaps it would be more clear if it said "Files
with no folder" instead of "None", but this would be far too long a phrase.
This is also where the first level of folders are created. On the
computer, these folders and files would all appear in a single list in the
list view of Windows Explorer. The BN, though, lets you view your folders
or it gives you the option "None" to view the files without folders.
For matters of sorting, we can create folders where we can put files that
are similar in some way. In my case, I have one called hymnal. All hymns
are placed there. Another is called bltns and all my church bulletins are
put there. That way, when I go looking for a file, it narrows my
choices. I like to use relatively short folder names that are meaningful
to me. My advice is to store all files in folders. However, you may get a
storage card with a file in the root directory. Then choose "None" to find
it.
Now for your second question:
You said that sometimes a file says it is protected and going to the file
manager and unprotecting it is not successful. My first thought is to ask
where the file is stored. If you have it on an SD card, for example, it is
possible to protect all the files on the card by pressing a little slider
on the edge of the card. If you hold the card so that the ridges along one
end are on the right side and facing away from you, you can use your
fingers to find the slider. It will be on the edge farthest away from you,
the edge that does not have the corner cut off. You can use a fingernail
to locate this little slider and slide it toward or away from the grooved
end of the card. One way protects it and one way unprotects it. I don't
have access to my BN right now to confirm which direction is which, but I
believe that sliding it away from the grooves protects all the files on the
card. The advantage to this is to keep yourself or anyone else from
accidently modifying or deleting any information stored on the entire card.

Hi Ann, Ali, Joleen, Joe, Kandi,
Ureka! I used the BrailleNote's prompt to erase "views and opinions" in
the folder manager in the subdirectory, where I've never been except
unknowingly by accident, and it disappeared. Now, I'm home
free. JOLEEN, should I get rid of the "none" root or folder or whatever
it is? I never had it explained the way you did but I'm still not clear
about it.
2 questions: Why, going through the book reader in the "none" I have 3
file; in the file manager I find 3 files; in the word processor I can
only access 2.
Question 2: Why, when trying to edit a document I'm told by the
BrailleNote that the document is protected; when I go to the file
manager it also tells me that the file is protected; I then press u and
it doesn't unprotect it.
Thank you again.
Eugenio
