the companion software is utterly crap. Sorry to say that, but its true. The only time i use it ist, when i really need to move a file to a different location and dont want to loose bookmarks, scribbles or other meta data.

Other than that i use the irex tools to merge scribbles into pdf files. works nicely (on a mac though, havent tested that on a windows machine yet).

I personally wished, they had only used one db file per medium and used hash values to identify names in addition to storage position, so they could recover metadata on a moved file. They should get rid of the companion software and have all that functionality on the DR itself.
