OK thanks for the information. So it's ok then to have lets say 2,000,000 subfolders in one directory as long as not too many files in each subfolders.

I read somewhere the limit is 1,000,000 files per folder but I think the guy who posted that is wrong.
Probably go with option 2 then because can't take the risk of only 1,000,000 file limit. With about a million fhg out there and cropping thumbnails into different sizes and stuff, image count would be way over a million.

Thanks again guys, gotta let my programmer know.
