  pull the pictures up one at a time and save to your PC – sorry no short cuts to glory on this – and often requested feature but no such luck so far – no export media function

  sorry

  I will flag this for the staff – they will tell you the same thing, unless one of them is willing to send you a disk on their own time – but they can also put a mark on the wall or something for yet another request for a media export function

  You are so right. Normally I do save all my pics double times. But this pics I was using and pimping via lightroom. So they where in the catalog of the program and I saved them as well but they are gone. I do not understand why, but I can not find them anymore. if I open the LR Catalog now, it is not working. Seems kind of destroyed.

  Well thanks anyway for your response. Hopefully someone of the team will get in touch with me. PLEASE :-) Thanks.

  Technically, you can export your media files (but into an XML file) – you would go to:

  purpuravida.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  Select tools, and then Export. On the Export screen, you can select just media. It will create and download an XML file. There are utilities out there that can convert your XML files into the image files.

  I’ve never done it, so I can’t say whether it will work, or how well it will work, but it might be worth a shot.

  And we will put a mark up on the wall for requesting a media export function…

  helper-brucea – thanks for the mark on the wall – this feature is often requested – and with blogs living longer and PC’s being replaced quicker – pictures are easy to loose track of – then add more people posting from mobile devices and pictures get even more scattered in the places they are stored
