This chapter describes using the Desktop Manager to manage content and applications using the directory structure, synchro- nize personal information between organizer applications on eBookMan and organizer applications on your PC and synchro- nize new content and applications between your PC and your device. Managing Files in the Desktop Manager Use the Desktop Manager to store all content and applications for eBookMan. Some applications can be used without content. For example, you can use the calculator (Calculate) without content. Other applications require content. For example, the Franklin Reader requires eBooks formatted as Franklin Universal Binary (*fub) files. Before you use the Franklin Reader, you must download an eBook and move it to eBookMan. File Types eBookMan recognizes most PC files. However, not all file types can be used in your eBookMan device. For example, video clips such as *vgm can only be used with a program that runs *vgm files. Files that are not recognized will not be transferred to eBookMan. File extensions may be in lower- or upper-case characters. Content is any file that must be associated with an application to | For definitions of open it. Content files include, but are not limited to, the following file types, see See also: types: “Appendix D. htm or.html HyperText Markup Language file Glossary" on Le page 212. .Mmp3 Music file xt Text file fub Franklin Universal Binary; the file extension for Franklin Reader books .pre A file formatted for handheld devices .pdb A file formatted for handheld devices eBookMan* User’s Guide 39

Applications are self-contained programs that may require con- tent to run. Application files include the following types: .seb Secure eBookMan binary; most application and content files downloaded from the Franklin Web site use the *,seb file extension fxe Franklin executable Other file types are generated while using programs in eBookMan. For example, *bmark files are created when you add bookmarks in the Franklin Reader. These files are synchro- nized when you click 4%. Directory Structure By default, eBookMan content is stored in the C:\Program Files\Franklin Electronic Publishers\eBookMan Desktop ManagerData\Contents directory. Note: If you designate a different directory during download, the Data directory and its subdirectories are placed there. All files are downloaded and stored in the Contents folder. By default, the Data folder is also the place from which all files are synchronized (the sync folder). The Desktop Manager creates three folders under the sync folder: Contents, Audible, and Library. You can change the location of this folder by clicking File|Change Sync Folder and specifying a new folder location. Note that when you change the sync folder, the original directo- ries remain. Use this feature to set up multiple eBookMan devices from one PC. The Contents Folder Use the Contents folder to synchronize files between your PC and eBookMan by clicking 5. When you click &, the Desktop Manager compares the files on your eBookMan to files in the Contents folder of the Desktop Manager. If the files on your eBookMan are more recent, the Desktop Manager copies the more recent files from eBookMan to the Contents pane on the PC and then copies the more recent files from the Contents pane on the PC to your eBookMan.
Chapter 3. Managing & Synchronizing Content
If you save content files in other directories, you must move or copy the file or files to the Contents folder before synchroniza- tion. To copy a file to the Contents folder, locate the file in the Contents pane of the Desktop Manager and do one of the fol- lowing: + Right-click on the file name and select Copy to Contents Folder + Highlight the file name and click File|Copy to Contents Folder. Keep only files that you sync often in the Contents folder. Once files are synchronized, store them to the Library folder. The Library Folder Use the Library folder to store, organize, backup, and restore files after you sync them to eBookMan. You can store and organize files by moving them to the Library folder. To move a file to the Library folder, locate the file in the Contents pane of the Desktop Manager and do one of the fol- lowing: + Right-click on the file name and select Move to Library Folder + Highlight the file name and click File|Move to Library Folder. Note: When you move a file to the Library folder, the file no longer appears in the directory from which it was moved. You can organize files in the Library folder by creating subdirec- tories. Consult your Windows documentation for more informa- tion on creating and using folders. Always backup content files and applications by moving them to the Library folder after you synchronize. You also can keep a copy of all files in the Contents folder. If you lose data or an application becomes corrupt, you can restore the information to eBookMan from the Library folder. eBookMan® User’s Guide
See also: For more infor- mation on remov- ing files from eBookMan, see “Deleting Files” on page 83.
To restore files to eBookMan, follow these steps:
1. Move all files from the Library back to the Contents folder.
The Audible Folder The Desktop Manager uses the Audible folder to administer tasks from AudibleManager. Do not alter or delete the contents of this folder or its subdirectories. Note: Audible files are added to and deleted from eBookMan through AudibleManager only. Deleting Files To delete a file from eBookMan, you must remove the file from both the eBookMan device and the Desktop Manager.
1. From the Desktop Manager, locate the file in the Device
2. Right-click on the file you want to delete.
Click No to cancel the deletion.
4. Click Yes at the confirmation dialog box.
When you delete a file, a message "File has been deleted" appears. The file no longer exists on the eBookMan, but the file remains in the Desktop Manager. If you sync by clicking &, the file will be copied back to your eBookMan device. To avoid this, you must delete the file from the Contents pane in the same manner. Note: When you delete a file from the Contents pane, it is removed permanently from that location on your PC. If you mistakenly delete a file from the PC and the file remains on your eBookMan, you can restore the file to your PC by synchronizing.

Handwriting Natural handwriting is the recognition system that eBookMan uses to allow data entry through writing. It makes character input simple, accurate and fast by supporting more than one way to write most characters. AIl writing must be entered in the appropriate section of the Handwriting area, located at the cen- ter of the Control Pad.

The Views Franklin Reader uses five views to represent the content of an eBook: List, Text, Sub-text, Search, and Bookmark. List View The List view displays chapters, sections or headwords of an eBook. The content of a list varies. For example, a list in a novel may contain the titles of the chapters. A list in a dictionary may contain headwords, and a list in a medical reference may con- tain sections of drug types. The most common lists include the Outline and Index, which are similar to the Table of Contents and Index in a printed book. Other lists include, but are not limit- ed to, the Booklist and Bookmark List. +<ae
