As a matter of fact, it's a free-form structure. The categories, subcategories, sub-subcategories (you get the idea) aren't known, that's part of why I need them to go into a DBI database. I know this isn't the best approach to do it. I also thought of using folders instead of names in the images: clocks/vert/red/001.jpg. But this would take some time since it's 250 megabytes worth of images. Oh well. I'll do whatever I have to do. Thanks again.
