I want to send copies of several images to a relative by copying them onto a data stick. How can this be done?

    The organizer offers two solutions:

    - the menu File >> Export as new files (shortcut Ctrl E applied on highlighted files)

    - the menu File >> Copy/Move to removable drife (shortcut Shift O)

    If you can select your files (a subfolder for instance) you can simply use your Explorer or Finder to do the copy.

    Michel, Thank you for your time in replying but I see, from the message on screen, that I would lose the images from the folders. I need to keep the images in my folders but only copy them to a data stick.

    Exporting or copying don't remove your files from the folders; neither do copying from your OS. Of course, if you choose to 'Move', it does.
