Working with tagging, it seems that you can get less "nested" in folder hell if you employ a system of tagging. I have been reviewing some of the tech bloggers (brett terpstra specificatlly) Brett Terpstra he is in the process of writing a book for tidbits (I believe) on this topic.
Brett has developed a simple applescript and hazel combo that based up a tagging methodology it auto files the files into folders. Mavericks and Tagging Article This seems to work very well.
I have been doing a lot of thinking about how to manage my photo library. I am sitting here with over 20,000 pictures our family has gathered over the years.. Also I recently heard a story while listenting to the Mac Power Users #171
My workflow if broken down in the following groupings:
* Capture/Intake:
- Here i will primarily use my iphone or other camera like devices.. to simply capture the pics.
* Gather:
1. I will either use Dropbox or FileTransporter to move the pictures from my devices to "landing zone" (MacBook Pro)
2. Create a Hazel Rule that makes sure that all the images on in one area and perhaps even rename them based on some EXIF metadata.
* Process:
* Backup:
- Local and Online and a couple more just to be safe.
- I am looking at configuring my macs to check the dropbox folder where pictures are and make this my landing zone.
