there was also a message on nikon .nef files recently along similar lines.  I liked the idea about 'folding' similar/related images 
together, but does seem like the easiest way to do this might be based on matching file names.  in moving my image collection to kpa I am 
running across some issues I believe to be related:

- .mov, .mpg, .avi video files produced by some of my cameras aren't found by kpa (they aren't photos of course!)
- folder use doesn't seem to be extensively supported; I tried changing folder settings on a set of images hoping they would be moved, but 
it didn't happen.
- it seems like the file delete would be safer if it could be configured to instead move the files to a dir somewhere outside of the one kpa 
is working with (a.k.a. trashcan)?

perhaps part of a solution would involve configurable actions based on file extension - "don't show", "move to blah/blah", "use 
external program", maybe some others?

just and idea...
