Maybe group them by, uh, whatever seems convenient to give you a subfolder structure that you can collapse?
I use a strict YYYY/YYYY-MM scheme for storing my pictures, and a directory named “Current” that has the last 2 or three months. This works really well for me, but it’s a terribly individual choice. I have to tell Lr that no, I do not want it creating subdirectories on import. -T On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 2:41 PM, Mark Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: > George Sinos wrote: > >>I'm not sure exactly what you're asking Mark.
