[snip] I'd have to assume that you have need to work on photos *outside* of iPhoto? Otherwise, create your organization scheme *within* the program (left-hand pane; similar to playlists in iTunes) and all should be well. If you *on occasion* need to use a pic outside the program, just export it. If you need to work a lot outside the program, use something else (graphic converter, for example). It'll let you organize outside the program to your heart's content, then treat you to unrestricted browsing within. -- Non Illegitimi Carborundum -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iPhoto (was: screen sizes vs. reality)
Uh, correct me if I am wrong but iPhoto does, be default) store all photos by date, at least mine does :-) However you could use a program called iPhoto Buddy that allows you to have separate directories for whatever you want. I use it and have currently around 20 root directories with names that mean something but under that it is all iPhotos standard naming by date. Only issue I don't like is having to close iPhoto to change to another library.

Iphoto, at least in the current version, makes all kinds of folders within folders that appear to have nothing to do with organizing pictures. There are folders for thumbs, and cryptic names to these folders and the folders inside them.

I honestly don't care for the way iTunes does it either, but since I download music and manage the playlists on two iPods, it is a necessary evil. While I never liked Windows Media Player, I did like that its playlists, rather than text or whatever files, could be the contents of a folder on my PC. I'm sure iTunes has a way of doing that too, but like iPhoto, it just sorted my music the way IT wanted to the first time, and it has stayed that way.

Re: iPhoto (was: screen sizes vs. reality)
And don't forget that the arcane file structure of iPhoto makes it more difficult to store those pictures off the hard drive. I have all of my 2002 and older photos on a single DVD (with a duplicate of that DVD just in case). I upgraded to a 5MP camera in 2003, so I use a few more DVDs, but once I have about 3.5-4GB worth of photos on the hard drive, I like to offload them, keeping the recent ones on the hard drive.
