Sorry but I disagree. It may be partially resolved but certainly not
fully in 6.12 UK

I have the following directory structure:

c:\genealogy on dad (Dad)\Sources\Volume 1 - RAB00001-RAB00200
c:\genealogy on dad (Dad)\Sources\Volume 1 - RAB00201-RAB00400
c:\genealogy on dad (Dad)\Sources\Volume 1 - RAB00401-RAB00600
c:\genealogy on dad (Dad)\Sources\Volume 1 - RAB00601-RAB00800
c:\genealogy on dad (Dad)\Sources\Volume 1 - RAB00801-RAB01000
c:\genealogy on dad (Dad)\Sources\Volume 1 - RAB01001-RAB01200
c:\genealogy on dad (Dad)\Sources\Volume 1 - RAB01201-RAB01400
c:\genealogy on dad (Dad)\Sources\Volume 1 - RAB01401-RAB01600
c:\genealogy on dad (Dad)\Sources\Volume 1 - RAB01601-RAB01800

If I run vfi it only finds images in the first directory listed.
If I then move another directory to the top of the list then it finds
its images the next time I run it.
This happened under XP and is still faulty under Vista.
