Aluratek Libre Pro- hide folders?

chrisplushado · 07-21-2012, 01:39 AM

I decided that I wanted ebooks on the internal memory, and images and music on the SD card, since they tend to be larger files. The problem is that whenever I go to "eBooks" from the menu, I see these two folders at the top, and they will NEVER have ebooks in them.

is there a way to hide them?

And they hurt your eyes? They upset your world view? You are deeply offended by their hidden racial implications?

You can reduce the size of the image in the free GIMP2 program in many ways. You
could scale it, you could reduce the DPI, you could reduce the color depth, ect...
This would be very helpful for the image you added to your earlier post.

Luck;

they bother me because If I ever get enough eBooks for 2 pages, the folders will take up the space where two eBooks could be. and I will NEVER put eBooks in those folders.

It is true that the folders will take up a space in menu structure, but only
one space each.

For example my jetBook Lite requires that there be a "Books" folder and a
"Pictures" in the root of the internal menory. I also maintain empty "Books"
and "Pictures" folders on my SD cards. (The menu system combines the
matching folders in the internal memory and SD file structure, so only one
of each appears in the menu.)

I currently have 6751 files in 50 folders on my SD card (actually, the files
are in 48 folders as the "Books" folder and the "Pictures" folders are empty).

The main menu for eBooks is called "eBooks" and contains five pages of
folders and a page of uncatagorized ebooks. Now each folder can have a
number of pages in its menu, for instance my "Mysteries" folder has 153
menu pages. My "Fantasy" folder only has 28 menu pages.

While two of my 50 folders may be "wasted", I can easily ignore that.
