How to submit multiple GT photo submissions in one folder

[theemightyorbit]

I've been submitting this year's GT photos after each day's ride.

I've found it's just easier to get stuff sorted and out to the rallymaster ASAP.

At first I was submitting each pic as a separate attachment, which works fine, but ends up creating more work for both the rallymaster and I.

One day I collected 17 bonii and ended up sending multiple emails to get all that stuff to the rallymaster.

Eventually I remembered how to create a zip file, which reduces pic submission time substantially.

So, how do we do this?

Simple, really.

After a day's ride, I create a folder on my computer named for the day, like 'May 6, 2025' or 'June 8, 2025' and download all the day's pics into that folder.

I then sort through those pics, saving the best in a new folder named 'May 6, 2025 submission pics' or 'June 8, 2025 submission pics'.

I crop and resize those pics to a maximum 2000 px width or height size and rename them to meet the town, establishment, and rider number requirements.

After all that I'll have a folder with the correctly sized and named pics ready for submission.

Unfortunately, you can't send that folder to the rallymaster as an attachment.

There's one more step to carry out before you can submit that folder, tho, and that's to create a compressed, or zip, folder which can be attached to the email you send to the rallymaster.

To do that, follow the instructions at the link below...

That compressed folder will have the same name as your original folder, and it attaches to your submission email just fine.

Too, by compressing the folder, you reduce that folder's overall MB size.

Understand that there are limits to the file/folder size you can send via email.

Most email services limit attached file/folder sizes to 20 to 25 MB.

Gmail is 25 MB, as are Proton and Yahoo.

Outlook is 20 MB.

I've found that I can easily fit a day's submission pics into that compressed folder without a problem.

The most pics I've submitted via a zipped folder is 14, and I had room in that folder to spare.

The rallymaster has said that this method makes it easier for him to log the pics as well, so it's a win-win for everyone involved.
