Hi Andrew

The reason for option two was that you may not want to copy files to a flash card using your card reader right at that moment. Instead you may wish to build up the contents of a folder on your hard drive and then copy the files across to the flash card in one go at a later date.

Now because those files in the folder on your hard drive were put there through the transfer tool. All the associated navigation files etc that the transfer tool creates will also be in the corresponding folder or folders.

It would then be a simple matter of just copying the required folders onto a flash card through your card reader.

The whole point is that it's initially done through the transfer tool. So that the associated navigation files etc are generated at the same time.

Hope that makes sense?

Darren.

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.
