I've been looking for some old photographs on ancient CD's.
I know I should back them up onto another medium, but later I guess.
What have been doing is a *.jpg on each disk, quick look at the results in the hope of spotting the image I'm after.
Then I thought, it would be great if I cound save the results as an image. BAsically a contact sheet but as the images go beyond the page I cant capture. Windows search does not seem to report as traditional folder view.
Any thoughts or hacks you guys have done.
Print Screen button, paste into Word/Docs/Whatevs -> Scroll down a bit and repeat is probably your answer tbh.

you can print to PDF
You can change your folder view in search results too - in the menu bar click view, then choose the view you want (large or extra large icons maybe)
works a treat. perfect for what i need 🙂
I'm stepping out for while, I may be sometime. 1000 cd's later 😉
As @nbt suggested:
Windows
1) From “My Computer,” Highlight The Photos You Want To Print
If you want to make this easier, put all of the pictures you want to print in one folder. That way, you can highlight everything for your contact sheet instead of having to pick them out of the folder.
2) With The Photos Selected, Right Click, and Click “Print”
Having multiple photos selected is the real trick here because it tells Windows that you’re trying to print multiple images.
3) Customize Your Contact Sheet Settings
Now that you’re in the printing control panel, select the printer, paper size and type, and the number of copies you want to print
4) Select “Contact Sheet” In The List Of Print Sizes
This step tells Windows that you’re trying to create a contact sheet, so it automates most of the process for creating your contact sheet. It’s not as elaborate as what you can do in Photoshop or Lightroom, but it’s easy, and it more than suffices when all you need is a basic contact sheet.
5) Click “Print” To Start Printing
You’re almost done readying your contact sheet! However, there’s one more thing to toggle before you’re done.
6) Set The Printer Option To PDF, And Hit Print
Since the goal is to keep your contact sheet for use later, you should set your printer option to PDF instead of the regular printer. You can then print the PDF normally or share your contact sheet online.
Case closed 🙂
