Welcome Melissa.You will find this ragmuffin crew are like a bunch of elves busily scanning and validating books, while they argue about the cost of a three cent stamp.
Anyone remember those? Welcome again. Any questions, just ask. Bob----- Original Message ----- From: "siss52" <siss52@xxxxxxxxxxx>

But after I unpack, I see the file name, and I can tab past save, cancel, and then I see desktop, but if I press the down arrow key I can see other choices of where to put the file. Use the down and up arrows to choose where you want the file. Then shift+tab back to save and it will go there. I don't mind if it wants to unpack my file first.

If you choose save you are asked for your password and a location to save. You must then unpack the book from there. If you choose open you are asked for your password and then for the folder where you wish to store the book. . You are asked if you want to open the book now and I say no. you are then asked if you want to unpack another book and again I say no. This is the method I prefer since I can save as mystery, non fiction, horror, etc. Using this method the book is automatically unpacked and stored in the folder you want.

What speech program do you use? If you are using a notetaker then that might be the problem. Maybe someone else using the same notetaker could try it and see what results they get.

I just downloaded Sophie's Choice, both the Daisy and the BRF. I downloaded from the page where you just see the result of the search. That worked fine, meaning that it didn't unpack the book. I then tried downloading both Daisy and BRF after choosing the link to "Sophie's Choice" which takes you to the page where you can see the synopsis, and that also worked as it used to, i.e., it didn't unpack the book for me. I give up; I surrender! <smile>.

I had the same thing happen last week when I downloaded a book for validation. I was used to looking for the "Zip" file and unzipping it and thought I had lost my download when I couldn't find it. A search revealed that it had been magically unzipped for me. Until I saw your note, I thought it might have been something I did without realizing it. Has anyone else had this experience? Has Bookshare changed its behavior and is now unpacking/unzipping the books for us? I'm not complaining, just trying to understand. Thanks in advance for any insights.

Lately it wants to unpack right away and I'm not getting a choice as to what to do with it. I thought I used to be able to download the book and then unpack it. Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong? Thanks. Cindy Lou Cindy Lou Ray. Each day is a new adventure.
