I find this very strange, as importing pictures is the first thing I do
when I come back home; even if I have not enough time to sort all the
pictures I've taken, I usually like to browse them at least to roughly see
if 'the hunitng was good'. ;-)

I don't bother with the right name and the appropriate position at import
time : everything I import go first in a "A trier" folder, till I have time
to look at them more thoroughly; those I want to keep will then go to the
appropriate folder. And I don't hesitate to rename or move folders when it
find it suitable.
Even when the photos are not yet in their final folder, I can always use
Digikam tools (date criteria, filters, metadata, etc.) to find what I'm
looking for.
