Any luck with the ploader with casio camera? I lost my disk and a virus destroyed my program and Casio wants $15 to replace it. I have a Casio qv-8000sx which I bought new after w2k was out and it is not w2k compatiable.. not that Casio cares!!..

Nope, no luck. I guess I'll just have to write my own utility and figure out the structure of the file byte by byte or something. Amazing how Casio's customer support sucks as loud as it does.....

Amen, Casio sucks!!! But you can try to contact Glen at and I no longer need the photoloader from Casio. I am free and that program is free and better than Photoloader!! Now if I can just learn how to use the camera and get a decent photo shot I will finally be one happy camper. Always Cosma, sitting in Tulsa,OK playing with her camera!!..

Amen to Glen being "the best" He was the only person at Casio that was able to help when I needed assistance. Over and over, I wrote and told them that their engineers were pretty sharp, and that I loved the camera QV2000but that customer service was going to lose them business...

I got a response back from someone a long time ago, but it wasn't anything about the file format.. I still need to know that information...

I moved my image library last week from the old version of Photo Loader to the current 2.1.8E version. I also wanted to make a few changes (add a few images, remove a few, alter libraries, reorder them etc.) but PhotoLoader isn't up to the task. So I looked at ploader.qvs with a hex editor, determined that it's a simple serialisation of two classes (multiple instances of each) and wrote a program to edit the file. It will be a MS.Net Windows application, and I'll give it away as freeware if someone tells me where to host it so that Casio users can get it. I didn't attempt to reverse-engineer the software, as that's against the license agreement, but the data file is fair game. I'm sure Casio won't mind, as anything that makes a Casio digital camera easier to use is only going to increase sales for them!.

(Give me a few days to polish and test the program before I release it.)..

Cool! You could always set up an account on yahoo and use the free web page set up that you get with the account at www.geocities.com. Users could download it from there. I would like to be a beta tester. You can email me at ...
