Okay, thanks, Rob. I may try it again and allow it to sit for a really long time to verify that it really didn't just stop. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ROB MEREDITH Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 9:27 AM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: Book Port Transfer hangs with large HTML file Walt: Microsoft Word is used to send HTML files, so progress is not available. I suspect you just didn't wait long enough. Rob Meredith >>> WSmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 08/09/05 08:46AM >>> I'm running the latest betas of both the firmware and software. Last night, I was moving several books to a newly created folder on my BP. All but one were .txt files and these all were transferred without any hitches. The remaining file was an HTML file. The HTML file was over 3 meg in size and after I initiated the transfer, nothing whatever appeared to happen and the Cancel button had no effect. I had to open the Task Manager to stop the process. I brought the HTML file up in Internet Explorer on my PC and saved it as a .txt file and I had no problem whatever transferring this to the Book Port. I'm wondering if perhaps there was a lot of pre-processing taking place on this file (I don't move very many HTML files to the BP, so can't remember if the transfer software pre-processes HTML or not) and I just wasn't giving the program enough time to do its thing. If this was the case, I'd suggest that some kind of progress indicator with tones be incorporated so that others don't make the same mistake I did by thinking nothing was happening when, in fact, there was necessary activity taking place. I can send the HTML file to APH if that would be of any help. -- Walt Smith
