It's a good start, Ed. I don't even want it to be a cataloguing program. I
don't even want help with the keywords, tags etc because Lightroom puts
that info in a database, not in the file, where it should be. That means
if I ever move my file, the database starts getting full of junk and I
have not use for it anyway.

I think the key to remember is what you pointed out: Lightroom never
thought that your pictures would already be on a hard disk. The assumption
is that you will be offloading a camera or a memory card.

Now ... if you are NOT doing that ... things become counter intuitive and
very, very fragile, since moving things outside of Lightroom will
presumably corrupt the database (that is ok with me. It is just in the way
anyway).
