POI Packages, How are they created?

 

I was wondering how the POI packages were created? When these packages are created are the multiple source files hidden from view in the regular POI database?

I know maintaining a database like this is quite the pain but it is a tad hard to browse. As an example if you go into the attractions folder on the first page there are 6 Colonial Willimsburg POI files there cluttering things up. I would think they could all be filed away into on of the package folders.

Thank you for the great site.

You are right.

I have the Willimsburg POI Package fixed. Thanks for letting me know.

The reason that I make POI Packages is so that the one subject only shows up once in the Alphabetical list and the categories list.

I think I need to add more details in a FAQ regarding this topic. I know that sometimes the file managers will re categorize their files when the publish an update. I have you guys so well trained to use the categories that it is backfiring on me;)

I may have to ask Jon to program a Category Lock for POI Package files.
