Darren and list,

I'm a newbie to the group as well as Book Courier.

I too have pondered upon the usefulness of being able to use a card reader, taking advantage of its faster transfer speeds.

What would be the advantage of your option 2, because browsing to another folder on the hard drive wouldn't be adding material to BC or the flash card.

As a newbie, could anyone tell me if the developers of BC read these messages and take note of the suggestions the users make?

Andrew,

Hi All

I've been thinking for a while about an extra feature that could be added to the transfer tool which would speed up the transfer of large files.

As the majority of card readers work at USB 2, it makes far more sense to have some way of transferring files directly to the flash card through a card reader. Rather than transferring them to the BC at the slower USB 1 speed.

It would therefore be very useful to have an option which would allow you to choose the destination for your files. This could be one of three places.

1. Directly to the BC as normal.
2. Browse to a folder on your hard drive.
3. Browse to the flash card in a card reader.
