Jerry:
Actually, it is easily done if you can handle the command line. Simplly
use a syntax like:
bp c:\folder /q
The /q command line switch makes Book Port Transfer stop complaining
about files it can't handle.

The bottom line seems to be that moving entire folders to the book
port
using the Book Port Transfer program will not be possible, when the
folders
contain files having specialized formats such as daisy files, etc.
I might try writing a shell script that would employ the Book Port
Transfer
command line to 1. create a directory on the Book Port and 2. transfer
the
files to that specified directory., and 3. repeat the process for the
next
directory and set of files.

The problem is that a Daisy book is actually made up of many seporate
files,
and Book Port only knows about the .opf one.

Luann,
With Windows Explorer set to display hidden folders, there are none.
There
was a file with a .css extension, which I deleted. Still no luck in
sending
the directory to the Bookport.
I continue to wonder about this error message:
File filter not found for this file type
All of the files in this folder are from Bookshare. I have had no
problem
transferring the files, in the directory, to the Book Port. The
problem
seems to be with the transfer of the directory, or folder, itself.
Hmmm.
Sincerely,
Jerry Weinger

Maybe there are files in the folder, even hiden ones, that the Book
Port
doesn't support. Otherwise I don't know why that would happen, since
I've
transfored folders successfully this way myself.
