Vista - Select Which Pictures to Import?

07-28-2008

When we had Windows XP, anytime we connected our camera up to the PC, before
importing, it would ask us which pictures we wanted to import and where. Now
that we have this new PC with Windows Vista...it only asks us for a tag, but
imports ALL pictures that are on the camera.

How can we get it to prompt us as to which pictures we want to import, vs.
importing all pictures.

If you are talking about Windows Photo Gallery, by default it keeps track of
which pictures were previously imported, and only imports the newer ones.

But the newer Windows Live Photo Gallery works better, as it allows you to
select which photos to import. It also has a few more features than WPG.
