Off the top of my head, the concept that comes to mind is a modal menu pick using a spike. http://www.rosevines.org/blog/2008/6...ange-text.html The way it would work would be that under a <file management> menu/pane one could select <tag>,<copy>,<move>,<delete>. File management would be a three step process: 1- Select tag mode 2- Navigating the file system, each long-pressed file or folder would get added to a list of files on an internal "spike" file. This list could span the entire file system. 3- When done building the transfer list, selecting <copy>,<move>,or <delete> would present the file list and prompt for confirmation before actually carrying out the batch operation. I know modal operation is not generally considered good UI design on PCs but, Linux or no Linux, ebook Readers aren't PCs. <shrug> Anyway, the spike concept is a pretty clean way to carry out repetitive functions, no? |

You're welcome.
Wish I could help more but I haven't coded in decades. |

In the past I have tried various OI snapshots, but as I mainly use FB2 and like the CoolReader implementation on BeBook, I have tended to use the BeBook firmware to also maintain the Mobi and ePub DRM capability - just in case. I was looking forward to a later version of OI to really try to move accross, but the file system reformat is something I am not sure I want to go through. You may find a lot of other users feeling the same way. If you want to ensure maximum flexibility for OI, perhaps you should stick with FAT, but I guess your development may be such that now you depend on features of the jffs2 system? Just a thought... |

Please only talk for yourself.
And wear out internal flash. I see you really care for the longevity of devices. |
