Epson Print CD select picture arrangement??

[dmagic1]

Anyone know how it arranges the pictures, or better yet how to arrange them in alphabetical order?

[steveryan]

Strange, on mine it arranges the pics in alphabetical order.

[dmagic1]

Really?
Hmm,.... anyone else

[iooi]

Yep mine too all nice and sorted in order form a 2 z

[dmagic1]

WTH, why isn't mine.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled and get the same random files. I even removed the Cdlabel.alb and it still sorts them the same way again. Can you imagine how frustrating it is to have to scroll down looking for the pic you want.
Does anyone have a solution for this?? Plz

What version is your Print CD? Mine is 1.20A
Is there an update for this program?

[iooi]

1.10E here.
Are file names all in the same case ?

I hate the add a picture thingy. I have only around a dozen showing and most of those are the samples. MY stuff doesn't even show up very often, I have a few showing but thats all.

I just open the pics in a graphics program cut there and paste into CDprint. I do need a way to save my labels to a normal format though. I just thought if I ever stop using that program ALL my custom labels saved there will be lost

Mostly I make the labels in other programs, but some customs were made in CDprint.

Yeah, I hate the Epson "Explorer" too. Epson uses that goofy, limiting, proprietary format for its 1250 scanner I have too, as well as for the PhotoQuicker software that comes with the R300. Why can't they use plain old Windows Explorer like normal people?

Well I have some Clipart that uses a thumbnail system sort of like Epsons to show the images and that's nice when you have alot of them to be able to browse through them visually, but Epsons ain't showing me half of my pics I put in it, just a few of them. Those are standard format.

Ya any program that uses proprietary file formats is crap though! So if I want to Edit my lables in another program I can't open them! I also found that the Epson CD print does not let me cut/copy my images for paisting into another program either! I can paist into CD print just fine, but I can't copy out of it

It's a great little disk printing program and does alot, too bad it has these other problems!!

If you want to use a pic off your hard drive i always take the route...
import/picture
Which then allows you to browse to the folder where the files are...Remember it to the folder NOT the file....So it then displays all files in folder.

That works but what a waste of time and effort. Thanks for the tip though.

That leaves me with the same problem. All my labels are in the same folder. I end up opening it and have to search thru all of them for the one I need.
Is there anyway I can get that version of Print CD from you? Maybe its a bug in 1.20

http://support.epson.ru/upload/drivertypes/000781/pricd_12ae.zip That is version 1.20E.

What are the differences between 1.20A (which I also have) and 1.20E?

[dmagic1]

http://support.epson.ru/upload/drivertypes/000781/pricd_12ae.zip That is version 1.20E.

I looked at this one before. The setup.exe is the same version as the one on my Print CD install cd. I assumed it would install version 1.20A. If it installs 1.20E I guess I will give it a try.

**Update**

I tried v1.20E and I have the same problem.

I found what my problem is. Print CD is arranging my pictures in the order they are put in the folder. Not by name, not my modification date, but by order they are put in the folder.

To get them and alphabetical order I have to use my ftp program and move them from one folder to the other after deleting the cdlable.alb file. I couldn't even use windows explorer to me them because it would put them inside in alphabetical order. Whats bad is I have to keep doing this from time to time to keep them in order.
