  Select menu Lib Manager --> Create New Lib, you can select a new mdb file for the new lib, the file name will be the booklibrary's internal name.

  Select menu Lib Manager --> Create Personal Doc Lib, if you want tocreate a personal document library. The lib like personal documents path inyour disk, with include My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, My Working Docs,My Life Docs and My Books classes.

2.  Create NewClass

    After creating new lib, youcan create some classes, the menus Insert Book Primary Class  and Insert Book Sub Class can finish thejob.

3. Append Book to Library

  First, you need to make books prepared. A book means a file or a groupof files in the system of book library. It is a book class in lib and is a pathin OS file system when the book consists of many files. The name of book is itsfile name or path name. It is a unfurled book when the book consisted of files,each of the files is a chapter of the book and its name in lib is the file namein file system.

 After a new book library created, you can append book to the lib immediately,this job is very easy. Select the class you want books appended in first, thenGo to Path And File view area, and select the path your books located, rightclick it and select menu 'Export Selected To Lib's Selection', ok, all books inyour selected path will be append to the book class you selected in the booklibrary view area, job finished.

 The Second way to append book is to use Drag and Drop just like you useit in OS, you only need to drag the book file or files in File List View ordrag the book path in Path List View to Lib Tree View and drop it in the bookclass you want it located in.

 The menu ‘Export To Library As PrimaryClass’ in Path view area is to append selected path as a element class, whichis the first class in the book library.

 The menu ‘Export To Lib's Selection As A Link’ in Path view area is toappend the book, but not append its context to lib and just append its fullpath file name to lib.

 When a file of book is a link or web address (.urlfile), the book will be appended to lib also as a link or url.

  The file's extension of book will be inserted to lib as book type ordocument type.

You can deletethe old lib after making a copy.

8. List Contents

Appendix How to Build a NewBook Library

1.       Create a new path and some sub paths. Copyyour each book file to its sub path it belongs to. Rename the path and all subpaths to book class name and rename all files to their book names or chaptertitles if they are chapters of one book..

2.      Uncompressit to corresponding sub path if a file is a compressed book. The library hasinternal compressor, so you don’t need to import compressed books. Adjust theirnames after uncompressing them.

3.      You can import book files with extensions chm, exe to library directly if their sizes are small, Isuggest you decompile it to htmls or texts if it is abig files containing a lot of books, so that you canread them very conveniently later. You can adjust their digital number usingfile management tools if file names consist of numbers, for example, if you geta number of file name like chapter_1.txt, chapter_2.txt, …, chapter_12.txt, youwill get chapter_001.txt, chapter_002.txt, chapter_003.txt after adjusting filenames, the reason to do adjusting is for chapters of book sorted when themimported to library. You don’t need to rename files before importing them tolibrary if conditions above appear; you should rename them with library ‘BulkContext Process’ tools after importing, for example, you can extract theirtitles using ‘Extract Title’ if one of your books divided to 001.txt, 002.txt, …,135.txt. So that, you select extract mode ‘Line 1’ if the first line of file is its title, select ‘First2 lines’ if first 2 lines is its title. With these tools, your jobs will bevery easy and decreasing your work times.

4.      I suggest you to split book ifit is a single file and its size is more than 1M(only to txt file), for the reason of reading conveniently.To do this job, there is a tool named ‘Bulk Files Split’, you can split a groupof files under one assigned path. For example, you have a file superman.txt,you will get a sub path named superman and a group of files under path supermannamed superman_001.txt, superman_002.txt, ….

5.      Almost all kind of files can beimported to library, such as file with extension exe,pdf,mp3,jpg or doc, etc.can be imported to library, meanwhile, the software support shortcut and linkalso, it is, import its file name only. You need to node that not moving themto other path if you import them to library as shortcuts or links, otherwiseyou can’t find them when browse them with KCBL browser.

6.      The software also support webaddress importing. For example, you can import all of your Favorites tolibrary. You can explore them in KCBLbrowser directlywhen you click them in the browser.

7.      Before importing, please checkthe compress options. I suggest you using compression for text, MS office fileand file they have no internal compression, they can be compressed more than50%. But some files like jpgs, pdfs,some exe files and chms are not need to compress,because they have internal compress and you can subtract their size or only alittle of size can be subtract, Compressing them will slow down importing inmanager and loading in browser but no affections. For another reason, you cancompress them if you need to increase their security.

8.      You can import them to libraryin KCBL Manager after you make them OK. You can import them to a new library ora existed library. You need to create a library if you want to import them to anew library. The importing method is very simple, select book class in libraryframe, select path of books in path frame, Then right clicks the book path andselect importing mode in menu. Or, drag the book path to book class in libraryframe.

9.      you can process them with ‘BulkContext Process’ tools after importing them to library. These tools includingbulk rename title, bulk replace content, bulk delete null line, etc.

10.   At last, please check the books after finishing import. I suggestyou make a copy of them before importing. You can delete them after you checkthem OK. You can check them by browser, look their sub class’ size and so on.
