It seems that pictures must be imported and/or moved one at a time rather in a block?

Pics can be imported in blocks (e.g. I can use the Ctrl and shift keys to select many pictures for importing). However, the imported pics all end up at the end of the storyboard, and if I already have 20 images in the stream and want the new ones to go into the middle of the existing stream, the only way I've been able to do it is to highlight newly imported images one at a time, and hit the left arrow button multiple times to move that one image, then go back to select a new image, multiple left arrows, etc. Multiple selections via ctrl and shift don't work for rearranging on the storyboard screen.

Life gets easier if all the images to be imported are in one folder, and can be sorted by date/time (chronological order) or by alphabetical order. A project I'm working on now, I'm taking photos daily and trying to keep the project updated on a daily basis, but unfortunately the pictures won't be ordered strictly by ascending time.

The first time I used Photostory was for a friend's vacation slideshow, so that application lended itself to creating a new project, having a folder with all edited images arranged in ascending name order (Img0010, Img0011, Img0012_modified, Img0014, Img0020_rotated, etc), and importing them as a group in the correct order.

I finally finished the project. It runs 25.5 minutes and is complete with pictures, background music and narration. The built in effects work really well, giving almost a movie feel to the the project. I'm very pleased with the overall result but think that I could have done better with the narration. The mike seems very noisy when it switches on and off. The recording volume may have been set too high.
My wife even admitted to being impressed. Next step - bore the relatives with vacation pictures.
