Shel,
It depends on what you want the program to do. Breeze browser is great
(I own a copy) for sorting out images viewing directories and such like.
ACDSee and Thumbs plus and even the browser in Photoshop Elements are
databasing programs which load data on all the images viewed store
keywords and let you look across directories at different images. And
they can store thumbnails for off line viewing. But for simply viewing
a directory of images they are horrible and slow.
I have a separate Microsoft Access database which stores data on all my
images including 4000 odd slides which aren't scanned into the PC, so I
don't need the databasing side of the other programs.
I also use Breeze systems Downloader Pro. It's terrific for downloading
images from your cards and adjusting names to something more meaningful.
And after 10000 shots you will want to start changing the name all the
time so you don't have double ups that may copy over each other.

Hi Gang ....
Bruce Dayton turned me on to Breeze Browser, a nice little program for
organizing and working with files. I like it quite a bit.
My free evaluation is about to expire, and I realized I've not done any
comparison shopping. I'd like to check one or two more programs before
opening my wallet. Any suggestions, or thoughts on what to stay away from?
BTW, I really like Breeze Browser, and would have no problem recommending
it as a good choice ... I just have to see what else is out there.
