Hi :) My main point was that all different ways work. The 'best' or 'correct' way is simply whichever you choose to use, or like using, or feel comfortable with. To quote The Levellers "There only one way of life, and that's your own"
That's one reason i prefer OpenSource. It allows you to keep using your own way and doesn't keep forcing you to learn new ways or change radically. (Although installing Cinnamon or Mate to stick with Gnome and avoid the Unity interface in Ubuntu might be a pain but at least the option is there, to go back to the old ways) It's nice to have other options to explore and some might even be 'better' for a particular purpose but only if you are happy enough using them. Thanks for letting me know why i prefer the options i do. I hadn't thought about it but that is exactly the way i usually use images.
