I was looking at the list of pictures in my C:\Legacy\Pictures folder and am thinking about adding sub folders. I know about linking the pictures but am wondering if adding extra folders is getting a little too pedantic.... am I better off with a long alphabetical list? I have all these pictures backed up on a zip in family folders and wonder whether to duplicate this on Legacy. There are times when I have to think hard about the odd stray photo to remember which family folder to file it in - something that wouldn't happen with a long alphabetical list. BTW I know I could link from my backup zip but would prefer to use the Legacy folder.
Also naming the pictures, has anyone experienced problems with commas, spaces or "&" in the names? I'm thinking of future exports or webpages. There was a time when we were encouraged to use underscores instead of spaces, is this still necessary? My collection of pics is not too big at the moment and it would be a good chance to develop a new plan before the collection grows out of control. Interested in hearing ideas and suggestions on how others have handled this.
