When I copy my photos to my laptop, I put them in a folder structure like this: 2006 01_Jan 02_Feb 03_March And so on. I index them all with a piece of software called iView. Don't know if there is a PC version but I'm using it on a Mac with good results. As the harddrive gets too full, I can take a few months at a time and archive them to a DVD (two copies, please!) and an external harddrive. Sure there are duplicate filenames, but they are almost a year apart, and in different folders, so it doesn't matter. Any galleries/albums/websites that I construct with my photos are dragged into iPhoto and worked on there. But the "originals" (kind of like the negatives from the old days) stay in the YYYY/MM folder heirarchy permanently. -Charles -- Charles Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
