Yes, it is not necessary, I have seperate drives and folders flag for
checking. But for many starters it is easier to put all their image folders
inside a big folder to start with. Then change each sub-folders' setting
when required. I have less than 40K images to handle so setting them all to
"Scan Always" is still extremely fast.

I have no idea what LR is capable of but if she can manage her images with
LR just no need to try Picasa.

I have not start putting keywords at the moment, just tried a few images for
test purpose. My image folders are named by date, location or event, I can
do some simple search at the moment. It is a lot of work to put all those
key words on each image and it is hard to decide what key words to use.
