Yes, and I've tried with Jaws, WindowEyes and NVDA, on three different
computers. It doesn't actually hang, it just seems to be doing some
processing that takes forever. Go get yourself coffee and come back, and it
will take another keystroke.
The problem is that when you navigate to a new entry with arrow keys, it
appears frozen like a snow cone again.
I think what is happening is this: it's not looking at filenames. It is
opening each file to find out what book title that file refers to. It is
using some kind of poor algorithm to do this whose performance suffers when
there are a large number of files and directories to traverse in the tree. I
know how to program and I am sure it would take me some effort to figure out
a way to do this quickly.

Subject: [bookcourier] Transfer Tool Problem
I have been using my book courier since I purchased it in 2005, andlately I
have been having some issues with the transfer tool. In folders where I have
more than about 90 books, the transfer tool completely hangs when I try to
transfer books or look at the books already in the folder. Also, it seems as
though operations in the transfer tool itself are very slow. This did not
happen when I first got the book courier and only started to happen a few
months ago. Has this happened to anyone else on this list? If so, how did
you fix it? Any help would be sincerely appreciated!
Regards,
Megan
