Being a member of SADD has its disadvantages! My designs also need some serious reorganizing
Being SADD has a prize, I've noticed too. I save directly into folders named after the site, not the designers I,m afraid. The subfolders relate to the design, flora, fauna, etc. Takes ages, so I just stop after a certain time and otherwise I'm glued to the PC.
I need help with mine I don't know where I got the designs from I hate if someone ask ,and to look for something is a real pain
I too have started reorganizing. I have many, many, many zip files I have started opening and saving to the correct folders. What a job! Now when I download a design, I "open and save"the files with the correct format to the correct folder. Wish I would have done this from the start. Oh well, live and learn.
Have had this idea flit through my mind everyday since I became a "Cute", but somehow the day goes by and it doesn't get done...maybe tomorrow LOL !!!
I think that we can all relate to this. I have been trying to set up folder, and sub-folders, but what a mess I have. But, it is better than it was, and so much better since I no longer put things on floppy - Good luck with this project!
i have been trying to get through mine but it is an ednless task at the moment. i manage 100 a day that is enough for me at one time.
Well "Cuties" and "Anything"(Eric), I did that too when I first started, then thought,"This is silly" so I made folders and subfolders and save all the downloads into their appropriate folders.I also convert imediately with Wilcom Truesizer. All the designs that are not jef format open in Truesizer, so I convert before I save.Might be a bit of a pain while you are doing it especially if you have a lot to daownload at once, but it does save time in the long run
Oh Raels I can really relate, I stupidly downloaded all the freebies I found at ALL the designers at OPW, one after another without thought of tomorrow.... over 600 designs and each one has to be reformatted, then catalogued and stored on two computers, plus i keep following the links my Cutie friends keep sharing, and then of course there's Sick and Cute and to be quite honest I'm feeling sick and tired of sitting at my pc. I swear after I finish this lot i'm not downloading any more designs unless they are part of sets i'm already collecting. SO at least friend you know you are not alone in your endeavours and I will stop occasionally and think of you, also, working/whittling away at your collection. Hugs and Bouquets of roses to you, Meg
It is a mammoth task, Raels. I'm waiting for a rush of energy before I tackle the same job. *4U
It doesn't take energy, just dogged, dragout, determination and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours ...........................
