mstar1 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ok first off Im about 97.2% computer illiterate. I know the very basics, I generally read GSpot, read my mail and the news,, do a few other things, upload my photos off of my camera and that type of thing --thats about it. Its my first time in this forum(I didnt even know it was here --so that'll give you an idea of what I know..).. Anyway this is the situation. Im giving a talk soon and want to illustrate it with photogarphs. I searched through about 3000 photos that I have stored, chose about 65 pertinent ones and arranged them IN ORDER in a file to match my subject and talk, I then burned the file to CD For some reason when they were burned onto the CD the computer completely rearranged the photos from the arrangement that I had carefully put them in back to a sequential arrangement based on when they were first loaded into my computer. Ive tried a million (or so it seems) different ways to get it them to burn to the CD in the order that I want themto be in but so far nothing works Im sure that there is some simple way to do this but so far it escapes me I have the photos stored in Kodak Easyshare Files (EASY share my eye.. <_< ) Im working on a desktop with a windows operating system. I Apologize for being so inept. If anyone know hows or has an idea how to do this Im all ears and would appreciate the direction and help Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordWolf Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I can't guarantee I know the answer, but I MIGHT. Did you ever RENAME the pictures? If not, then the camera assigned "names" that were numerical, based on when you took them. Thus, they sort based on the "names". If you rename/renumber them in the order you want, then select the folder they're in and select to view them as a photo gallery or filmstrip or whatever, they should display in the order you selected. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstar1 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Thanks WW I was thinking it may be something like that--but after messing with it for many hours I had to let it go for awhile When I have a chance I will give that a shot and see what happens. I appreciate your response--I'll let you know how it works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
