photos and organizing (3.00 / 0) (#2)

I see the problem....I've started solving this
for myself...but one just has to discipline
theirselves to organizing.
There are plenty of good programs, like windows
photo gallery, that you can organize....even now
you can go thru your files ...capture each one...
put it in a catagory...there are captions, tags
once you get back on track you can put your pics
in your own PC and photo gallery and start uploading to here from there....thats what computers are for....so you don't have to write
names on scraps of paper...
   Well back to practicing what I'm preaching.

You have lost me Norm,
I have one and a half times as many files as you have, and yours seem to be as random as mine.... I'm finding it hard to see the "organisation" you describe in your file list, it looks as disjointed as mine.... just way smaller.

In IRC you can put them into albums, and organize them there (as I have done), is that the kind of thing you are suggesting?.... I just fail to see the connection to the problem here??

Or put differently, I am at a loss to see how organising them somewhere else helps you to select them from a shambolic list is the file selection window

"There are plenty of good programs, like windows
photo gallery"....... happily I don't use windows for anything other than protel99se... and even thats rare.

I'm lost again... but thanks for trying Norm

You're right in that respect...It is a mess but
if you know what you're looking for if you give
the files a unique name...or at least have them
in some kind of organized gallery that you can know
exactly the name. I went to your photo files
(150 found)....knowing the file name was partcut
I ran down the list and found it in 20 seconds.
Still it is a pain isn't it?
 sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I use a bandsaw, I can only use it on something
no wider than 4 inches....but for me that would
be a big blade anyhow......

Your better than me Norm, I knew the name, but took three attempts to find it. In the end I figured it just wasn't there so used the files page, used the find in firefox to get an idea of it's position in the file list and found it that way... went back into the drop down and found it then.

Your recognition faculties are obviously better than mine.... or it was a lucky find :)
