Hi Rick, I've used Extensis Portfolio for years. Also used the older version of ACSee and, while very good, it did not provide all the relational data needed. Several years ago, I worked with programmers at Ken Cook Company to develop a Graphics Tracker (http://www.kencook.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=88:graphics-tracker&catid=25:the-project). The KCC product is especially useful for the equipment industry and a fine, hosted product.
Right now, I'm developing an image gallery in a Confluence wiki. Some functionality is built-in but not enough!
