Windows Live Photo Gallery has some nice import options that I thought were worth talking about.  If you can’t tell, I really like the program.

To get to the import options go to  “file” – “Options”.  Next, click on the “Import” tab.  Now you can see the import settings. 

The first thing to do is choose what you want to change the settings on, cameras, video cameras, album download or cds and dvds.  Each item will ask where to Import to.  This is simply asking what gallery you want to import the media into.  Next you will be asked what folder name you want created when it imports the media.  This is a drop down with several options from the name of the folder on the camera to different date settings to none.  It will also ask file name.  Again, several options and I just use the original name.

There are now 3 more options depending on what you are changing the settings for.  They can be “Open Windows Live Photo Gallery after importing files”, “Delete files from device after importing”, “Rotate photos during import”, and “Import videos as multiple files (not available for HD video)”.

And that is that.  If you have any issues with the program, we can blame Larry.
