Photo Import Wizard

The new import pictures Wizard & Video with Windows 7 is much less functional than the one that comes with Windows XP. For example, I now have to import all the images on a disk, rather than choose the ones I want. I also have to create a folder, they are based on the tag, date, etc. There is no other choice if I don't want to create a new folder. I do something wrong or can I go back to the XP version of this import wizard?  Thank you very much!

Hello MJBNYC,

·         You use the Windows Live Photo Gallery to import pictures on your computer?

There is an option to choose the photos you want to import into Windows 7.

You need to change the settings for importing pictures and videos.

Connect the device that you are importing the photos of:

Insert a CD or DVD that contains pictures or videos in your data CD/DVD drive.

1. in the Autorun dialog box that appears, click Import pictures and videos using Windows.

2. to change the parameters that are used when importing pictures and videos, click Import settings in the import pictures and videos dialog box.

3. change one or more settings in the import settings dialog box and then click OK.

4. click OK to restart import pictures and videos. Type a label in the box tag these pictures (optional) and then click Import to import your pictures and videos using the new settings.

If you import pictures in the photo gallery, you can also access the settings by following the steps below:

1. click the file menu and then click Options.

2. click on the tab to import, and then in the parameters list, select the device that you want to create import settings for.

3. you can select the following settings for all import devices:

In the import list, select the root folder where you want to save photos or videos imported from this kind of device. To select a folder that is not in the list, click Browse.

4. in the name of the folder list, select a format for the names of folders stored in imported photos and videos.

5. in the file name list, select a format for the file names of the photos and videos imported by photo gallery.

6. to open the photo gallery after you import photos or videos, select the open Windows Live Photo Gallery after importing files check box.

    If Autorun does not start, the following steps may
    be worth a try:

    Connect the camera to the computer via a USB cable and
    Turn on the camera.

    Reach... Start / computer / removable devices
    Storage...

    Look at the drive letters and see if one of them
    represents the camera. He can say removable disk

    If the camera is recognized... right click on the drive letter
    and from the menu choose... Open or explore.

    The directory of the memory card in the camera must
    poster and if you browse through the various
    files, you must find the photo files.

    Once found... you can copy/paste the pictures in a folder
    on your hard drive.

    Simple and the best solution IMHO is to use an internal
    or external USB memory card reader.

    It will not drain your camera batteries and can be faster.
    FWIW... download from the camera when batteries
    can be low after a long photo shoot could result
    corrupted photos.

    You have a USB media drive internal or external?

    Insert the memory card into the correct location on the media player...
    If open windows... Close them.

    When the card is inserted... If you go to... Start / computer... is
    player card on one or several removable disks?
    (You could say, "devices with... of removable storage")

    Removable (e :)) drive
    Removable disk (e :))
    Removable drive (g)

    If_Yes_you can download photos from there. Left click
    the drive letter that corresponds to the memory card must
    display the directory of the card and you can copy and paste or
    Drag and drop the photos of your choice in a folder on your hard drive
    drive.

    Just a select group of photos do a right-click and choose... Copy...
    then navigate to the folder that you want, and then right-click the
    folder and choose Paste.

  • The photo Import Wizard - no new photos are can it be reset?

    I imported my photos with the wizard, but I chose to keep the subfolders option... Well after seeing how it was organized in too many cases, I've changed my mind. I then deleted images from the PC and ATTEMPT to redo the import.

    Now every time I have insert the SD card, I get a popup saying that no new pictures have been found. Normally fine, but I need them to be imported again. I know I can just manually copy, but I want that they arranged according to date taken and which would take a lot of work manually.

    Y at - it anyway that reset so that the pictures are recognized as having never been imported. The images are on my SD card only, they have been removed from the computer (same trash). No new pictures were slow to be taken using my Panasonic Lumix digi cam and SD card

    I have a card reader in my laptop HP G62. Windows 7 64-bit.

    I had the same problem.  I saw a few asking indicated to rename the database of photos from Windows Live Photo Gallery, or Windows Photo Gallery.  I solved my problem by going to the Windows Live Photo Gallery - and then manually selecting import photo and it will give the opportunity to every new import or organize existing.  Selecting the existing organization in the Import Wizard brings all the photos.

    If you want to go on the way to rename the Photos DB, see this link:

    http://www.Vistax64.com/Vista-music-pictures-video/74007-re-import-pictures-using-Windows.html

    Note that in this link, it refers to .pd4 files - Windows Live Photo Gallery has moved to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery and the type of file .pd6.

