You say you tried to move the graphics to folders, but had

There isn't an inherent problem with having large numbers of
graphics in a subfolder. With RSC, it's usually the act of moving a
lot of files that is the problem, especially at the root level.

This is what we wanted to accomplish.
Project Files
-->Images (Folder)
-->Report Images (Folder)
reportImages.htm (This holds the references to the report
image so that is shows up in the project. We don't want this here,
but RH needs the image to be in a topic before it shows up on the
screen.)
image.jpg
-->Secretary Images (Folder)
secretaryImages.htm (This holds the references to the
secretary image so that is shows up in the project. We don't want
this here, but RH needs the image to be in a topic before it shows
up on the screen.)
image2.jpg
I thought we could just create the directory structure are
pre-load all the images into the correct location so that the users
could add them to their topics. I never realized that I would have
to create a topic, add the image, them move the image from the root
to the folder and hope SC syncs it correctly. Consequently, all
this back and forth moving of images from the root to the
appropriate directories is causing some users not to see all the
images in their project.
I'm just really disappointed that managing images within RH
with SC seems to be an after-thought. Out of the hundreds of topics
that SC manages our biggest problem is getting the images
referenced and loaded properly. I'm at the point of just having RH
manage them at the root level because it seems that what the
program likes, but it is very confusing to have hundreds of images
that you have to sift through. Our development team is going crazy
over this.
