Mike.  Brilliant.  I'll stay tuned to the Forum.  Incidentally if you would like me to help, with others, in the definition of the requirement prior to programming I'd be happy to assist.  You have my email address.  No reply needed. 

Kind Regards:  Malcolm

Mike.  I understand what you are saying.  For now I think I'm stuck with my clunky Windows Explorer solution which allows me to choose (by broad subject area) what photos go into which folder prior to import.  Although a Qimage Lite user for a few years I have to confess (sorry!) to using Lightroom 1.4 for editing RAW photos.  Lightroom's Import function kinda does what I'm looking for, in that it shows me thumbnails (pre-import) and allows me to assign them to folders of my choice.  However, it then requires me to fill in a page of information before the import and insists on putting the photos into the Lightroom catalogue which often I don't need.  So although I like the thumbnail viewer/chooser aspect the Import function is hopelessly over-complicated for my simple data piping needs.  Hence why I use Windows Explorer.  If only I knew how to program like you.....

Many thanks for your help and continuing support with Qimage.  Regards:

Malcolm

Fred & Terry.  Thank you both.  I'm not looking for a GPS approach just a simple "Thumbnail Routine" as Fred put it, (like I currently use with Windows Explorer for both NEF and JPEG).

For Mike Chaney:  Mike, is this a feature that you are considering, or might consider, for a future release? 

Thank You and Regards:  Malcolm

Hi,  Mostly I find that each of my memory cards has photos from more than one subject area.  A few weeks often elapse between each shoot.  So when I get around to downloading the photos I don't remember what subject I shot on which day.  What I normally do is to plug in my card reader and view the thumbnails in Windows Explorer.  I then manually copy, for example, the Alaska photos to a previously created folder called "2009 Alaska" and the Seattle photos to "2009 Seattle", using right-mouse button/drag/drop/copy.  Because some of the Seattle photos were taken before the Alaska trip and others were taken following the trip I rely on the visual cue of the thumbnails to permit me to select the correct images to go into their corresponding folder.  I've looked at the video, read the user guide and posts on the forum and like what I see.  However, what I am not sure about is whether FlashPipe is able to help me sort the wood from the trees before the images are imported to specific folders?

Grateful for any advice.  Thanks and Regards:

Malcolm
