ReadyNAS with Canon ZoomBrowser EX
I would say readyNAS performed quite well, as a photography enthusiast I work with many DSLR cameras such as the Canon 350D, 30D, 1Ds and sometimes Nikon D70. For nearly everything I take i take in RA...
I too was very frustrated by this, and was on the verge of giving up when I thought that a symbolic link might be the solution - and it was, for me at least.
In Windows 7 (and, I understand, Windows Vista, but not, I understand, Windows XP), plus no doubt in other operating systems, you can create a symbolic link, which is like a shortcut to another folder but which appears like a subfolder.
I did the following in Windows 7:
1. Open a Command Prompt with administrator rights (in the Accessories menu, right-click on Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator').
2. Navigate to the folder you want your shortcut to be in. (I went to c:\Users\Luphen\Pictures)
3. type the following:
mklink /d "NAS photos" "\\network path"
where 'NAS photos' is the name you'd like the folder to appear as on your PC, and 'network path' is the full network path to the relevant folder on the NAS (or other PC).
4. That's it.
Zoombrowser is now happy to see photos in c:\users\luphen\pictures\nas photos and thinks that they are on the local drive, so allows deletion, editing, etc.
