Transferring Pics from Digital camera to subfolder in my pictures

My 2-cents worth.

I also tried the Easyshare software when I first got my Kodak.

Sending pics from camera to folders via the dock created some godawful messes
with folders and archiving and Easyshare losing "associations" with archived
photos.

I found the easist solution for myself was to not use the dock except for
re-charging.

I plug the camera directly to a USB port and Windows recognizes the camera as a
hard drive.

I can then transfer where I want to and use Digital Image Library for Archiving.

Can also transfer from hard drive back to card on camera if I want take it into
Wal-Mart for printing while I'm over having a beer.

If you uninstall the Easyshare software completely, Windows recognizes the
camera as removable storage.

I prefer it as a hard drive because of the Wal-Mart reason above.

I don't want to send them in via internet 'cause I have to wait for them to mail
me the prints.

I don't get to town much<g>

thats how I do it too.....I dont use the easyshare software, Im using windows
wizard each time, just by setting it on the dock and hitting the button.
But it was automatically making a subfolder for me with my choice of
name....now it isnt. I dont want it to be named by date, and thats the
only option I can find. I also dont want to have to make a new folder each
time on my own......it was doing it all in the transfer process
automatically...I just typed a name.

I have fixed this once before but now I cant remember how.

You can try the small software named RoboImport which can make a sub–folder with your choice of name and much more. RI can places your photos in the chronologically organized folders with descriptive names, autorotate your images during transfer, correct resolution etc etc etc. I can't to list all the features which RI can. It can be downloaded here: http://www.roboimport.co

It's still *very* easy to click on the date-named folder and rename
it to anything you want after the transfer--right?
