You are nuts!

Why, yes... I am! Thank you for noticing.

But, I'm still not jumping out of any freakin' airplane!

If you can get yourself to hang glide you can jump out of a plane

I am amazed. I'm trying to get my mind around the concept of a seemingly sane person jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. You have impressed me, Omar.

Truth. He needs no encouragement.

I know a guy who's into hang gliding. After watching some of his videos and photo galleries, I think I just might be brave enough to try that. I'm still not ready to jump *out* of a plane, though...

Jumping from a plane in fright, er, flight?

Some would say there's no such thing as a "perfectly good airplane". All of them have either found themselves climbing down trees they never climbed up, or are going to . . .

Makes me want to jump out of a plane too.

Actually I would anyhow, but more-so after seeing that.

So I have the love-hate relationship with Lightroom.

I love the layout for viewing pictures, and that I can look at RAW stuff.

But, I absolutely HATE how difficult this thing is to use with different file folders. I like that it organizes stuff by date, but I cannot possibly remember the date of every thing I photographed. I want to be able to rename the folder, and then have Lightroom actually be able to "find" the folder.

Is there a way that I can use LR to view the contents of a folder without having to import anything?

You have pshop right?

Use Adobe Bridge. It's even nicer than LR3/4 for browsing images in folders and whatnot.

But.. if you want to use LR you should be able to go into the import function and browse that way, just without actually importing anything. I'll have to look to see if there is another way..
