Hi Don; Are you creating fiolders and subfolders and then placing pictures in them? Or are you using some type of software to creat a pattern template of sorts? Wayne

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.

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.
