I agree with that. As Digikam provides plenty of tools to filter/select
images with a great number of criteria, it's better to rely on its
powerfulness to find 'the' image you're looking for at 't' time.
I use albums/folders to roughly divide my whole collection, so I more or
less know where I can find something, in order to reduce the searching
scope for Digikam. For events, or trips, or whatever where I take 50 to 500
pictures, or many more, I create a specific folder; the rest goes in a
monthly 'day-to-day' folder. And the whole in organized by years.
I am about to complete my 10th year in numeric photography, and it has
worked for me all this time (I used Photoshop Elements with Windows before
switching to Linux/Digikam and have been able to keep the whole structure
and the tags from the beginning).
