Hi Kate,
I have a couple of times noticed files get scrambled, rather than
lost, while trying to quickly take notes.
I have assumed that it was because I accidentally made some
<space> chord--by leaving my thumb on the space at the start or
end of a word.
All the subsequent characters would then be taken as errors or
further commands or filenames.
Perhaps a similar thing happend to you.
I hadn't noticed straight away, because I had speech off, but I
realised that I couldn't hear the display jumping.
A few general thoughts--some more practical than others:-
I try to read the display a little more often nowadays, if
possible.
I never had the problem while noting during a week of lectures,
five lectures a day using a QT rather than BT.
I think the BN can be used with a separate QT keyboard.
With speech set to "on request" and the error volume, (or
whatever it is called), on one, you might get an extra clue that
this has occurred.
Regards,
Steve.

Subject: [Braillenote] Lost file in Braille Note MPower
Hello - I have just joined this list and have not checked the
archives so
my apologies if this is a topic that has been discussed.
Today when I was writing very quickly in a file that I created
and wrote in
during the last few days, I found myself out of the file and in
the keyword
menu. I could not find the file in the file list. This has
happened
before but I (fortunately) have only lost a file once. I check
the "none"
folder, the flash drive, the keysoft drive - I have all of my
information
on a compact flashcard but was unable to locate the file. I even
checked
for a possible abbreviated name.
One thing that I discovered and I don't know if it is at all
relevant was
that in the "none" folder on the keysoft drive were quite a
number of files
labeled temp01.rtf, temp02.rtf, etc., etc. Each was the same
file and it
was part of another file that I had on my CF card. There were
also quite a
number of other files with letters followed by a "dot" and
various
extensions. One of them was a file that was modified today about
an hour
after my lost file. I don't know where these files came from.
If anyone has any suggestions about how I might retrieve the lost
file or
how I could prevent it from happening in the first place, please
let me
know. It is pretty discouraging and I really don't want it to
happen
again! Incidentally, I don't use the B chord except when using
the block
commands menu so I know that that isn't the issue. I know that E
followed
by a space can cause a file to be closed so I try to be careful
although
today I was writing very quickly.
Thanks.
Kate
