I just bought a new computer and decided to transfer all my pictures to the new computer from my flash drive. When the pictures were down loaded I noticed that many had been put in the wrong date folders. Really all over the place even in different years. Is this normal or did I do something wrong.

Need more info:
Were they in folders on your flash drive?
What procedure did you use to transfer? Windows copy and paste? Picasa import? or …

It has been awhile since I made the copies. I am not sure which I used to copy. I have copied to both CDs and Flash Drive. The ones to the CD copied as the folders were on the computer and when I loaded them back into the computer it looked correct. Then I imported using the Flash Drive and that is when everything went wrong. I made sure that the duplicate box was checked and even tho I did some still copied. Would this be because of edits? All of this was done on the old computer. I wish I could remember I was so new at using Picasa that I must of done something wrong. Your videos are really a great help and I hope that in the future I will be able to straighten out the mess I made. The reason I wanted to load them onto the computer is to back them up on the new external hard drive. I haven't done that yet.
