A couple of years ago I purchased Art Explosion. I have successfully
installed everything. In the past I added the new collection.

I have since had to move the Art explosion files.
I have successfully added it again.
Here is the problem. They do not show up in a search. Until you open the
sub folders and the thumb nails actually display.

I could go thru all the sub folders (thousands of them)
open each folder wait until all the thumb nails display the move on to the
next one.

There has to be an easier way

I don't think there is an easier way with Art Explosion. You could drag the
contents into a common folder, a lot of work. Irfanview has an utility that
creates thumbnails, but you still have to open each folder. It is free.
www.irfanview.com Download the plug-ins too.

The Organizer will go out and find your files, you can create a folder within
the Organizer and let the Organizer copy them over. Open the Organizer, File,
Add clips, On my own. Here again you will need to open each folder.

There are so many folders within the Explosion disks. Maybe just copying over
the files you use a lot is the solution.

is there an up grade version of clip organizer that can handle this.
Because this does not really provide a solution to the problem

I don't know how to advise you. If I remember correctly the Art Explosion
library had its own image viewer.

You might look into a batch conversion program.
