PB302: Is there a way to display file names?

guyanonymous · 07-21-2010, 10:59 PM

I'd like to display filenames instead of titles in my booklist (at least until series info can make it over). Is there a way to do this? I'm finding that for epubs, at least, the official book title is being displayed instead of the "book series - 03 - book title" that I've put as part of the file names.

Is this something that can be easily done in themes? A setting I missed? A hopeless goal?

It it buried but it's easy.

Go into the book list and click and hold on any title until the context menu comes
Tap the View menu choide
Tap "Show names as"
Select "file names"

All your books will display as their filenames then.

Thank you! I must have missed that one when searching the menus. Exactly what I needed....

I'm liking this device more and more.

If the name of the book is too long you can also choose "Fileinformation" on the contextmenu

I'd noticed that earlier, but it would be inconvenient to do that searching for book 17 out of 30 in a series, for example

The file-name display is what I was after. My next step is to modify the theme, if I can, to use a smaller font for the display of the name so that more shows at one time.
