Hi, hoping you can help me work out how to group files in a certain way.

Your software interface is the most efficient I have worked with and I hope it can be of use for my cataloguing.
I have a range of images which are in four sizes as the images have been taken at different times and saved as different sizes. I hope I can explain this clearly. The files are:
Size A files - Extra Large
20 unique 'extra large' images
Size B files - Large
30 unique 'large' images, plus a version of the 20 'extra large' images downsized to Size B. There are therefore 50 Size B files.
Size C files - Medium
30 unique 'medium' images, plus a version of the 20 'extra large' images downsized to size C, and a version of the 30 unique 'large' files downsized to Size C. There are therefore 80 Size C files.
Size D files - Small
There are 40 unique 'small' images, plus a version of the 20 'extra large' images downsized to size D, and a version of the 30 'large' files downsized to size D, and a version of the 30 'medium' images downsized to size D. There are therefore 120 size D files.
I want to be able to show thumbnails of all size D files and somehow make it possible when viewing the thumbnail to see what size the image is available in (ie.. is it just a size D file, or is it also available in Size C and/or B etc).
I suspect this may be able to be done through Image versions, but cannot work out how to group the existing, already pre-sized and named files.
Hope you can help
PS - everytime I open the software I get told there is a new version available even after I have clicked to update

Hi,

Have you considered using Categories ? since you can use exactly 4 per image then maybe they will give you a visual way to know what size exists for what image,

I'll check the upgrade thing (looks like an installer bug) you can download the latest version from this site and it will manually upgrade your version.

Hi Asaf

Thanks for that. Yes I have already done that with categories, but what I was hoping is to be able to access all sizes through MyPhotoIndex so I could copy and paste the versions I want into a folder. I seem to be able to do this with the indexed versions, but to access the other versions I need to do a manual search through my files.

Just a thought - be great to be able to able to drag images to the Share Folder and then save them as a folder on desktop or similar to zip and load to a usb or email.

Thanks for the speedy reply
