Hi:
I have just read all replies in this topic. I guess there is something that I don't understand. Once a file (group of photos) is entered into ESSC and everything is working properly, can I delete these photos from my data base and only leave them in ESSC ? ? If not, then how would someone on another computer view them without my data base if I copied ESSC to a CD. I guess that this "path" thing is what I don't understand.
Thanks
Vince

Hi Vince,
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by database, but I'll try to provide a summary of what happens. When you create a slide show file (sld), the full paths to the files you use are stored in this file. For example, maybe you add a picture to your slide show located at C:\pictures\mypic.jpg. ESSC does not make a copy of this file, it just remembers where it lives. When you create a portable slide show (either the zip or CD options from the File menu), the picture would be copied to a special prepared folder that you designate. After you have prepared your show and burnt it to CD, there will be copies of your picture and music files on the CD itself. So, when you send that CD to someone else, the show will play with copies of the files that are on the CD. The original files are still on your hard drive. If you delete the originals from your hard drive, you will no longer be able to make changes to your show and save them in the sld file because the pictures would be missing. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply.
That is what I kind of figured out after I posted my question as I moved a few photos to another folder and they dissapered from my slide show. Oh well, we live to learn.
Thanks again
Vince
