What does 001 mean?
« on: Monday 16 July 18 12:27 BST (UK) »
   I am on Windows 7 at the moment, and I scan photos all the time.     Once I have scanned a photo, I get the Import Pictures box, asking me to name the picture.    So I name it, and click Import.    Next page that comes up has the photo with the tagged name underneath - but with 001 at the end.     What is this 001?     What does it signify?

It sounds like whatever scanner software you're using has given the scan the number 001.
Then the programme you're using to open the image is asking you to give it a name, so if it was originally 001.jpg it's now become xxxx001.jpg after you're named it.

Is it an Epson scanner? If it is, the number is inserted by the scanning software. Probably useful if you're scanning the same thing multiple times but otherwise I find it a nuisance having to delete the numbers every time I scan something.

Ray,
        I did have an old Epsom my sister gave me about three of years ago - but since then I have been using an old Dell, which my sister also gave me.    Mt computer is a Dell.       I only use the printer for scans though.   I don't use ink cartridges any more because I just think the price of the ink is a rip-off.    I was spending mountains of money on ink.      No more!

        I was glad  ;D that you said you deleted the 001 every time you scan something.    When making my original post here, I thought that if I admitted I was deleting the 001 for every image, it would look ridiculous.

No, you wouldn't look ridiculous. Do exactly as you want; even when the computer tells you otherwise!

I use a Mac - the last "Microsoft" computer I had ran on DOS-5 - I've never let anything with Windows through the door.
