Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2004 19:54:22 -0500 Hi Aman, This is how it used to work, and perhaps now it is different. If I have 3 folders in my root: folder 1 folder 2 folder3 I would have to make 3 MP3 files, one for each folder, and put them in the root with the folders: folder1.MP3 folder 2.MP3 folder 3.MP3 and all the folders would be read as I hovered over the folder. This used to work this way, but since the introduction of putting the dots in front of the dirnames, it does not work, even after I manage putting some dots in the right places.

Sorry, but I'm confused. Why would you be writing ren radio shows.mp3 ".radio shows.mp3" The file that should contain the name of the directory is .dirname.mp3, not .directory name.mp3. That is, if I had a folder called music, I wouldn't put .music.mp3 in the directory, but .dirname.mp3. Further, if I had a folder called audio books, I'd put .dirname.mp3 into that directory, too, not .audio books.mp3. May I ask why you have .radio shows.mp3 in the drive at all?

So I can now write: ren radio shows.mp3 ".radio shows.mp3" I thought I new about all there was to know about DOS.

If I may ask, what trouble are you having with the files? I, too, use Windows and DOS boxes, but am having no difficulty though I will admit that my attitude has been "create and forget". Could you give specifics of what you have trouble doing with them? I never have to rename the files, as I use Brian's script to get them in the first place. Even when I do have to rename them (when I made them with Dectalk Access 32), and when they contained spaces, I used quotes in the ren command and it worked fine. Again, I'm not saying the period should be kept, just that I'm not sure why removing it is necessary.

But my question is: Can we use the TBX extension, but drop the period in front? Thanks.

Especially since I typically have spaces in my folders & files. I prefer to not use dashes in my names, I prefer using files like radio shows.tbx, as even in a DOS box, it will have trouble with files like this with a period in front.
