I was talking about the originals. For instance, I wanted to upload a number of family photos to a geneology site, but I couldn't use the "alias" in iPhoto, I had to find each original photo in its actual hard disk location one by one. Finding imported iTunes files is a lot easier, if I want to send one to a friend. >> ... -- ++====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====+====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====++ ||Arnold VICTOR, New York City, i. e., <arvimideQ(a)Wearthlink.net> || ||Arnoldo VIKTORO, Nov-jorkurbo, t. e., <arvimideQ(a)Wearthlink.net> || ||Remove capital letters from e-mail address for correct address/ || || Forigu majusklajn literojn el e-poŝta adreso por ĝusta adreso || ++====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====+====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====++

You are right that photos have more factors of identification than a single sound file. But, if I decide on one keyword to identify the picture, it would be helpful to have the originals identified by that keyword together. For instance, I wanted to upload a couple of dozen family photos to a geneology site, but I had to upload them one by one, since they were scattered around by the multifarious dates when they were taken. -- ++====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====+====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====++ ||Arnold VICTOR, New York City, i. e., <arvimideQ(a)Wearthlink.net> || ||Arnoldo VIKTORO, Nov-jorkurbo, t. e., <arvimideQ(a)Wearthlink.net> || ||Remove capital letters from e-mail address for correct address/ || || Forigu majusklajn literojn el e-poŝta adreso por ĝusta adreso || ++====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====+====+=====+=====+=====+=====+====++
