That's simply the way it works. It's overly complicated, with multiple redundancies. There's a reason for all the complexity and redundancy, given that it's targeted at the consumer user who knows little about the underpinnings of how it works but will be seriously bent out of shape if they accidentally delete a favorite picture. You should tell your client about iView Media Pro, http://www.iview-multimedia.com . It is a much more capable image catalog/archive keeper and has functionality which is much more focused on the advanced amateur and professional user.
