Ask HN: How are you structuring your photo folder? I'm going to optimise my photo folder structure for a better overview and easier to backup. How are you guys doing it? I was thinking something like this: YEAR -- DD-MM-YYYY @ EVENT Thanks. |

YEAR\yyyy-mm-dd - Event
I have always been a fan of some form of initial separation into subfolders so that the full list does not overwhelm me, so I made the year into a folder. Apart from that, I just dump the photos into the respective event folder and do not try to rename the individual photos or anything like that. I too would be interested in how other people arrange their photos. Maybe adding some symlink magic so one additionally browse by people, locations, events without adding a database?
I might add that my folder is symlinked in from a Synology DiskStation, so I DO have that additional database layer and can easily browse my pictures using their photo app as well, and that takes care of this for me...
