The first part of your reply tells me I should look at Lightroom more
closely then. The second part of your reply I don't understand at
all... perhaps because I would never confuse a directory listing with a FAT.
But, since I've been considering a change to my structure (adding "year
directories to encapsulate all the entries for a given year since the
simple linear list is getting too long at 880 entries) I'm wondering
what I'd have to do in Lightroom when it could no longer find the
structures I told it I created.
