Comment on Ask HN: How do you manage photos, philosophically?

Comments

I have found out that iPhone automatically organizes photos pretty well, given the location services enabled. So I leave the photos I took with my phone alone, and can find anything I want, when I need it. It also creates memories for me, which is pretty nice.

For the photos I took with my camera, I use Digikam with an external hard drive, since they're relatively big images. I put them to folders named YYYY-MM-DD-$EVENT_NAME, merging multi-day events into a single folder, using the date of last day.

Digikam has tons of features, and allows me to organize and browse photos the way I want. For RAW processing, I use Darktable, which is fantastic.
