Pete: Daisy books will never respect the Use File Name as Title setting for various reasons. Imagine that you are sending 2 Daisy 2.02 books, both of which must be called ncc.html per the specifications. Then, when you sent the second book, it would overwrite the first one. >>> ptorpey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 05/06/05 09:45AM >>> Rob, I believe the experiment you describe below is based on the transfer mode where the name of the transferred file is based on the first line within the file/book or the content within the file being transferred. When I transfer books, however, I always have the "use file name as title" box checked in the Options menu in Bookport Transfer. This is why I say that, for example, BRF and DAISY books are not being treated the same. More explicitly: 1. If I have a braille book whose file name is test_book.brf which I want to transfer: a. With the BP transfer program, in the list of books to be transferred, the book appears as its file name, i.e., test_book (without the BRF extension). b. After I transfer the book, it appears in the Bookport folder as test_book (no extension), as it should. 2. If I have a DAISY book from bookshare whose file name is test_book.OPH (I forgot the exact extension): a. Within the BP Transfer program, the book shows up in the list of books to transfer as test_book (no extension) b. After transfer, the book appears on the Bookport with the cryptic name book_12324_1_ (or some such numbers, and no extension). So, what I am saying is that I don't understand why, when choosing the option to use the file name as title, one format does this and the other appears not to. Am I missing something here? -- Pete Date: Thu, 05 May 2005 08:28:13 -0400 From: "ROB MEREDITH" <rmeredith@xxxxxxx> Subject: [bookport] Re: Displayed name of DAISY Books Pete: Not quite! Other books are treated the same way. The difference is the file names probably give a better clue as to their content. To illustrate this, create a file called test.txt, and put "Around the clock" as the first line. >>> ptorpey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 05/04/05 08:33PM >>> Rob, Thanks for this hint - it does work. However, I would rather see the title of the book truncated rather than the cryptic name which currently displays for DAISY books. Having only the cryptic name appear as default makes it difficult to navigate quickly down the list of books within a folder to see which books are in the folder. If one has to stop on each book and bring up the properties dialog box, telling which books are in the folder can be a much slower process. Also, other formats seem to transfer and display the title of the book (BRF, TXT, etc.) - Why shouldn't DAISY act the same? I would like to see the process for of transferring and naming DAISY books be consistent with transferring and naming other formats. -- Pete
