Thanks, I save for possible future use.
I'll pass along another "trick": you can have a lot of files, like photos, organized in any way, and the same bunch hardlinked to another set of names and directories using an altogether diferent method. The files are not duplicated, it doesn't need more space, it is just the directories and files names which are redone.
So, you might have an structure with the original names, another with dates, another with travels, another with people... the hard thing is getting an script or something that creates the organization.

Now that is a great idea as well. What prompted this now was my current push to get all 8000 files in my family gallery2 album. I know gallery 2 doesn't care what the names are, but the gibberish names drove me nuts every time someone would say, "Hey can you shoot me a copy of the picture from the lake last October?" I simply want to do: echo "here it is" | mail -s "the picture" address -a filename, done. So before I started putting everything in gallery, I wanted a good logical structure to deal with. Gallery2 essentially does exactly what you are talking about for photos on the local server. You have the option when adding photos to an album 'from local server' to check the file name and check create as link. Another great feature of gallery2. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
