This method is simple enough for even me to use but I can now see I will ultimately have to bring these images into LR so I can keyword them, or at least so I can rename the folders. Or maybe I'll rename the folders before I bring them into LR. I can't believe I've got this many images in this many folders with no way of telling what is where. What was I thinking? I guess I wasn't. --Bob
