Naming the files is not the issue. It's how the folders are arranged on the tree in the system that drives me nuts. I cannot see the whole tree at one time, nor can I see the sub-folders.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I have been running away from the computer to get spring work done both outside and inside.
Thank you for the suggestion. I did look at Gimp. I also looked at Pinta. I know I can learn to use both. Gimp does look powerful, but it certainly seems to have a longer learning curve than the one I was used to on my old computer.
I only use the photo editing to compensate for what is lacking in my old primitive digital camera. I truly want the camera to do the work and don't want to doctor my photos much. That's another learning curve for my newer camera.
I've learned the Linux file system so I can set things up the way I like them, so that is no longer an issue.
For now, I've been using my XP as a stand alone and using my old editing program and then transferring my photos over to the Linux. What a hassle.
I think as more people migrate away from Microsoft, there will be more options in the future. It's just right now, Gimp does seem to be the best choice, but it is an awkward software for me.
Again, thank you.
