Programme enquiry

I’m not sure what you mean. Do you want the file names to be archived? Digital file names are singularly useless.

If not names, isn’t sending pictures to a "database" the same as sending it to a "photo album" as Photoshop Elements or Paint Shop Pro would call it? You don’t have to do any editing.

Is there a programme that will allow me to have a camera connected to the computer so that any picture taken will go directly into a database or a spreadsheet – bypassing any image editing software…?

Thanks!

lots of them do that
it uses the twain feature
you can direct input pictures (and video cam) to
MS Publisher
Roxio CD maker
Windows Movie maker
Excel
I’m sure lots of others

I don’t suggest this method
I used to input photo scans direct into Publisher but then found I needed the images in other programs and you cannot work with them as easily as if you create a directory of images and then import them.

Thanks for the replies but I have found exactly what I want – at least it looks like it…and only $95..!!

Very nice try at Spam, nearly got away with it too – You can be sure I will pass this on to all the other groups you spammed with exactly the same message, did you think we only access one group, or was it, you just didn’t care.
If there is one thing I dislike more than Spam, it’s Spam dressed up as Mutton!!

Why would that be what you want? That software does no more than the supplied software with Canon digital SLR’s. I have the EOS 20D and it comes with software that allows me to remotely fire the camera and change virtually any setting on the camera from my computer.

It does not seem to satisfy your orginal request of taking a photo and dropping it directly into a database. I assumed you meant something like Employee ID’s in a database (for example) where you wanted to drop their image into their record.

I take it that for some reason you cannot see my earlier post to the effect that obviously works for this company and is spamming all the relevant newsgroups on their behalf with this spurious query!

Hi Harry, yes, I read your post just after sending mine. That certainly explains things. Have a good one Harry,

"Spam dressed up as Mutton!!"
It’s a play on the saying "Mutton dressed up as Lamb!" You know Lamb Spam! Mutton dressed up as Lamb!!!!!!!!……….
Oh forget it, it’s not worth the effort!

I liked it. Limey. But you can’t expect applause for every bon mot.

Ahhh – you see don’t have mutton here in America. I think we export it all to some other country across the pond, and we use the rest as an additive to toughen up car tires and the like.

But we do have Spam, in spades:

Actually whilst on the subject of two nations divided by a common language, I happened to post on a Flickr photo restoration site, that I would not attempt to try to teach someone how to suck eggs!! This was taken very badly by the correspondent, and it was only after some digging that I realised that the expression has totally different meanings in the UK & USA, the chap actually left the newsgroup as a result! packed up all his pictures and went off in a huff!!

In the UK it means this. Anyway, here’s what Charles Earle *** says in "Hog on Ice" (Harper & Row, New York, 1948). "To teach one’s grandmother to suck eggs – To offer needless assistance; to waste one’s efforts upon futile matters; especially, to offer advice to an expert. This particular expression is well over two hundred years old; it is just a variation of an older theme that was absurd enough to appeal to the popular fancy.

In the US it can mean to suck ones testicles. Which is not nice.

(The US interpretation came from a colonial friend!!)

The same thing, as a rule.
However, I’ve heard it used as a grave insult (not as in sucking one’s tesitcles, though). It seemes that some see it as a description of one as a thief, as in someone sucking eggs dry, then returning the shell in an attempt to steal eggs without being caught.
An underhanded thief, who would stoop to sucking eggs, so to speak.

<Rare> Never heard of that till now, but its origins might well be in the L.A. area: /Huevos/ is Spanish for egggs, and in some areas of the US, slang for testicles.

I never knew that. Thank you.

Now, how many know why GG grandmother sucked eggs, and what the secret of proper egg sucking is?
