Hi,
Just managed to find some old photo cd's from year 2000. They are Klick photopoint ones and I managed to export them into my pictures.
There are 6 seperate ones, but I wish to burn them onto the 1 CD.
I have selected CD 1 to copy, then when I go to select CD 2 to copy, it replaces them all as they all have the same names i.e 1.jpg, 2.jpg - 36.jpg therefore only ever getting 36 photos to copy over
I was going to change the names of them all, but is there an easier way to do it ?
Also, when I did go to change the name, the box saying that is may become unstable pops up and I don't want that to happen either.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

You could copy them all on to your computers hard drive..
Select all of the photos then right click, rename..
Give them a name say 2000 and it will name them 2000(1), 2000(2) etc..I would have used my own initiative if someone would have told me to!0 -
As above, batch renaming is a doddle in Windows.
The stability issue is because you're removing the .jpeg / .jpg / .bmp or similar from the end of the name when you rename the file. You have to leave them in place for Windows to know that the file is a picture.0 -
Thanks for that, I will try that now, I am not very computer savvy****************************0
