| 184712 | 2003-10-19 06:06:00 | Some times when I copy scanned photos with their names to disk I get correctly "scanned photos with their names">>> but other times I get the photo as a number with jpg.." This is a pill so what am I doing differently? | olldaddy76 (2539) | ||
| 184713 | 2003-10-19 06:13:00 | Not quite sure what you are saying here ... Are you saying that a picture with a filename of (say) "nicepictureofmycat.jpg" becomes "12345678.jpg" when copied to a disk? Or is it being converted to a short filename of "nicep~01.jpg" If you can give a before and after real name scenario it would help. |

| 184714 | 2003-10-19 08:53:00 | Sorry I was not so clear but ""nicepictureofmycat.jpg" becomes "12345678.jpg" I am doing something different as it is disks copied about a year ago and what I did I do not now know,,,,,except I have lots of ancestry photos and now haven't a clue who they are !!! ...unfortunately due to a disastrous computer crash I lost all......but now I have XP and am reveling in the new found O S....inspite of misgivings by many on Press F 1...but originally I was using 98SE but I doubt if that could have been the answer...... |

| 184715 | 2003-10-19 10:15:00 | No way of telling what you did so long ago, but the original names will be gone I fear. Try right-clicking on one, and selecting "properties" All extra info that exists on the file will be here, if there are no more clues, thats it. I am pleased you are enjoying XP. I too believe it to be very good, and would not willingly go back to any previous version. I do not share the views of those that claim 98 is better, and suggest that view is reflecting the older software they choose to use (some games most likely). I have 4 PCs running it here. |
