I have lots of photos all jumbled on different cds/dvds.  I want to index them, referring to their location by disc name or number that I will label each disc with.  How do I name each disc in the Database?  When each is opened, they are just H:\  - the drive letter.

Also, in the Help file, under Image Context Menu, it says that when you change the metadata info, it changes it in the DB as well as in the Image.  How does it do this on a non-rewritable CD? 

Thanks for any help you can provide.  I've just downloaded the program, and am testing it out on one batch of photos on a CD before commencing the major work!

Actually my discs don't have any Labels - if you mean Volume names.  I want to create names (actually I'll just write numbers on all the photo discs with a marker), then I want to be able to load a disc for the first time into MPI, give it the same number as on the disc in the DB, then whenever I search for a photo in the DB, it will report what disc number it is on.

So, if I use Comments to assign disc numbers, I can then search for a photo(s) by entering the desired tags, and just look in the Comment field to see which disc that photo is on.

Sort of roundabout, but that should work for me.  Usually, 'catalogues' have a 'Location' field, and I thought I just couldn't find it!  Thanks so much for your prompt response.

The premise of your software is exactly what I was looking for.  Simple, clean, easy - I just want an ongoing way to catalog my photos, and locate them easily on their storage discs, when needed.

Thanks again,

Hi,

The rotation issue is probably due to the fact that you are using offline media(CD/DVD) My Photo Index Tries to rotate the original image not only the thumbnail, As for the comments this still should work, I will check that out,

I'm currently working on the new Beta version so I will address these issues and also the name of the files and other details except for dates,
