photo managing/organizing software ?

[flexy]

i tried picasa, acdsee, thumbsplus.

EVERY single one of those programs has a problem.

-->
I REALLY like picasa, but it ignores my file-structure (subfolders etc.). I need a software which displays thumbs like picasa - BUT ONLY the thumbs in THAT specific folder.

It should NOT display anything else. It SHOULD also seperate the visual display of the thumbs (eg. like picasa already does)/

Eg. if i click on a folder "pics 2005" it should display ALL (incl. subfolders) picture-thumbs in that folder.

Picase does NOT do that

===>
ACdsee does NOT allow showing recursive subfolders AT ALL (or do i miss something ?) It only shows what is in root and shows an ICON for any subfolder, bit i have to CLICK on the folder to open it so it reads in thumbs.

I need ALL thumbs for any specifies folder incl. subfolders

==>
Thumbsplus basically DOES this......BUT it puts all the thumbnails on the screen and does not SEPARATE the pics according to what folder they're in.

If i have a folder with thousands of pictures and hundreds of subfolders it just throws ALL thumbs on the screen.

ALso, thumbsplus is EXTREMELY (and i mean: EXTREMELY) slow in reading my folders...and i have a high-end machine.


What else can i try ?

thanks for all your input !

have you tried adobe's free photo album software?

It may be what you are looking for.

I use several - Thumbs Plus Pro ver. 7.0 (it does show thumbnails by selected folder!) - Jasc/Corel PhotoAlbum 5.0 - Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0, and good old HiJaak 5.1 (still great for batch conversions.)

Also, Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.5 does all that as well. So, I use the one that best does what I want to do. The one that comes closest to doing it all the way I like is PhotoAlbum 5.0.

yeah but playing around it looks it shows only the thumbs in THAT folder...and not in any other subfolder, except when i click on it to open the subfolder.
I have folders with HUNDREDS/THOUSANDS subfolders which again have subfolders etc....and clicking on each subfolder and opening the thumbs is impossible.

I will also check the Jasc Album program - until now i tried a bunch of programs.

ONE program i found and i am still checking and evaluating...is PhotoMesa...which does EXACTLY what i want from what i see

thanks for your help !
