My wife and I have a pile of digital photos that we have named accordingly.
My question:

How can we compile a list of these photos without having to type them into a
database or spreadsheet? Can we somehow transfer a folder's file names into
a database or spreadsheet?

There has been quite a discussion about this on rec.photo.digital.
You might want to re-ask this question there.

Useful little free program.
