When you say "it actually zips up all those MM files", does that mean the actual images, once unzipped, would be accessible even if I had moved or renamed the original files on my HD? I'm hoping that's what that means because then if your HD crashes, your images would still be saved, although compressed. Am I understanding that correctly?
