Hmmm. That might work. One complicating factor is folders-within-folders (for instance, consider someone who has such an unreasonably large number of books that they keep their books in separate folders according to author's first letter, and then for some authors also also split by series - so the whole path to a book might consist of "\Storage Card\Ebooks\H\Harrison, Harry\SSR\01 - The Stainless Steel Rat.epub"). So I'd potentially need a cascading list or tree structure of folder names.
Anyone fancy mocking-up a GUI design for that? Ideally one that uses only .NetCF2 components
Thanks for using Freda,
