[muglo] Re: InDesign problem

I do not have this InDesign program, but I can feel your pain, as I 
went through something similar with the OEM software that came with 
my Canon MP 510 Pixma.  It seemed that once I had put images in Easy 
Photo Print, the app kept referring back to them, as you mentioned.

Someone familiar with InDesign would be the better person to advise 
you, but perhaps my experience with this other program might prove 
helpful.

I believe this is how I solved the problem, although the details are 
a bit sketchy:

1.  I made sure my new images were stored in a different section of 
my computer.  For instance, the MP Navigator sub-folder, that Easy 
Photo Print takes images from, is in the Admin/Documents/Pictures 
folder.  I made sure the default to take images from was not in this 
Admin section.

2.  I stored my new images in a folder.  I found if the images were 
not in a folder, Easy Photo Print would not retrieve them.

3.  If I don't plan to use certain images again, I quit the 
application immediately afterwards.  When the message comes up saying 
to delete, I delete.

4.  There was also something I did in terms of selecting the new 
images in Easy Photo Print, and making sure I gave them a number, 
rather than just a zero, that also helped, but if you can't even get 
the new images in, you're not at that stage yet.

Hope this helps.
