Hi all, I meant to post this yesterday, but life got in the way. I have a strange problem with Voice Dream Reader: as per the subject line, I have discovered that I have multiple instances of the same folder name in my list of folders. I do not have duplicates of the actual files in the folders, and the "all items" list shows the right number of items in my library. I have around 15 folders, but in my folder list there are more than 200 items - at least, there were until I started to clean them up.
If I delete one of the duplicate folder labels, all the instances of that folder name are removed and the files in that folder are "moved" to the "no folder" list. I realize that these are not actual physical folders, but they are more like the labels used in Gmail, I assume. Having all these duplicate folder names is very inconvenient, as I discovered to my cost when I wanted to reorder my folders alphabetically: newly created folders are placed at the bottom of the list, and it is really tricky to move them all the way up from position 200 to, let's say, position 10 in the list. I think I should be able to straighten things out by making sure my "no folder" list is empty, deleting a folder, recreating it with the same name, selecting the contents of the "no folder" list and moving it into the folder I just created. However, I am really wondering whether anyone else has had a similar problem, and what I can do in future to prevent it from happening. A bit of background: I have iCloud Drive on my PC and I usually add items to my Voice Dream library by placing them in the Loader subfolder of the Reader folder in iCloud Drive. I also add items to my library using share sheets from other apps. I happen to have two iPhones, both using VDR and syncing with iCloud, and my gut feeling is that this could be part of the problem. I always try to avoid having Voice Dream open on both phones at the same time, but I cannot guarantee that this has never occurred inadvertently. I can open the Library folder in iCloud Drive on the PC, but I would hesitate to try to edit it without knowing exactly what I was doing, as I would really prefer not to lose files if I can help it. My library is not very large - only about 320 items, many of which are fairly small files - so I don't think that's the problem. I will contact Voice Dream Support about this, but I thought I'd ask on here as well, in case anyone has had a similar experience. I believe that these folder labels must have been proliferating for a while without me even realizing it, which I know sounds rather strange! It's easy enough for me to check how many folders I have by doing a three-finger single tap, but I just never thought to do it. It certainly explains why I could only ever find new folders by starting from the bottom of the list.
