The most interesting thing (I feel) about lightbox is the ability to catalogue/search on keywords. But I have a couple of questions. Do i really need to do a 14MB download for that capability? Secondly, is it possible for the software to automatically catalogue the images, say based on the caption description? I find it quite redundant that I would type a caption and then have to choose and select keywords for an image... So far I've found IrfanView sufficient for my purposes (fast previews, NEF handling, lossless rotation, thumbnails, basic editing for the thumbnails) and just use a directory structure to manage the catagories...
