Re: Nice method....

I never clear my cards by reformating them unless it has become essential.  Maybe that has a bearing?

I cut and paste files off the cards to a PC.

I am still fooling around on the iPad but I think that, while all this effort is good and works well, in reality I have never found that it was that complicated.  The only time I got lost was when I was swapping more than one card into a camera.  At this point my numbering sytem became quite confused and I had trouble making it behave again.  But subsequently one card dedicated per camera body has worked fine.  I use 32Gb cards and doubt if this will ever become a problem.  A trip away for a little while produced 3,800 images and two cards covered this easily.  If I had ever put the camera away then a more sensible level of image production would have easily fitted on one card. I have the idea that card in camera is less likely to get lost and camera as extension of one's arm is guarded very well.
