What's new

I know you'd understand

I'm a kit scrapper so your way is not good for me! ;) And, I don't do that deep of tagging. I resisted any tagging until the last couple of years. I tried tagging parts of kits and it was so overwhelming that I just went to tagging the preview for the kit.

I still use Picasa as well so if I do want say a "push pin", I can search for it and find one. Very rare that I do this though.

hahaha - this just shows how our brains all work so differently. I am primarily a one-kit scrapper too. I label my folders “kit name - designer name”, so when I search it is using their full name, not what they might use for each element that had their name in it. It really works for me - but I realize that most people don’t organize like that.

And, I have folders by designer name with the kit folder under it. Back when Scrap Orchard closed all I had to do was grab my folders for Bella Gypsy, Fiddle-Dee-Dee, Kristin Aagard and Scrapping With Liz and move them to the new store folder. And, that has worked for me since 2008. Some of my designer folders have moved several times since then!

It does usually but I can't find the database back up anywhere on my computer
 
So, I have to say Thank you Jennifer @littlekiwi ! Your ACDSee and Cheryl's experience has always made me a little weary of it. But it had worked okay for me. It didn't do things exactly how I wanted, but it was workable. After this post, I went out and looked again to see if there was something I'd missed. (I don't like having 2 Lightroom catalogs, and I don't like Bridge.)

I found something! And it has a pretty awesome color finder which is what I really want, to avoid tagging a ton! So, thanks for sending me out on a search. It has one thing I'm meh about, but overall it's great. I wouldn't have checked without your post.

It may have just been my very bad luck with it but I have no idea quite honestly. I'm sure other users don't have the same number of issues I did - I first thought it was down to just my old laptop but obviously not as I haven't used that for over a year now

Could you try organizing by theme instead of by designer? Like inside your TLP folder then have 'Baby' or 'Spring' or 'Summer', etc? I'm not sure how it works in Windows if you can change the folder image - it's what I do on my Mac. Then when I open up the theme folder I see the previews naturally: (I add z- in front of kits I've already used to make them move down to the bottom of the folder)

I so wish Windows had tagging like the Mac. It was so easy and helpful. One of the things I miss most.
