I bet you could get it to work both ways (seperate threads for each folder, or a single thread that checks all the folders one at at time). Once you detect that there are pictures in someone's folder, what do you do with them? Also I posted this short message about my first experiences with threading about a year ago, in case it helps: > - def a function that you want to get executed in a subthread > - create a new thread, feed it the name of the function above > - start the new thread > > at this point, you need not execute any further statements in your > program.
