I have a number of variations on the same image, with slightly different names (Mt. Hood, Mt Hood_1, etc) that are scattered in different folders. I am sure I have duplicate some of the versions, so I would like to institute a search of all drives, all folders for images that start with the same common title and collect them into one folder for review. It appears that in the Browser, I will have to flag them manually first, and I suspect I will have to manually go to each drive to find them. Is there a better way in the Browser, or do I use Windows to accomplish this?

Thanks

Lawrence,

I would do this in Windows (F3) and copy or move the search results to a (temporary) folder. (Of course you can’t have two files with the same name in a folder.)

I figured so. I just thought to toss out the idea here.

Not having thumbnails outside the browser severly limits housekeeping.
