Now, at 13000 (after having to remove a ton from the catalog, something I did NOT want to have to do), it's hardly usable. I'll be interested to hear the results of your quest!

Your article was very helpful for me in deciding that, as neat as iphoto is featurewise, i'd rather just sort all my photos the old-fashioned way-- in lots of folders of my own making. The only thing I'm still stumped about is thumbnails! I can't figure out why some of my jpeg icons have instant thumbnails when I open a folder, why some have thumbnails that appear after a few seconds (or longer), and why some never end up showing thumbnails at all (forcing me to open them to see what the heck they are). I may sound like an idiot for not understanding the mystery of how thumbnails are generated and how they work in an OSX environment, but if there is any help you can offer me or a site where you can send me to read up, I'd greatly appreciate it! thanks, jason Thanks!
