Windows 10: Picture file trying to over-ride my existing picture files

As a keen flickr member I have a lot of photographs on my computer. These are all neatly allocated to different files, depending upon a variety of variables. So far....all is well.

Yesterday my neighbour kindly upgraded me to Windows 10. Everything seemed fine.

Today I tried to take 4 photographs off my camera and load them up to my computer. Initially I got a dialogue box asking me what I would like to do in future when I plugged in my camera - I said "upload the pix to my computer".

Previously they have always arrived on my desktop in a separate file. I would then edit them, afterwards splitting them up into different files, depending on what I want to do with them.

Anyway, this morning, after taken 4 photographs, I plugged in my camera. I then get a message saying "We found 880 photos. Would you like to import them into your picture folder". And the only alternatives given were IMPORT or CANCEL.

Aggggggggh! I do NOT want all my pix jumbled together in a picture folder. I want them all neatly organised into the folders I have set up.

Is there any way I can get rid of this 'Picture folder' and go back to using my existing folders (they are all still there, and all still containing the photographs they should rightfully contain.)

I would be hugely grateful for some help.

Where are profile pictures saved in windows phone?

When I connect my phone to my computer, there is a file called pictures. Within pictures, there are subfolders for camera roll, sample pictures, saved pictures, and screenshots. I don't see any folder for profile pictures. I have some old pictures I'd
like to get at that exist only as profile pictures. These were taken with an old phone, and transfered over when I got my current phone. Is there a folder I can get to where all these pictures are saved?

 

6500 Slide Counter problem

Is there a way to turn off the picture counter auto reset?

Everytime I move the pictures to the computer the counter starts over from Pic000 is there anyway to turn this off? I want it to keep on counting so I dont get any "replace existing file" when I move the pictures to the computer.

 

What happens if click Import? Does it give the option to move them into a specific folder or does it just appear in the Pictures folder? Usually, can just double-click the camera in This PC so that can see its contents and can copy over photographs that want into the locations that want them in.

 

I dare not click "import" to find out. It is saying that it wants to import 880 photographs! Not just the 4 photographs on my camera! What happens if I click import and all my images are taken out of all my existing folders and just shoved higgledy piggledy into "Pictures". I would have to go off and shoot myself....

Ahhh, I am going off to try your "This PC" option. Thank you for that!

 

In Settings , go to Autoplay. Here you can specify where files will be saved or if the system should ask you for specified locations. The instructions can be done by type/source of input etc.

 

Thank you very much for responding.

To my great embarrassment and shame I have to admit that it turns out the problem was with my camera, not with Windows 10. Previously, with Windows 7, when uploading pix, you were offered the option to have the pix deleted once uploaded. I always chose that option, and presumed there were no pix on my camera.

Well, my lovely nerdy neighbour came round yesterday, and he said the location references for the pix had been deleted, but not the actual pix themselves. So, the 880 pix that Windows 10 wanted to import into the picture file were not pictures already on my computer (carefully sorted into different files), but pictures in my camera. He therefore took my camera and properly deleted them all.

So, the problem is solved. I will however be using the advice I got here for uploads in future... Thank you again for your help.
