Also, it looks as though I might have to reimage it before long, so all in all I don't want to save any data there. Also, I don't want to rely on such crap software anyway. I'd rather find something similar that is written by someone who has some idea of how to write something that works properly. I wasn't suggesting you leave it on C: - I don't like storing and data on C: either; however, letting it store it there and then moving over once a day - or once an hour if you're really paranoid - shouldn't take that much space, while still letting you take several pictures in a row without having to restart the software for each one. -- J.

I know what you're suggesting, and if I absolutely have to do it that way, it probably could be done, though I'd have to keep an eye on the disk-space being used - using up all the available space on the system drive of a Windows computer will bring it quickly to its knees. But the software is terribly clunky anyway, I'm hoping for something better. |

I have a tablet, I do not have any of the other stuff, and cannot afford anything better, because as much money generated from this sale as possible has to go on the house. As it is the round trip to pick up the book, photograph it, and take it to the auction house will likely cost at least £200 in fuel even at LPG prices. There will be further fees for provenance, valuation, auction, etc. but if you're committed to doing it yourself with a tablet, just take the photos of each page using the tablet without involving the computer at all, then after everything has been copied, connect the tablet to the computer and copy all of the photos. No, I need to see each picture on a decent screen as soon as it is photographed or scanned, so I can be sure it's good enough before going on to the next. I would agree with all of that. Sorry, but I wouldn't. I put this question to the ng after much thought, and am not interested in solutions involving much further expenditure. If you *must* use a tablet, why not control it with a selfie-stick rather than trying to control it with a computer? Simply store all the images (or batches thereof) on the tablet, and then transfer them using a USB cable or FTP over WiFi. I had thought about a selfie-stick held by something like a chemistry lab retort stand, but I don't know where I'd borrow one of the latter. What I had in mind was was use just the selfie-stick's remote control to operate the tablet's camera via bluetooth. You can often buy them for peanuts at charity shops. If desired, you could immediately transfer each photo tom the PC via WiFi/FTP to examine it before taking the next picture. You control the FTP process from the PC end. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is seldom checked. |

I know what you mean, but if your system drive is so full that ten or twenty pictures will fill it completely, you need to take a serious look at what's filling it. I've just looked - although I have my C: partition set to 99.9G, that's only because I increased it when I fitted a "1T" (931G really of course) drive, to give some room for sloppy management. It's only 33.4G used. And I've been using 7 for some while now. If you've got nearly 64G on C:, you really need to know why! -- J. P. Gilliver.

BTW, one can add his own entries to Radiomaximus the program and I've succeeded a couple times by finding the Listen Live url on the web and copying to an entry in RadioMax.. but not every time. The author also has revised, longer lists of included stations (from all over the world) so by now WYPR might be in that list. So it give suggestions by country, genre, etc. Simple Radio the app seems to expect me to know what station I'm looking for, but maybe not. I just got the thing. |

It looks like he did just what I want using Win7 and an iphone but how much different can an iphone be from Android. And he only posted 7 months ago. I'm going to reread the url a few times. BTW, despite his win10 troubles, this may be one of the few places I've noticed where win10 is better than 7 because it seems to ahve all the bluetooth stuff in one place. (But I coudl be wrong. I generally hate anyt hing on a big blue page in win10, and they seem to load verrry slowly for no good reason.) |

Seems to me if you start at the beginning and take 1 or n pictures per page, when you later look at the pictures and see that one or more is bad, you can make a list of the bad ones and go back to those pages and reshoot them. Of course I'd check the first one right away, and recheck it until I got it right, and maybe the second. But after that, I don't see why each photo has to be checked right away. If page numbers are not sufficient, there is the picture before and the picture after. I'm sure they are unique so the one in the mdidle is the one that didn't come out right. |

This was under Hotspots. The phone is connected as a hotspot to the PC. I still haven't gotten connected with Bluetooth, but I did get closer this time. The PC offered me a 6 or 7 digit number to enter into t he phone. I don't know how to enter it in the phone but I clicked on something and got a screen with 3 methods to connect. I shoudl have written them down but the last was Connect Without a Code. and I clicked on that and it connected, and said it was downloading drivers. That ended with, The drivers for this device are not installed. (code 28) I'm working on that right now. But I still don't know how to play the output.

I once batch digitised over 100 vinyl LPs, having thought that I'd checked the first few to ensure that everything was working as it should, but later when I came to listen to them, I found there were flaws in the results, which I eventually nailed to the screensaver launching, *even though* I'd specifically checked that point before I began. It turned out that the first few had been lucky for some reason. I had to do the whole lot again. Then I had to wash them and do them again, so I digitised all 100+ of them three times in all. When doing a job like this, you need to keep a constant eye (or ear) on the quality of the result. |
