FWIW I've had no trouble with using the gallery for large collections. I've imported the entire open clipart library with no hassle. Yes it took some time but felt this was more due to PC speed than directly to OOo.
I've also just done a test on this old machine I'm on at the moment and searched for all objects on a drive, then loaded them into a newly created theme. Whole process took 10 mins end to end for 1887 objects. I bet it would be a little time consuming if you have 100-200k items (as per the previous poster) but anything would take a little time with that amount of items. Also agree that cataloguing (ie, using meta names, or adding tags etc...) may be improved and if someone is after that possibly a request for enhancement should be raised. /paul On 8/29/06, Jonathon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If descriptive theme names are used, it _can_ work. But it doesn't make for good digital art management. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
