Country:  | I really should organize mine better. Right now I have them in two folders: Pre 1945 and Post 1945. Not much of a breakdown.  |

Country:  | If I had it that way, I would never find anything. My WWII folder is plit into countries, the manufacturer, with separate folders for each plane. So to find my hellcat pics, I go to
my pictures/airplanes/wwii/us/grumman/F8f Hellcat.
Kind of crazy, but it's the only way I can keep them organized and find anything.

Country: | I have them arranged alphabetically and by model/mark numbers within the folders, but it still takes a while to find exactly what I'm looking for. | |

| Thats the same way I have mine organized. For a lot of countries and planes though I never really had any interest in them so I've got hundreds of folders for them with like 1 or 2 pics in each

Country: | I have a few like that too, JCS, but I can't think of any other way to find them. I am starting to arrange some of them by serial numbers so that they are easier to find. I often find a cool story about a particular plane and rather than to create yet another subfolder, I rename the file with the serial numebr first.
I used to do alphabetical too, NS, but it got too big and unwieldy. I like to keep things smaller in the main directories. But to each their own. If I had my drothers (What the hell is a drother anyway?), I would have a software that catalogued all the photos and made them available for viewing. There would be a database with it so you could really doa some granular searching and all that.

Country: | I'm not defending my way of doing it. I've just been too lazy to bother arranging them better, but I really should. My folders are getting huge. | |

Country: | There are probably a number of ways to do it, neither right nor wrong. It pretty much boils down to what works for you. Your way did for me for awhile. Maybe I should just not be such a digital pack-rat!

Country:  | Hmmm, individual folders for each plane. That could help

| Sorry guys, but you have to catch up a bit -
I have 2.11 Gigabytes of aircraft info containing 14,306 files across 273 folders!!
theyre made up of mostly WW2 aircraft broken down into countries airforces, then the individual aircraft e.g RAF, supermarine spitfire, Luftwaffe Bf109 etc. subdivided into images, docs, media (sound & movies), lineart & profiles.
i'm still trying to break it down further into individual squadrons etc. but it will take me ages!!

Country: | I had to add some more folders to mine about a month ago, as I've been saving a lot more pics. Now to get to the pics I'd have to go to: Pictures/Planes/World War 2/Regia Aeronautica/Bombers/Piaggio P.108/P.108B/Pictures.
Its a pain though when I'm saving pictures, having to go through all those folders.

Country: | i still stand by my way, i have my lancaster folder with 250+ images, with 4 folders for modern lancs and profiles, the others are all just loose, but because of the alphabetical order and the fact most pics start with the plane's mark, they're in order of mark, and i have about 10 random pics of other aircraft in my pictures, which i've only kept because i like, it's mush simpler to organise your pics, when you don't have any

Country: | My way sucks, but it's just because I can't be bothered to sort them all out at this point.
Man, I've got pics I've long forgotten about. I'm sure I've got duplicates of half of them. Maybe triplicates in some cases. | |
