    Hi!
    I'm looking for a program that, in a certain directory, will pick out photos randomly and copy them to a specified directory until it fills (e.x. a CompactFlash card). Hopefully freeware, but cheap programs if there is no freeware program.
    Thanks!

    i dont know about a computer program but if you are good at php and mysql just create a mysql table with all the filenames of the pics and create a php script that grabs the info from the table and do "ORDER RAND()" and then use php's copy function to move it to the drive and you copy do an automatic refresh and hopefully it would stop copying when full or you can just keep hitting refresh. The webserver would have to been on the same as the computer with the drive or linked by a network drive mapping and if you need aquick webserver use this Easyphp
