I always expect the weirdnesses to be a Larry Colen exclusive, at this point. ;-) > I know that there are people who claim that you don't need to sort the raw > files into meaningful directories, and that's just fine until you make a disk > of jpegs for someone who wants to find something without using lightroom. ?? Everyone needs to put the image files into some sort of "meaningful" directory structure. By date, by job, by category, by location, whatever. Lightroom's automation tools allow it to assemble the file repository into a date ordered structure. Beyond that, it can't know a better way to organize them automatically to suit your needs. I use a lightly tweaked date-based file structure. That lets me use the Lr automation as much as seems appropriate, and extend it as appropriate.
