I am pretty sure the BP cannot do this. It seems to name notes when you save them once, but after that it will not touch any info unless it is the text of the note. Use a computer to rename the files. If I remember correctly, there is a ._aa file with each note and maybe other files as well. Be sure to rename them all exactly the same.


Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [bookport] Changing note titles

Hi list!

Unless I've missed it, I don't think the bookport manual covers
this, so I'm
asking here.

I know that note titles are drived from the first line of text.
Unfortunately, even though I make notes fairly often, I rarely
start new
ones. That is why I forgot to consider that when I started a new
one
yesterday. The bookport did exactly what it should, in that it
used the
first line I typed as the note title. Unfortunately, that isn't
what I want
for a note title. I have edited this and made the first line what
I prefer
the title to be but the bookport appears not to notice this. If I
navigate
to that note now, and press the edit note command, I go into the
file fine,
but nothing I know can pursuade the note's title to change from
the original
first line, even though that line is now actually the fourth line
of the
file. Is there any way of fixing this natively on the unit or do
I need to
fix it in Windows Explorer or something? It's not a show stopper,
but would
be nice if I can easily correct such a stupid blunder.

Cheers,
Dave
