Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm looking at the possibility of
changing our photo management software. Thinking about Aperture
or Lightroom. And want to know if either supports:    1. Having
folders/libraries on separate harddrives/Volumes.   2. Tolerates
having network folders occasionally connected   3. Snappy
interface   4. A solid enough piece of software as not to crash
or behave weirdly. [ so the wife doesn't get stuck and have to
call me ;) ]   The wife is photographer and I'm the computer
programmer.  Our current setup is Picasa, with a
"Recent/Working" folder on the local iMac harddrive, and
"Archive" folders on NFS mounted Linux Server, Raid 5, for
redundant and extra storage capacity. (the Linux server also
syncs with Amazon's EC2)  Picasa is doing OK, but I get annoyed
when it doesn't do behave properly. Usually around issues when
the Linux disk isn't mounted. And overall, I wish Picasa seemed
a little more polished and snappier.  share|improve this
