I would like to store it once and link to it.

For example:

I have a folder "by date" and album "January" and another folder "by place" and an album "Brussels". I would like "pic1" to show in both album.

thanks.
Yves.

I think it sounds like what you really want is categories and category based browsing not upload to multiple folders. Weblogger has this sort of browsing now and I think it would be a great thing to add to photo-album.

Of course it's a non-trivial amount of work to add and the kludgey fix (upload to multiple folders) would be an easier change to make in the very short term.

Yes Jeff; it will be a great thing indeed to have the categories working as in weblogger.

I thought that in the meantime it would maybe easy to "map" a cr object to multiple folders.

Would this be also interesting for file storage?

thanks
