You don't know what he did. If you knew you wouldn't want him to have a prize for Peace.

The next the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony will happen on September 15, 2022. It might be too late to submit your application from the 'discovery' of your process, now discussed across multiple posts. Consider if your process is competitive against the 'ideas' of prior Ig Nobel winners:

I assume you're being sarcastic. If you are not, that would be unfortunate.

But he was assuming St. Mary's was being sarcastic, not Paul.

I'm still struggling with the mismatch in the number of hotdogs compared to the number of buns. I believe that it is a conspiracy!

Buy the "bun length" weiners. They come in packs that match the packages of buns.

It was a nice idea while it lasted. But Canon Tech Support gave a big ho-hum when I informed them of my discovery and my suggestion that they update their people NOT to pontificate about something being impossible when it quite obviously was possible. Ah, but who knows? Perhaps behind the scene he is being whipped with a wet noodle. But seriously, merging selected photos onto an SD devoted to use as input to a slide projector is simply too good an idea, and too simple a process, to dismiss out of hand.

This is as clear as mud.

No offense but it is certainly something I would never use and I think most wouldn't.

Ive hadda go through the same precise tedious file renaming protocol with audio files. Its a real PITA, definitely not the makings of a popular idea.

So you’re now disappointed that the UHH readers and now Canon are not applauding you for starting 4 threads, ignoring valid answers from computer professionals and doing something dumb and ignoring all the advice that YOU asked for? You know, you can actually with enough time and effort, make a car float and move across the water, whereas the simple (and correct) answer is to buy a boat.

Agree. It didn't sound like a particularly good idea to me in the first place, regardless of whether he was able to make it work. Contrary to his latest comment on this subject above, the OP seems to be the one pontificating, not Canon. This is his third or fourth thread on a not particularly important workaround, with a lot of bragging and patting himself on the back. I'm glad he was able to accomplish what he wanted to accomplish, but enough already. I only posted in this thread to let the OP know how silly this whole thing is getting.

My understanding of what the OP says he is doing, is that he's copying image files to an SD card to use in a projector.

If you have a projector that reads SD cards, then that seems perfectly reasonable to me. What makes it a "bad idea"? I do the same thing for SD cards that I then use in a picture frame.
