That is what I do. It got more difficult to do when I got Lightroom, since 
it wants to do something else, though I have no idea what it is. Since 
upgrading to Lightroom 3 about 1000 recent pictures have gone missing. I can 
find them on my hard drive, thankfully, and I can try reimporting them, but 
Lightroom tells me they are already imported. If they are I am f*cked if I 
can find them from within Lightroom. However good the rendering etc may be I 
am not sure I want to persist with Lightroom. Every time I manage to get it 
the way I want it the "upgrade" changes the way the screen and files are 
laid out and I can't find any of my pictures.
I have been mega frustrated by Lightroom, it took me ages to get v1 laid out 
the way I liked it and v2 completely changed all my setting to a new 
standard layout which I did not like and never got quite as useful (to me) 
as v1 had been. Lightroom 3 has, it seems screwed my system even more 
royally than v2 did. There are good features and it works well technically, 
but the file handling and screen layout just do not suit me at all. 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
