Automatically download to EXTERNAL sdcard

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Samsung Tab 3 and Samsung Note 3

Is there any way to automatically download to the EXTERNAL sdcard?  Android 
insists on calling its internal memory 'sdcard', which is misleading.  The 
external sdcard is actually known as /storage/sdcard1.

If you mean downloading from opds, then you can set download folder in settings.

No idea what opds is, so I guess I don't use it.  

I download wirelessly FROM MY DESKTOP MACHINE, which is what I use for 
downloading.  I can use ESFile Explorer to copy wirelessly from my /books 
subdirectory on my desktop machine to the /storage/sdcard1/books subdirectory 
on my tablet.  This is where I choose to keep my books.  On the external card, 
not the internal sdcard.

I can do this with ebookdroid by hand, but it involves opening the book, 
hitting the back arrow to exit, telling it to save and close, and THEN changing 
the location to save to the external SD card.  The default, in spite of having 
set the default download directory to /mnt/extSdCard (or /storage/sdcard1 on my 
phone), stubbornly remains /emulated/sdcard -- which is SOMEWHERE in the 
internal memory system of the Samsung Tab 2.

I would like the default subdirectory to remain /mnt/extSdCard (or whatever 
else I choose) so that I don't have to set it each time.  Is there some way to 
do this?

Ok. I think I understand. You want default folder where EBookDroid saves 
downloaded books to be configurable. Is it correct?

Implemented in next version as storing last used folder.

Super!  Do you know when that will be?

My use of ebookdroid is to flit among a number of books during the course of a 
day.  My habit is to use the 'back' button on the samsung rather than a 
software function to exit one book and select a new book.  I recently had a 
problem reading a 1600-page book that I copied over from a different e-reader.  
I was at page 334 on the other e-reader and wanted to resume reading page 334 
on the new reader.  I used the 'go to page' function of ebookdroid to get there 
and commence reading.  

After some time I wanted to switch to a different book and hit 'back' on the 
samsung, but instead of quitting the book it went back to page 1 and a second 
'back' hit left the book.  The bookmark was left at page 1.  I find that I can 
use the 'go to page' function and save that bookmark if I use the right menu 
and close the book, but I must always remember to do the 2-step close for that 
book. 

I then worked with the 'all settings' function on the left menu and found that 
I can disable the operation going back to page 1, but at the expense of 
disabling the 'back' function for footnote references and any of the 
highlighted options such as Chapter.  The highlighted functions are so valuable 
that I don't want to disable them.  

I ended up starting back at page 1 and then manually scrolling through 334 
pages, which is obviously painful.  Everything would be perfect if we could 
have an initial 'go to page' that didn't save the previous location in the 
stack.  Ebookdroid is so valuable (I love it and use it for several hours/day) 
that I can live with this, but it would be a lot slicker if I could start a 
book where I want.

In the All Settings/Navigation and history there are set of settings, where you 
can set up what jumps should be saved in the history.

Also, you can open book on page 1, use goto page 334, use Close Book and after 
that do not use goto page.
