Thank you all for your assistance. I'll have a play with these ideas over the next few days.

One other thought occurs. It seems to me I only need to link to ONE of the files in a directory to be able to see ALL the files in that directory when I issue the "Open Containing Folder" command. Does that open up the possibility of having a single linked "marker" file for each directory? I can then change the directory contents in any way I like and need only preserver the marker file....

Photo solution found (maybe)
 

If you open a photo in, say, Microsoft Photo Editor (NOT paint tho, won't work), you can select an area of the photo, copy it, go to your database and paste it in a text item....

Now, there are lots of clippers (desktop image clippers) that could take a picture of your thumbnail in explorer, keep it as a .jpg, then to the trick above....
(A desktop image clipper is a program that let you select an area of your dekstop and clip it, instead of the Prt Scr that takes an image of the whole desktop)

VoilÃ*.

Just an idea.

Tom, thanks for that. Yes, I find that a good way to do things too, and often paste into a note using CaptureWizPro.

Of course, what I would really like is native thumbnails within UR, so that UR can be used as a media (as well as at text) library.

I think that if UR is to be a hold-all for everything, it must include photos, and if so, they must be thumbnailed....
