If you enter the year in the tag, you can then simply sort them by date.

The only way this would be possible is if you used a capture card to record the slides. This would however be costly and pointless, I'm pretty sure you can get software that allows you to add transision effects the same as the PS3 so you might as well do that.

After reading this fine recipe I spent some time getting to know the new options in PS3 photo handling.

I have an european 60Gb version, wich is the original arround these parts and there are a few differences compared.
The folder PHOTO is not supported, but instead you kan use PICTURE wich actually supports subfolders.

I figured out that an album is created from each copy session, meaning that everytime you copy one or more images to the PS3 an album is created.
Each copy session are put into an album named by current year-month-date and any susequent sessions are given a suffix like 002, 003, etc. The album can later be renamed.

Hopefully there will be more powerfull ways to handle your images in a future realease, but for now I found the best way is divide the images into subfolders, with each subfolder reflecting the album structure I want and then copy one folder at a time.

There are two ways of moving images into a new or existing album. One is to rename an existing album and all the images contained will be moved, the other is to edit the info of each image and trust me you only want to do this with a few images since you have to type in the album name into each image.

Though handling of images are still limited, the new options have added a lot of power and i look forward to future advancements.
