Why are you even bothering to archive the low-res? It's a) embedded in the
document (QXpress or Photoshop or whatever) b) can be regenerated from tyhe
hi-res by the sampler in a few secs anyway. Separate low-res/hi-res folders
make more sense to me. Besides, tagging on suffices is all very well, but you
run into the Mac's 31-char limit very quickly (and if it's on a Kanji system...)
