Hi Thomas,

In fact I started thinking of it by explaining to my mother (grandma-like
because of the age diff) how to get the photos from her brand new
smartphone and get them in her computer... No way... But then I realized it
is pretty common for all age-users have similar problems, not to say keep
things tidy, which rarely happens and ends up bulking TONS of gigs that
will never be used again... The problem is that it takes time and effort at
the end of the day...

So, why not automating the annoying part of the history? Once organized,
the file and folder abstractions, present in most people's mind, either in
a local browser of in a web browser will do the rest and you will be able
to browse media that makes sense, not just infinite plain folders
containing kilometers of thumbnailed (ages to generate them by the way) and
date-filename files...

Glad to see I was finally capable of explaining the concept correctly!!!

Somebody else there sharing opinion?

Thank you all very much for your time! ;-)
