Is it possible to have/use two separate storage folders?

Using just the GUI = VG Software Graphical User Interface
NO it is not possible to Split your Collection Between more than One Storage Folder.

It is possible to Change the Location using the GUI, on the Settings / Advance Screen.



There is a another way to do it.
but it requires technical computer experience.

Warning do not attempt this if you are not sure of what to do....

With your EXT hard Drive Connected, and Totem Working..
UnCheck all of the Automatic downloads boxes
UnCheck the Download after quit.
Quit VG

Open registry editor.
Locate the totem registry Branch.
Export it to a file.
It's just a text file when saved.
Edit the file, and remove everything Except the FIle Paths.
Save this as VG-EXT.reg

Now make the New Local Folder
Copy the cards / Duplicates you want to that folder.

Go Back and Edit the VG-EXT.reg file
Change the Models path to match the Local Folder location.
Save this as VG-Local.reg

So now you have to registry files.
Each one only contains the Totem branch Path entries
One has the Path to the External folder
On has the path to the Local folder.

To Update the Registry, all you have to do Is double click
on one of these files.
It will then make the changes to the path.

So if the Ext HD is connected.
Double click on VG-EXT.reg
ok the prompts
Start VG

If the External HD is NOT connected
Double click on VG-Local.reg
ok the Prompts
Start VG

Note: You may have to do a Rebuild All each time..
but that's just because One time you have all the cards, and then you only have a few..

Again, this is not supported by the software.
you are altering the registry each time you do this.
DO NOT attempt this if you don't know what your doing..
Totem is not responsible for any mistakes you might make.

Reduced Quality of Recent Cards

Alles über iStripper

So I thought I would put this graphic and post together to keep the discussion going on the visual inconsistency of recent cards.

Before I go any further, I want to point out that I'm not trying to give Totem a hard time. I'm just trying to provide some evidence in the hope that it will help to identify and solve the problem.

Some basic info:
I'm running a Mac Retina Display Macbook Pro 15" with an Intel HD Graphics 4000 and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M. Resolution 2880 x 1800.

For my comparison, I'm using the following cards:
691- Melisa: Happy Sunday (720p)
1421 - Melody Powers: Coral Bay (1080p)
1435 - Katy Angel: Mojito (1080p)
1462 - Tracy Gold: Country Fair (1080p)
895-Cindy Dollar: Delightful Time (720p)

I picked all "Close Shots" but I did not try to correct for model height or anything like that. These are straight images. My VG software is set to display at 38%.

It's my opinion that the general overall quality of these cards, rates in the following order:
1- Melisa
2 - Cindy Dollar
3 - Tracy Gold
4 - Katy Angel
5 - Melody Powers

To me, Melisa and Cindy are fairly close in quality. Melody and Katy are close in their poor quality (and a low point in the post card #650 era) and things are getting a little bit better with Tracy Gold and some of the other models that have come lately (like 1479-Sicilia: City Chic, which was released today), but it's still not the quality of Melisa's card, which I think represents the peak of Totem's shooting quality.

You'll notice that Cindy's Close Shot comes in at a height of 462 pixels while Melody comes in at 360 (again, not correcting for model height). This is a pretty substantial drop. For what it's worth, Totem lists Cindy at 5'2" and Melody at 5'1", so it's not likely this difference in image size is due to model height anyway.

Also, for what it's worth, to me, there's a noticeable difference in the sharpness of these images. Melody's image looks very blurry compared to Melisa's, particularly if you look at their faces and Melody's right arm. Even Tracy Gold's card looks blurry compared to Melisa. Reading other posts on this topic, it seems that Rex and others have mentioned that there were some technical difficulties due to aging equipment, but I'm unclear which cards were most affected and if Totem now thinks that the cards being released today should be back to normal quality.

I want to mention again that I am not trying to give Totem trouble. It just seems to me that there's been some doubt from some people here that there is any real noticeable drop in quality, so I just want to provide my perspective.
