Subject: [TMG] Easy way to change exhibit drive letter?
Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 09:15:04 -0700


I didn't see this come through, my mail server has been having problems
so if it did please forgive this resend:

Speaking of hundreds of photos. I have the same thing with my mother
who has hundreds of old family photos that I am scanning in. The
problem I have is I have two computers and they have different drive
letters for the cd reader. I have been looking for a way to change the
letter like you can for backups. In one of the setup screens you can
say for instance, use drive E: for backup, but I don't see anything for
in this case of the cd.

So what I am asking is there any place you can define
devices/directories so you can use a logical to point to it?

Example:

If all my exhibits will be on cds that will be in cd reader F: is there

someplace I can define say for example EXHIBIT_DRIVE = F: so if I get a
new computer or use a different one I can just change this logical
instead of having to go in by hand and change each exhibit
individually? (or make the change to windows...)???

This way my exhibit would have the pointer:

EXHIBIT_DRIVE:/photos/kaste/fred
vs
F:/photos/kaste/fred

thanks again,

dale
