1230979 2011-09-14 05:34:00 Any help on downloading photos from a camera chip. I select the photos I want to download, it then asks where I want to save them, I select say a folder named "Family" which already contains photos. The photos are downloaded to the "Family" folder ok but they are in a folder of their own named with the "Date". I then have to drag them out of the "Date" folder, and then drag them back into the "Family" folder, then delete the empty "Date" folder. Don't know if this is a Windows 7 issue or not, used to work ok in XP. jebby (4580)
1230980 2011-09-14 06:32:00 Are you using a specific software?
Could be under its settings...

Edit. You could also just browse the removable drive like G: or what ... and copy and paste into your ideal folder.

1230982 2011-09-14 09:46:00 Should be able to just copy and paste with Windows Explorer. No need to worry about settings in apps then. pctek (84)

+1

you can probably [copy|cut] and paste from camera directly, without the software

As you take more and more photographs, you will find that your filing system will increase in size.

I file my images under X Drive:DigitalPics/CanonEOS/year/month and day :)

Why not? I have used it for years and find it works well.

Because there are better (read simpler or easier) ways to move image files, but hey, each to his own.

1230987 2011-09-15 11:33:00 The Canon camera that I have, doesn't get recognised as a removable drive anyway ... you HAVE to use the Canon software.

Unless you bought yourself a memory card reader.

What?? :(

How have you connected your Canon to your PC? Via USB?

Your computer should recognise your camera as an external drive.

I simply remove my SDHC card from my Canon, place it in a card reader and plug it in to a USB port.

You could always go an buy one of those new fancy EyeFi cards - except they have a slow transfer rate :(
