That is generally the way I do, because of metadata - tagging is the
key for me. digiKam (and exiv2) can't write metadata to Canon RAW
files (CR2) which I use and I don't think this situation will change
in close future. I save CR2 files in subdirectory untagged, convert
them to PNG (loseless) which I tag.
