I've a small question. Duokan will treat all files with a format that it suports in the lowest folder as books, right? Is there a way to tell it to ignore certain folders?

I use the Kindle OS for Amazon books and Duokan OS for books in other formats and languages.

Natually, when I change screensavers I want to change them in both systems. For Duokan it's simple, just copy pictures to the "savers" folder. For the Kindle OS, I had to install jailbreak and screensaver's hack (kindle-ss-0.22.N).

Duokan, JB, and SS hack are all up and working fine. However, there's a little problem that troubles me.

I put new screensavers for Kindle OS in linkss\screensavers folder, they display nicely. But when I switch to Duokan system, Duokan recognizes all my new pictures in that folder, as well as the original portraits stored in the "backup" folder, as books. I had over 200 hundred new SS and each of them are showed as a book in Duokan book list and jamed it up.

I tried to go to settings and let Duokan use the Kindle OS screensavers(default Duokan is to use self defined SS, you can change that), whitch are now in linkss. I thought once Duokan draws screensavers from "linkss\screensavers" folder, it should know those puctures are not books. But no, those picture names were still on the book list.

At the end I have to reduce the number of SS for Kindle OS to less than five in order to clean up the Duokan booklist.

Is there a way out of the mess? I believe I'm not the only person that would use both systems...
