Greetings,
I thought I knew how to do this, but it isn't working out.
I'm making a stack that will help me practice identifying birds. One card per

The database suggestion is reasonable, but I never learned how to use a

database!
I want to be able to see multiple photos of the same bird at the same time, to

If you want to stick with what you are familiar with, just to get the

As a side note, I designed the UI XML system used for Oblivion and Fallout 3

Importing images and/or using imageSource will make a very big stack!
