Do you use some tool or do you manually sort books into folders or do you just simply dump your books in one single directory?

[i3tech]

I place them as i download in proper directory, but its very difficult to follow always. I too look forward in eager to know if there is any tool that can do it !.

There are many ways you can list files:
step by step

1. List every CD or DVD or a Folder files in a text file. (filename = dvd name)
if you have 20 DVDs, you have to create 20 text files.
or create 10 text files, whatever is suitable for you.
2. create a HTML help file ( chm ) file with a web page.
this is going to be your home page in the CHM file.
3. add all the text files to the chm file (each text file with its own entry)
4. Compile it, and you have a database like file.

when you search for a specific file or a book (in the search box of the CHM file), just look for a distinctive string
and it will return the text file name, and I know which file is in which CD or DVD.

You can use a database like access or MySql or an xml file,
but i found the above to be the easeist.

i don't used tools for my ebooks

[markwaugh]

Managing a constantly growing ebook collection is quite a challenge. I manually create folders for each publisher and dump the ebooks into their respective folders. If there is a tool that can manage and organize ebook collection, like what mp3 players are doing for mp3 files nowadays, it would be great.

Okay, now that I got some time, I'll get back to my ebook auto-organizer. Will post any updates here...

Mine are all over the place. Tools needed maybe?

Well, my routine is simple. put them in folders chronologically as dvd1, dvd2 etc to backup. In each one sort in folders by topic: xml, java, web technologies (js, css, html & stuff), database-rdbms-sql, general (algorithms, patterns, code practices, functional stuff 2 learn). then index all stuff by dtsearch, pity it doesn't do with djvu scans

Well, what happened with 85 forum? No new releases long time
