I have a dental office that has always used Picasa to import patient images from their camera. Picasa is nice because it's simple, they are used to it, it organizes everything by patient name very simply in the navigation pane. I know Picasa has been discontinued since 2016 but it's worked for them, until now, they are starting to have issues with it.
Basically I install Picasa, go into the Folder Manager, remove all of the folders for scanning, then add their Patient Photos folder which is X:\Patient Photos - and then change the default import location to X:\Patient Photos - Picasa then scans the folder and adds all of the patients into the photo manager.
They do not use Picasa for any photo editing, just photo management.
The primary issue is that the import path started reverting back to it's default location (Local My Pictures) instead of X:\Patient Photos, then it needs to be manually changed back regularly as it starts importing to the local My Pictures folder all on it's own.
There are many reasons why I this may be happening including the "Import" computer they are using only connected via WiFi.
They have a significant amount of photos in this location, somewhere in the range of 5000 folders (or Patients), with 10's of thousands of actual Patient photos.
Is there a Photo Manager out there you recommend that will allow us to "Scan" similar to how Picasa works, maintain our current folder structure, and easily import from their camera?
