changes to editing procedure
Hello, I have recently updated the firmware on my Pocket. It now appears that I need to do more button pushes to get into the edit mode. I press the menu, and then the edit , then I am told that I am about to edit the title-am I sure? Having confirmed, it seems that I then have to go back to the menu and select edit once again whereupon I can now choose my editing item. When I have finished editing I am required to exit the editing mode through the sub-menu, failure to exit the editing mode through the Prescribed route slows the closing down procedure because the device needs to close the edit title feature by default. Hope that makes sense. I find this more long winded than how it was previously. Has anyone else found this a hindrance? Steve
Was there a new update to the firm wear? If so when did it come out?

Yes, I agree this has added more steps than I care to go through for editing. As well, the upgrade from several months ago changed other things like requiring the main power to be plugged in in order to use the PlexTalk Pocket as a mass storage drive. I would specifically like to see both of these features rolled back to earlier simpler states. Jeff At 12:16 PM 10/6/2016, you wrote:

The editing feature upgrade is also the same on the linear pocket John the Soul Man Flynn Stepney Green London United Kingdom -----Original Message----- From: Plextalk [mailto:plextalk-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Mary & Jeff Samco Sent: 07 October 2016 06:49 To: Plextalk User Discussion List <plextalk@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Plextalk] changes to editing procedure Yes, I agree this has added more steps than I care to go through for editing.

I am just speculating but no text editing was previously possible from the edit menu. Adding this feature to the existing choices made necessary the generation of a new interface that permits you to initiate and close text entry. This is so different from the existing editing features that it was probably easier to add it as a separate pass rather than totally rewrite the existing code.
