 ## GENERAL
-    * storage_path viewing needs to be by folder / not a big grab bag of files (by default - DONE)
-        -> EITHER view by folders (and hide the oldest 50 by Day section), or view flat and show it
     * need a way for search results to show we found something in import_path or storage_path:
       - now we can use the in_path, then have a series of icons, e.g. disk for storage, ? for import, and bin for recycling
       -- only show these on the thumbs *IF* we search (where it may not be obvious where it came from)
