Here is one thats doing my nut in
When i take my photos and go to put them on my comuter, the camera or computer seems to just put them on randomly??????????
Any ideas how to get them off in te order they were taken?????
cheers
Its a wild guess, but if your camera uses SD cards (and this probably applies to other solid-state memory) it may be a design feature.
Solid-state memory has a limited read-write capacity. By randomising the area that pictures are written to you preserve the life of your card by not continually writing to the start of the card. When your moving pictures off, it may just start at the start of the device and go through to the end, so it appears that they are coming off in random order.
Just let it sit there and finish, then sort your folder by filename and they'll all be in chronological order.
This is of course pure speculation, and there may be some other feature of your card/OS/card-reader/camera that is causing this.
See
this wikipedia article which mentioned the limited life of solid state devices.
