Best approach to dealing with photos

[StephenUK]

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....
