I've never been able to throw out photos, even the 99% that are crap. It's not so bad with the digital stuff as the 2Tb of storage I have will probably last me forever, but I am still trying to convince myself to do something with all of my old prints. Cheers, Dave On Oct 1, 2014, at 2:11 pm,

In the words of Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, "Murder your darlings". Use that delete key and use it often. Get rid of your substandard (below *your* standards) shots and move on. The more you do this the better your work will become, the less you'll shoot and the less you'll need to delete.

u cannot queue tasks in LR (at least in LR 3.x and 4.x, don't know about 5.x). LR always runs the jobs in parallel, and if those jobs are similar in nature (different imports or generation of different web-galleries), it's inefficient, and occasionally LR gets stuck. Again, thanks
