Wayne, It depends on what format you are going to store your files in.
Using the Explore program, create folders and sub-folders based on catagories
that you define.
Each sub-folder is files in that catagory. And under those are sub-files for
that catagory and so on. I have files as far as 6 steps deep, but they are
still easy to find.
The trick is to be disciplined when you file and make sure you name everything
descriptively. That makes retreival simple.
Sample:
My photos- All Flies
All Fishing Flies
Saltwater flies
Inshore patterns
Shrimp pattrns
Kinky-fiber patterns
Swap-flies- shrimp swap 2009
This is just a sample, and each folder and subfolders can number as many
catagories as you want. I have about 300 catagories between Fantasy Flies,
Fishing Flies, Web-site files, DVD files, etc. I have over 5000 photographs
stored.

Subject: [VFB] RE: fly pattern database/scrap book
Hi All;
I recently acquired a Pansonic toughbook CF-18 computer and plan on
using it for hobby stuff, primarily fly tying/fishing.
Anyone store patterns on their computer? If so, how do you do it and
what software do you use?
One idea I have is creating a pattern book for events I visit, such as
Sow Bug. My wife recently made a cookbook of my daughter's college soccer
team tailgate recipies and had it published as a spiral cook book. It worked
really well and was well recieved by others.
