Wow, how many pics do you have?

I had under 300, they came down in one zip file, and it took seconds to extract.

Well, at least you'll have them.

Nope, not fun at all.

YES.... I do have them all & now they are on my desktop & I have 3 of the files saved to a disk so far but taking a break from that, thanks for all your help! I had ALOT of photos on there, every trip, wedding, quilt show etc. :shock:

Just an FYI -

The first download I did of my pictures back in October apparently did NOT include all of them.
For some unknown reason I decided yesterday to check a few of the pictures and went into the folders extracted from the original zipfile.
And I started noticing some omissions.

I redid the "download" file process, and this time they ALL were included.

So just a suggestion to make sure that you at least have a folder for every webshots album.
I went further and reconciled the photo count between the two (because I'm obsessed that way).

And then I CAP-ed all the descriptions from Webshots into a word document - time consuming, but you sort of get into the zone.
Again, all my pictures were of my quilts, so I didn't want to have to remember or dig out and type again all the relevant information - year made, dimensions, source, recipients, etc.

Whenever I find a new home for the photos - well, IF I find a new home - I can just CAP the text back in over there.

Just a few more days until Webshots is gone.

Here's the official message in case you haven't yet downloaded your photos:
