Hi Tina,

Your last sentence is the exact problem that is not clear to me.  
After I move a file from "uncataloged" to the  "Cataloged" folder,  
now I want to cataloged those I've just moved, how, when I open the  
folder, do I know which have have not yet been catalogued? Do you see  
my question? I hope.

Michael
