Barrie, I believe Anne is asking if volunteers who upload through File Management, rather than WinBMD, will be alerted that a new districts file is available and be able to fetch it manually. Anne mentioned situations when File Management has to be used, for example when WinBMD won't allow input of certain characters. But I have quite a few transcribers who take a batch of pages at a time and prefer to upload the lot at once through File Management, as normal practice. So yes, I'd think it would be a good idea to advertise when a new file is available. -- Nowl Archer Barrie wrote on Sun, 15 Feb 2009: >I think that giving the warning when the user next starts transcribing >is a very good idea.
