Agreed. I typically use rechargables in my camera, so I'm not messing with the (xD in my case) card. I just plug in the camera, Konqueror opens a window, I copy the files to folder - /home/kai/Documents/My Pictures/YYYY/Event - then either open Digikam or Picasa to manage them. I then simply keep them local, copy some to one of my USB drives to take to the local photo shop, like Price Club or Target, or I upload them to shutterfly or some other service. In some cases, I put one picture up on my web page just to view. This one I just put up this morning: http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/68 In addition I often make a web page containing a collection. I host several sites and have 50G available. I just use Konqueror to ftp them up. Picasa does a nice job of setting up a web page using a format I like. Here's an example on the web: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/pics/2007/arrowhead/ I did this one with gwenview: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/pics/2006/2006_florida/ Though I haven't used it recently JAlbum (http://jalbum.net/) does a beatiful job of both managing pictures and setting up web albums. I gave up on it only because it does "too much" for me. :P HTH! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
