Hi Katie,
For my part, I love the BC-ready Bibles. I have already had dialogue with
Steve regarding allowing countries to provide copyrighted Bibles in this
fashion. If we could lock a Bible to a particular Book Courier's serial
number, that would be great, as it means, unlike the BibleCourier, which is
great for those who don't have a PC, we could have multiple Bibles on the
BC. I also like the ability of the Book Courier to read chapter and verse
numbers of the Bibles, by providing an alternate version of that Bible -
something the BibleCourier currently can't do.
MP3's, I have already said how I feel about transferring them being somewhat
cumbersome, but apart from that, navigation is, as you say, improved, and
seems to work well.
Bypassing the title dialogue is only of limited use so far. Let me explain.
We can bypass the title OK, but what we can't bypass in large audio/Daisy
files etc, as far as I know, is that annoying dialogue that comes up asking
if you want to put the entire file on, or a specified amount. Katie, may I
humbly suggest that there is some option that we can set up somewhere that
says "just go away and transfer it"? What I mean is, I want to be able to
say to my BC, get as much as you can on the card of all the files I throw at
you in a session. The fact that this dialogue comes up after the transfer
of each file, rather defeats the object of bypassing one dialogue, only to
be greeted with another. Off the top of my head, how's this for a
suggestion? You set the radio buttons in that dialogue to where you want
them, i.e. the entire file, or as much as you can get, or whatever setting
people prefer out of the three options, then have a check box that says
"don't ask me again". The down side to this idea is that there would
probably then be no way of accessing that dialogue again, so perhaps a
better way would be in options somewhere, to set it to your favourite
preference. I want essentially, to be able to transfer several files, and
just go away and leave it. Currently, I don't think you can do that. Or
can you?
I too, like the transfer user guided embedded, this is a good idea.
Generally, the BC though, is performing well for me. Perhaps after this
release, it is time to beef up the transfer tool?
All the best

Hi everyone,
The list has been pretty quiet for the past few days. I'd like to assume
that means that no one is running into any problems. So far, the only issue
we have besides the documentation changes is James' problem transferring
certain text files. I was able to reproduce that bug here and Steve is
working on it.
Here is the list of changes. If you all could add notes about which items
you've tested and what your findings are, I'd really appreciate it.
- 4GB card support
- Improved file navigation speed
- Multiple navigation levels for MP3 files -- I think at least one person
tested this and was happy.
- Current reading position maintained after transfers
- No end of file message for MP3 files when auto-advance is on
- Embedded Transfer Tool User Guide - I believe this one also received a
thumbs up
- Deleting the last file in a folder works properly now
- Go to page bug fixed
- BRF button in the Transfer Tool
- Ability to bypass the File Title dialog for multiple transfers
- File title displaying in the PC file window
- BookCourier-ready Bibles
- Multi-CD transfer error fixed (for DAISY files)
- Text filter enhancements
- Generated file names
- Slower transfer rates for 4GB cards
Thanks again for your help.
Katie
