Unlike free Google Picasa, free Windows Live Photo Gallery makes copies of any image touched and moves and renames the original out of the user's access. Then I have an all-purpose, well-identified library for all time that any program, especially Windows Explorer, can access and browse, and backups are easy, smartly adding only new files to external USB drive archive similarly organized for all time - hey, it's all library science, right? " and so on to "myname-date-1234.Raw myname-date-1235.Raw. Then I use free (one for all) Rename for basic group renaming, taking a series of picture files like "PICT1234.Raw PICT1235.Raw.

Then I use Picasa to expand the directory name to C:\DCIM\MyName Date Count Camera Location Description\*.* I use Picasa to import images from my camera card into c:\DCIM\Date\*.*
