In some downtime at work that's coming up, I plan to sharpen and round out my development skills a bit. I've been pretty heavily into web development for the past few years, right out of college, and I've learned a lot. I was going to focus on WinForms WPF for a bit, but I've been reconsidering it. Given the current trend toward 'clou...

I need to find and monitor all the photos on a hard drive or a folder for a photo organizer. Currently I'm doing this naively: recursively traversing, manually marking folders as indexed, and repeating that process to catch when photos are added or moved.

Records are saved in a sqlite database, so basically it's a CRUD app. UI-wise, it has a tree view on the left, a list view (grid) on the top right, and an HTML view (embedded IE) on the bottom right. Nothing fancy. I wanted to update the app with more features, b...
