I like picasa too - I haven't looked yet to see if 2 works better than 1. 1 was missing a lot of my pictures - even when I directed it to the specific folder!! you could re-name the pictures - even just put a dash after the ones that were the same. Or - drag them all into a new folder together - then they would automatically rename themselves with a 1, 2, 3 etc after them. Altho - sometimes even when I do that, it tells me the file already exists. Normally it just ads the munber after it though.

So what is the proper answer to the question of replace or skip? I would think skip as I don't want to overwrite the other picture but neither do I want to skip the new one I am trying to copy to CD. I could not find anything in the help section concerning this choice and just what it meant. I am using an Olympus camera, have an Epson Photo 825 that allows a media card. I copy from the media card in the printer to my hard drive then find the folder and copy to a CD. Oh, and I am using Picasa 2 and it immediately detects new pictures when I insert the media card into the printer and invites me to send them to Picasa. Pretty neat little program (Picasa 2) Joyce ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don" <dsw32952@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 8:26 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Quicken Backup-- CD Burning Software > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Joyce" <jmcclure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 2:52 PM > Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Quicken Backup-- CD Burning > Software > > > <snip> >> Once it seemed to work just fine.
