Hi Aurora,

Thanks for sharing (though I see your post was directed to Richard) it's very timely, as I was just thinking of how to better organise my folders. I've recently resorted them but at the moment I only have:

Cartomancy
Oracle
Tarot (Full deck)
Tarot (Other)

Within each of the folders, my decks are named with a - N if they contain card notes.

Of course the Tarot (Full deck) is out of control so I was going to create sub-folders. Probably won't go into as much detail as you - don't think I have as many decks as you anyhow. But I was thinking that I wanted to somehow identify all of the decks that were, for example, Rider Waite Clones.

I did read some other posts about deck folder structures. I'd be interested to see how others users manage their decks.

regards