  • Photo Import numbering is incorrect every time

    I had to get a new computer.  My old computer used to import from my camera and to maintain the numbering sequence.  So, if I import numbers he would label as IMG_2351, IMG_2352, etc..  The next import event would call back and pick up where the old numbering left.  Thus, the following import would be IMG_2353 and so on.  Now, when I import pictures, it starts each event 001 import.  So, I have several numbered photos 001.   I want to tell him to keep the numbering sequence, as did my old computer.  Is this possible?

    What is the brand and model of your camera?  Most of the cameras I know make the internal numbering file (i.e. before the files are imported).

    Photo import software can usually be configured to save files in folders named with the date, that the photos were taken.  Exactly how you import pictures from your camera?  You use the software from the manufacturer of your camera (for example, Canon Zoombrowser EX) or you are using the Windows 7 built-in Assistant (assuming you have Windows 7)?

    If you use the Windows 7 photo Import Wizard, make sure that 'File name' in "Import settings" is set to "Original file name.  See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/change-settings-for-importing-pictures-and-videos

    If I were you, I would also change the folder 'Take Date' rather than 'Date' imported

  • I'm not able toimport photos on my Digital Image Pro 10 the Import Wizard program theough.

    On ebay I just Digital Image Pro 10.  I use a nikon camera and when I initially shot to the top of the wizard, the nikon and my scanner is recognized.  I then right clicked on nikon one any icon images on my computer automatically.  For some unknown reason, when I now click on this icon, the wizard is eliminated, and I do not get the transfer.  Currently, I have to access my computer, then click the icon for nikon to download my images.  When everything was fine with my Import Wizard, I remember that a box came up that said "Always do the selected action."  That is, click the OK box.  I don't remember doing that.  Is this the reason of my not be able to download through my Import Wizard?  How can I get this dialog box?  Hopefully I can get an answer for this.  Thank you.

    How bookmarks are stored? If they are in an HTML file, you can go to bookmarks > organize bookmarks > import and backup > import HTML, select "in a HTML file" and go from there.

    If you have not currently saved favorites and b / m to import is already in a FF bookmarks file you could just more copy to your profile.

  • Cannot print photos with Photo Printing Wizard

    Have used the Photo Printing Wizard many, many times and have usually no problem but today, I do not get the layout options, he seems stuck on full page layout.

    Can anyone help please?

    Hi AnneIngham,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 are you having similar issue with all the photos you are trying to print?

    3. you receive an error message?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • How to print 3, 4 x 6 photos on a single sheet using the photo printing wizard

    Photo 4 x 6 3 on one sheet?

    Under XP I used to be able to print 3 Photo 4 x 6 on a sheet with the photo printing wizard.  Under Win 7, it seems that I am limited to only 2 photos.  Is it possible to print 3 pictures in Win 7?

    I understand your question (even if I'm the only one)

    You want to put three 4 x 6 photos on a page like windows xp.  No four 3x5s or two 4x6s. We know that three 4x6s can adapt because XP can do.

    If you have Windows 7 Pro or ultimate, you can use a virtual machine to "Windows XP Mode" to achieve this.

    Basically, you use windows XP to do what windows XP used to do since Win 7 apparently won't.

    If you have XP home, the "Windows XP Mode" feature is not included.

    If you have Pro or Ultimate then a little googling on the feature should provide details on how to activate and run it.

    I hope it helps a bit.

  • How to install the photo printing Wizard in windows xp

    I installed a wireless HP printer and now I can't print the sizes of images.  How can I install Windows Photo Printing Wizard.  Any help is appreciated.

    That did not help with the download of Photo Printing Wizaard.  I'm doing something wrong?

    =====================================================
    By running the command I posted should have reinstalled the Print Wizard.

    If you right click on a photo and choose... Print... What is happening?

    Launch the Photo Print Wizard?

    Is it possible that the paper in your printer properties size is set to 4 x 6?
    If this is the case... other sizes would be not visible in the wizard.

  • Behavior of the data import wizard when he meets a date/time field

    Hello

    Recently, I downloaded SqlDevelper 4.1.2.20 and used the wizard importing data for the first time.  In general, this has been a process easy and simple to use.

    I noticed a strange behaviour and I was wondering if that was seen by someone else.

    On importing data from an Excel worksheet, I met several fields with the date/time data,

    The Import Wizard is almost always empty the format field and showed in the "Columns of data sources" section this column and EACH column of data once it is in error.

    Once you get the correct format, I often found that I have to press the 'Back' button to clear the other columns of data to be deceived.   And, in some cases, I saw where the columns previously posted were then marked as error.

    Basically, anything after the column date corrected was wrong until an update of the "Source of data columns" has been done.

    If anyone else has noticed this?
