Code:
<text path="database/media/books/MyBook.epub" opened="true" contentID="long_string_of_characters"> I wouldn't try this method unless you have confidence in editing the xml file or are willing to suffer the consequence if you make an error. But, it worked for me on both my 900 and 950. I hope somebody develops a Mac equivalent too! (EDIT: For the original tool posted by goaspy). Last edited by Bookworm_Girl; 01-09-2011 at 11:37 AM.

Thank you very much, it has worked very well for me. And the column sorting is very useful for finding the books you want to order.

The file is on your ereader not computer... just find and use a text editor on your Mac to change (text editor not word processor unless happy changing file type)

eP, asked if the original tool could be used on a Mac. The creator responded that it was for Windows PC only and you needed .NET framework. Are you saying there is away to run the original tool on a Mac? |

Thanks for the tips, Bookworm_Girl! I did a batch find/replace to eliminate all of the "new" tags by searching for:
.epub"> and replacing with: .epub" opened="true"> Works great! |

Sure enough, the edit clarifies, wouldn't have answered with it there, was referring to main part dealing with cacheEXT.xml as you assumed.
Being really sneaky, I could say it'll run on a Mac (if Intel based) by using Boot Camp but I guess we're talking OS X so answer to original tool usage would be no... Quote:

Thank you goaspy, the tool is great! Now the home page shows the books I really want to have immediate access to instead of the ones I might or might not want them there.
