Organising Photos in Windows 7
I have been getting never ending headaches trying to organize photos in windows 7.
With XP or Vista I could simply drag the thumbnails around to the order I want in the folder , then select all , then mass rename and that order would remain - even after closing and reopening folder.
With Windows 7 , it will just hold the order based on NAME , regardless of where I try and drag the photo. Can I stop 7 doing this. Also , selecting sort "BY DATE" or any other "SORT BY" option is no use to me , I want to sort them randomly based on what they show - hence I don't want windows to do any rearranging until I have sorted and renamed them in the order I want.
If I have say 500 photos , and want to view in a particular order as a slide show , then it is not practical to rename every single photo individually so that windows 7 will display in the order I want ( this would take hours , as opposed to about 10 mins using drag and drop as I did with Vista and XP ). - and while on the subject of ORDER , am I able to organize folders in any area - eg MY DOCUMENTS the way I want , rather than instantly defaulting to alphabetical as WINDOWS 7 seems to do ??
