It creates a new folder wherever you happen to be on the BookPort, even =
inside another folder.

So does that create a new folder or transfer each file to the
currently pointed at book port folder?

Walt,
Here's how to send an entire folder to the BookPort:
First, go into the transfer tool and choose where you want the
folder to =3D
go. Highlight the folder in windows explorer. Press the
applications =3D
key. Go down to "send to" and press enter, then choose
"BookPort". The =3D
folder should transfer just fine.
HTH

This may already be possible, but if so, I can't figure out the
right =3D
way to
do it: how about the ability to copy an entire folder of material
=3D
directly
from the computer to the BP? Just last night, I was trying to
copy a =3D
folder
with a number of text files...I figured I'd just focus on the
folder and
press ALT+S for Send, but it didn't work. Should it have? If not,
is =3D
there a
way to do this now? If not, could it be considered?=3D20

Below are several suggestions for the future:
1. Here is a minor issue which pops up all of the time and might
be
able to be addressed for a future firmware release. Each time
the
Bookport is plugged into the USB port, the Bookport loses its
place.
When you unplug the Bookport, the user is placed on the first
file in
the root directory and must navigate back to the directory and
document
which he/she was reading before. I think it would be nice if
when the
Bookport was plugged into the USB port it made a record of the
user's
location, and placed the user back in the original location after
being
unplugged. Not a big deal, but it would be a bit nicer if this
could
happen.
2. How about a list of "recent documents" which would contain the
last several documents a user was reading? Sometimes I'll be
reading
several books, magazines, or other texts in parallel. These
items might
be in different folders, etc. It would be nice to be able to
navigate
to one of these documents quickly. This would also serve as a
reminder
of what documents one were in the middle of or what documents has
been
recently read. This is similar to the list of recently used
files which
often comes up under the File menu in most Windows programs.
This might
work along with the first suggestion (i.e., a way for the
bookport to go
back to where it was before being connected to the USB).
3. I would still really like to have the ability to move forward
and backward, place marks, etc. in recorded memos. Sometimes
these
memos might get long (i.e., when taking a phone message) and one
wants
to get quickly to one part of the message. It would be great if
these
memos could be treated just as the other files are in the system.
