How to dump photos from SD card to CF card?

BBH · 06-20-07, 12:23 PM

I would love to be able to use the CF card to create backups from our SD camera cards while traveling, but I can't figure out how to do it. When I put the SD card in and open the photo files, there's nowhere to do a 'save as.' The online directions seem to think I have an actual camera in the Axim. Any suggestions?

Open file explorer, or whatever explorer you have, select the photos on the SD.
Tap and hold and select copy
navigate to the CF card select the folder you want , Tap and hold and select paste.

can't you use the built in file explorer to copy/paste... instead of your photo viewer app

You can also use a nice little program called AndyRenamer. I use it all the time to download and rename hundreds of photos to my CF card.

By the way, welcome to the site.

I did this exact thing once on vacation to move photos from my cameras CF card to a spare SD card. It worked but it took hours for my axim to transfer the 500 or so photo files from one card to the other. Maybe it was the card speed ( maybe the card was slow - I honestly don't remember since I don't have either card anymore) but I would try it with a small number of files first before you give a comand that might tie up your axim for an hour or two.
