I like the apple-like Google Screensaver, but it appears to dislike the structure of my photo files. I create a folder for each year (eg 200

then I create a sub-folder for each month (eg 01jan0

and then sometimes sub-folders in there for special events. So I have about a dozen main folders, each of which has 12 sub folders, each of which has between zero and 6 sub-folders. Now when I open settings in Google Screensaver, and select the folder 2008, NOTHING gets transferred, because all the photos are in subfolders. The only way to get Google Screensaver to get all the pics is to add the folder with only ONE level of sub-folders below it. I don't have that much time!!

A similar problem occurs in Picasa, by the way.
