In any case I do not want a piece of software putting files of it's choice not mine so i still imported files without moving them from locations i wanted them in. LR2 I found less easy to navigate using keywords than LR1 so I stopped using keywords on import after I got LR2. I want to search pictures by looking in the folders I put them in. It seems that is no longer easily done. However good LR3 is I couldn't be bothered to relearn yet another different way to use it for the third time. Life is too short to waste it away with bollocks like this.
