The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard - Alternative?

Asked by basskozz in Digital Camera Software, Images & Photo Software, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard, Camara, Upload pictures, Photos, Upload Photos

I need to find an alternative to "Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard".
I work as a bonds man and we take pictures of every defendant that we get out of jail, and these pictures are vital. So I have a samba share (Ubuntu Server network mapped on XP machines as "X:\Pictures\") setup for users to upload photos to from our company camera. This share is backed up nightly to a remote server so that we will NEVER loose any photos (did I mention these photos are vital ;-) ). The problem I am having is that some times the staff mistakenly changes the default upload location from "X:\Pictures\" to "My Pictures" (this happens when the server is down, which is rare, but it does happen). So I need to find an alternative to "Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard" that will FORCE the staff to upload the photos to the correct directory (X:\Pictures\) and not let them change the upload directory FOR ANY REASON...

Anyone know of a User Friendly (for the staff to use) app that will do this?

Some other alternatives that I am looking into is;
1. Possibly using a Web Cam instead of a Camera. This way I can set the webcam up to force the upload directory. Any idea's on a good webcam to accomplish this?
2. Creating a web based uploader so that they will get uploaded/backed up via the web? Any OpenSource suggestions
i.e.
http://jalbum.net/
http://coppermine-gallery.net/
http://gallery.menalto.com/
http://www.phpalbum.net/

Which one?

Any idea's/comments/suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated.
