heyas; using ! or 00 or whatever on the front of everything is for when you're working on stuff. hey, i keep all my in-progress cr2's in the 'people' library, cuz that's the one that's open first. (no, i dont keep my humans in there.) nobody wants to have to scroll here and scroll there to find stuff they have to load fifty times a day while they're working on it. i sympathize with you, really! but for heaven's sake, that is NOT the FINAL resting place for these things. when you FINALIZE the stuff, put it in REAL directories (and filenames). and that, by definition is not one that starts with ! or - or whatever. okay, there's a difference, there.
