Dear Pat
Your problem with numbering lies with the computer. Being "digital" it is
rather thick and can only count up to one in binary. Either 0 or 1 for off and
on. When the computer sees your files numbered in base ten in the first instant
it will keep your files in the order they are saved but on the second saving it
will re-order them as 1, 10, 11, 2, 3 etc. A simple way round this is to prefix
your file names with a zero ie: 01, 02, 03 etc. or if you are likely to go
beyond 100 use two zero's etc.
I hope that helps - don't blame Barbara !

Subject: [u3aavcuss] Copying Photos to CD
I have been scanning my old slides on to the computer and then putting them in
some sort of order
and numbering from 1-60.When I copied them onto a CD and played on my DVD
player they were in perfect order.
When I gave the CD to my sister to put on her computer the pictures came out in
all sorts of order.
Can you explain why and have I done something wrong?
And how can I stop it happening again.
Someone has mentioned "Finalising the disc"
What is this and how do I do it?
Hoping someone can help me
Thanks
Pat Baker
