Camera Wizard - Problem with image file names

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Try some of the third-party photo album programs, such as
IRFANVIEW or Adobe Photoshop Album to better manage you
naming issue. Both are free.

| The file names that are given to the images downloaded
from my camera are
| difficult to manage, but I am probably not using the
wizard in the best way.
|
| I would like file names to be unique in the MAIN Folder
hierarchy. The
| folder system I use is -:
|
| Main Folder
| 001
| Sub folder a
| Sub folder b
| 002
| Sub folder c
| Sub folder d
| etc
|
| Currently I select say Sub folder a, set the group name to
001 and select
| the required images. Although the names created are unique
in the sub folder
| , they are not usually unique in 001 or 002 etc.
|
| The name is not really important but uniquness is.
|
| I half suspect that the Digiclip.dcz file might be used to
provide the next
| unique name. What is it for? I wondered if I use a dump
folder to download
| the images and then move them from there to the required
folder, whether
| even though the dump would be empty each time a new set of
images are
| downloaded, the next unique file name might be maintained?
