Hi drummer!
I saw your post -- I don't have experience to answer the questions with.  I 
just 
didn't want you to think you were being ignored.  <G>

|  I sent this out once before and didn't get much of a response to

|  WinXP picture handling, because I would like to send a report to
|  MS if they do?
|
|  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
|
|
|  There are picture handling bugs in WinXP.
|
|  One is when it comes to renaming a .jpg file?
|
|  In Word, all one needs do is just rename the file in the "File
|  Name" window slot, and it can be automatically saved as .doc or
|  .txt, depending on what?s in the "Save as Type" slot.
|
|  But when WinXP is saving pictures, one cannot simply rename the
|  file and expect the "Save as Type" slot to automatically apply the
|  .jpg extension, even if it is preset in the slot! The file name
|  must be completely retyped to include a .jpg extension again, or
|  else it will be saved as an invalid file type with no extension
|  applied!
|
|  This is definitely not the way Win98 works, and it?s certainly not
|  anywhere near to being considered an improvement (IMO) in WinXP!!
|
|
|  The other bug occurs when saving multiple pictures in one folder.
|  Click, you save a picture. Click, you save another one, and then
|  perhaps another, and another, (and all as the same file type). But
|  where are they? WinXP does not show the previous picture files
|  saved in a folder as you are saving them. One must close the
|  saving folder and completely reopen it again to see all of the
|  picture files saved within!
|
|
|  Again, Win98 does not operate in this inferior fashion, and one
|  would almost have to consider this an operating bug!
|
|
|  And then thirdly, WinXP cannot be depended upon to save .gif
|  images. Sometimes it does, but many times it just saves a file
|  name on a blank screen?
|
|  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
|
|
|  And as far as sending this "bugs" report to MS goes, does anyone
|  on this list have a good address for that?
|
|  Thanks,
|
|  drummer
