And this is the weakness in all photo sorting schemes (human schemes that is). Some people try organizing folders, others try tagging. Neither system works that well. Tags sound good in theory, but in practice they suck almost as much as folders. Actually all tag-based indexing systems suck, even for things like ebooks and music. Keeping tags consistent is difficult, and making them complete is impossible. Maybe computer vision will ease this difficulty, but I kind of doubt it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
