And you have a way better memory than have I- or fewer images. In my experience, to have a viable search, one doesn't need to be clairvoyant in order to assign meaningful tags. And the time it takes to assign them is less than a search I'd have to do. -- john mcwilliams

They need to be tagged for sophisticated searching. All the tags can be in the directory and file names. -- Chris F.A.

That's no harder than adding tags to them all. -- Chris F.A.
