Photos

After I have taken quite a few photos I then download them.........camera goes off till the next time.My question is when I take some more photos and want to download them I'm asked if I want to write over the previous ones as they are numbered(I don't give them names)the same which I obviously don't,is there a quick way of doing this without going through all the latest ones and re-numbering them???
Thanks!!!!!!

Try leaving the last picture on your camera memory card. Hopefully it will start numbering sequentially from there. My wifes camera does this but my phone fills in the gaps, aarrgh.

whenever you "clear out" the files ... the old pikkie box resets back at 1

as you know - if you do overwrite .. you'll loose the older files each time

here are a couple of easy options
first is to create a new folder everytime you transfer the files ... june07 ... or blackpool07.... 07_06 (easy to sort)

the alternative is to download something like Rename-master

copy the files and re-name them (the prog will do sequential numbering) so blackpool01, 02 etc

the last is to use a prog such as picasa

I think the problem is because the folder a digital camera creates is usually called "DCIM" If you down load this and leave the name unchanged,then the next download will again be named "DCIM" and as you can't have two folders with the same name you are asked if you want to overwrite the previous one.
The solution is to rename the folder each time after you download it.
You could copy the folder to your desktop,right click on it,scroll down to the "rename" entry left click that.The folder name can then be renamed to something(perhaps a date,or short reference to the contents,so DCIM might become 221107,taking todays date as an example.If you follow this routine each time the problem won't occur

Thank you for your replies I'll give them a try doing what I think is the easiest first and go from there. Thanks again!!!!
