My sentiments exactly. Unfortunately, it's all anyone's been able to
suggest so far.
What do you see as its shortcomings?
I've never actually used the program, I just see the results of one
photographer sending work to my PC based printer.
His CD's are to many directories deep, his files are renamed, and no longer
follow the digital camera filename protocol, and there will often be several
different files with the same filename buried in different directories.
Note that for my purposes, a file is an image file, since that is all I can
read off his CDs.
To be fair to iPhoto, the guy is totally computer illiterate, and really
doesn't want to know this stuff, but even with that in mind, there is still
the matter of seven directory deep CD's, which are not stable.
