When i put photo's onto "my pictures" in a folder they automatically go onto vista photo gallery" why is this?.
If i delete them off PG they go off "my pics" too, so ive ended up with 2 lots of photos taking up space :huh:

I want to "tidy up" a bit. but cant because of this problem, or is it a problem, i dont know :huh: :)

dont put em in my pictures folder?

i dont use my documents or anything...i prefer my own folders elsewhere

dont put em in my pictures folder?

i dont use my documents or anything...i prefer my own folders elsewhere

When i "import" photo's via camera or mobile they go straight to my pictures, i havent got any options at that point

And you aint helped me one little bit..thanks :huh:

haha ... cant wait for the reply here .. :)

i thought it was a good answer Mel.. i would not accept the copy option and use the drag or save option to your own personal folder.. i have vista .. and works for me ..

hmmmmmmmmm no idea with mobiles but when i grab em off my camera i normally stick em on the desktop.......then stick em in a folder and copy em elsewhere

doesnt it let you browse when you export em?

There are options somewhere. Have you installed any software that came with te camera or is Vista copying the pictures?

Well that's not really the way to,. mrl; m, bmm, fbn,

*lost interest*

Looking at the blurb for Vista Photo Gallery (I've never used it myself), it's a seperate application for managing photos. It's shows all the images it can find on your computer (set up to show the contents of the My Pictures folder by default).

Therefore, when a picture is in the Photo Gallery, it's not taking up additional space on your computer - the actual file is the one in your My Pictures folder (as proved by it disapearing from both when you delete the file in Photo Gallery or Explorer).

When you are on the photo gallery make a new folder,then drag the photos in it you want and then you can copy the folder to wherever you want it.I think.

Thanks folks, but no it dosent work for me either. :)

This may be why....When you remove a folder from Photo Gallery, you do not delete it from your computer. If you remove a folder, Photo Gallery will no longer display the pictures and videos that were in that folder, though the folder will remain on your computer.

You can remove folders that you have added to Photo Gallery at any time, but you can't remove the folders that are in Photo Gallery by default. Removing a folder prevents it from being displayed in Photo Gallery. While you can remove folders from Photo Gallery, you can't remove individual pictures or videos. You can, however, delete pictures from Photo Gallery at any time. If you delete a picture it is deleted from your computer as if you deleted it from the Pictures folder.

In addition, you can't remove a subfolder without removing its top-level folder as well. In the following example, you can remove the folder called Family, which will also remove all of its subfolders. However, you can't remove only the folder called Children or Grandparents.
