*_ph.* like 157895548MRKFds_ph.jpg are files that are resized by webshots so they fit into the 800x600 or 600x800 scheme. *_fs.* like 160329588pVrmKk_fs.jpg are the originals.

I too can't explain the numbering of webshots images but I think the date is included somehow. Although the name is long and consist of 9 numbers and 6 case sensitive characters I'm not sure they can guarantee unique filenames. But normaly it should work.

Webshots - I have a theory

I am sure many of us are suprised when we attempt to download and save a webshot, we get the msg that it already exists in our files.

In most cases we are reasonably sure that it does not. I put this question up before, and there were no responses. I always solve it by chosing to save and adding another character..a random strike on the keyboard.

I believe I have detected a common thread here. All of the webshots pix that bring up this save/no-save signal end in *,,,,ph." I have never figured out the arcane coding and numbering system used in webshots, nor do I intend to. But I now am reasonably certain that when I am told that the file is already in my folder, what I am being told is that a file with the ending "...ph" is in my folder, and it may or not be the image I am chosing to save. So I then do not chose to "replace" but merely add an additional character.

Thoughts, anybody?
