this is how i have been trying to organize all my downloads. whenever i download something, i download it first: 1. because sometimes the file is not even there, because of bandwidth exceeded or bad link, or whatever. 2. to see what the actual filename is. sometimes the thumbnail image is totally different from the file name and it makes it harder to go back later and figure out which thumbnail goes to what zip or exe. I sometimes change the filename, but usually not. But i always try to make my thumbnail reference the same as the file. Now...using ACDsee, I can see all my downloads. I have a folders Poser1 through Poser 11 so far and each folder i try to keep at 200 images. The folders usually run under 5mb. ACDsee also lets you compress them...so even less disk space. I have folders for my purchases. Poser Purchases 1, 2, 3, etc...with thumbnail images and zip file in same folder. Then, I have folders for each site I love to visit. Ex... Sams3d, Poserworld, Mecom4d, Propsguild, etc... Now i am trying to go back and organize even more one day at a time by putting characters, props, morphs in their own folder and subfolders of what kind of character, prop, morph, etc. This will take a long time, i'm sure. But it will be easier for me to backup and restore files from a CD i burn, if i needed to... Also, I'm thinking about making a catalog of my downloads and printing them out on hp glossy paper and putting them in a pretty binder. Then, i can clear up allot of space on my hard drive by just burning stuff to a CD. If i dont want to fumble through allot of Cds, i can just choose a binder to browse through which will tell me what i have and where it is (what cd, etc) and if i am on a road trip, i would like to take my binder with me since i will be away from my computer and going through poser and renderosity withdrawel. having my binders, is like having a book. it gives me something to do. looking at the images in a car gives me ideas of scenes i want to do or whatever and keeps me occupied. (a.d.d.) i have acdsee zip, too. it allows you to see what is inside a zip file. really neat! Another really cool feature is SENDPIX. It allows you to share images with anyone on their server for 30 days.
