Why, you ask?
Because I have all my photos in the tree structure which is similar to
category - albums structure of cpg.
And Iam using regular file browser (Total Commander or Krusader) do browse and then just hit
enter to start image viewer program (setted to fullscreen). Then I can easily and very fast browse my photos. Or start slide show inside one directory (like album) to view all the photos inside... But if there will be a lot of (for this moment) trash pictures like
thumbs_* and
normal_* or even
comment_* ... then the easy browsing will be unclear, chaotic... The slide show will show also all the
thumbs_,
normals_,... what I dont want. So, I want to have structure like
Inside the
support_files subdirectory can be any mixture of files (panorama source files backup, thumbs_, normals_, comments_, alternatives, ...), because I will never browse inside it by hand, only exeptionaly
if I need to do something special. This subdirectory could be (and I will do) set to
hidden attribut. Any help program like CPG will have acces only to this subdirectory and not to original one. It could prevent any accidential damage to original photos.
Its why I want to have sepparated subdirectory in every album. (.. you said.. which is also not bad idea - to have all these pictures in parallel directory structure - possibly on totally different harddisk... it will have some more advantages... but let it be for now... its just hypothetic option).
Iam open to any critique and I will welcome it... please, anybody feel free to your oppinion on this. May be I will chance my possition under the pressure of arguments.
Have a nice day ((-:
