Godfrey ============ Er, cough, er, yes, Godfrey. I get all that -- the difference between the library and OS folders. I just needed to print out your post because it was dense to read, not because I don't get it. Although you may have forgotten, I am computer programmer. I may not know assembly language, and I may not understand some hardware things, like how a RAID card works, but I am highly highly computer literate. Although maybe it will help someone else. :-) Okay, it seems Lightroom will not behave the way I want when it comes to subdirectories. I made the mistake of not importing the top directories, although Lightroom didn't seem to allow me to. But I imported my Elements 5 catalogue and that is probably how top directories got skipped. I would prefer that subdirectories pictures only show in the subdirectory film strips not in the top directory film strips. The way Lightroom currently works, it makes my subdirectory structure sort of useless. So I guess I will have to make all subdirectories top directories. I already see two features that I wish Lightroom had. 1. An option/preference that can be selected to make pictures only show in subdirectory folders, not top directories. 2. A batch synchronize folders routine. Where one can pick out a HD or a top directory and have Lightroom synchronize the whole thing. Import pictures added since the last time the batch synchronization has been run. In my current library setup, for instance, my drive J is not at the top level. If I could have drive J at the top level (with no film strip), then I could click on it and synchronize folders and it could synchronize the whole drive. So some way to do a batch synchronization like that would be nice. Thanks for your answers though, you answered my questions in your first post.
