I remove the pictures from the memory card just after download (see above), but in<br>
parallel, I do start a backup from my PC to the external usb drive. I dislike the idea<br>
of having only one copy of the pictures.<br>
Anyway, like Marie-Noëlle: there's no time for splitting the images into their final<br>
directories at download time:)<br>
<br>
Thanks & regards<br>
