----- Original Message ----- From: "Emily L. Ferguson" : Some paranoids make a CD of the origs and a dupe folder of them as : well, then work on the original folder form which they made the dupe : and burned the CD..... To make things easier at a later date, just before burning the CD pop all the folders/files into a folder first then use a tool called 'PrintFolder' ( http://no-nonsense-software.com/ ) to make a directory of the files - save this as a text file into the same folder, again using Exifer (http://www.exifer.friedemann.info/), grab all the EXIF data including any notes, descriptions and keywords and create a spreadshhet containing the CD image info and save that into the same folder as well. Tuck these two files away in a safe spot on your hard drive for later reference too. when you have these two additional files tacked into the directory you're to burn, fire up deepburner (www.deepburner.com ) and burn your DVD/CD/whatever optical media we'll be using in 6 months ;-) k
