Well, after telling you all how much better ZB 3.1 was, it started to play up yesterday ! I opened the program and everything was going fine untill I opened a folder called "Temp", which I had created some days earlier and previously used. About 10 pics were missing and a notice saying "Updating database" appeared. While this notice is displayed, nothing else works. Eventually it disappears and the other folders work. I can't delete "temp" as the notice re-appears.

So, I thought ....... right ...... it's time ZB zoomed off to the trash can. I now have "Ulead Photo Explorer 6.0" from a free download off a CD in a magazine. It seems to work quite well, although I would prefer ZB if it worked properly ALL the time.
Perhaps if I were a bit more computer literate, I may have been able to save the program and continue using it, but for now, I will un-install and re-install ZB and keep it mainly for Photo Stitching.

As manufacturer supplied software goes, ZB is decent, but that isn't saying much. Kinda like saying as government cheese goes, the cheddar doesn't make you puke. There are plenty of 3rd party programs out there that do each part of what ZB does (downloading, RAW conversion, stitching, etc) that there really is no need for ZB. I don't even have it installed.
