Re: OT: Image database management

Todd,

Well, as we said in the begining, the borders of the topic are not 
real rigid, and you can't print your digital files if you can't find 
them.

So I guess it is on topic. Might be worth a Bookmark called "Image 
Management." Actually I am in exactly the same situation and in need 
of the very same thing only for Windows.

We have one good recommendation from Steadman. Perhaps we will get 
some more.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
