<snip some interesting stuff about slides and DB ideas>
If there shots from more than one day on the roll, I just use the day
processed. It at least gives you a ballpark figure of when they were
shot.
I think filing slides is about twice as easy as filing negs, since you
have to match prints or contacts to the negs. I think that's the
nightmare aspect of filing - looking at a print, then trying to find the
neg.
I too am considering setting up a DB, but haven't gotten around to it.
I'm wondering if I ever will, since just keeping everything numbered is
enough of a chore in itself.
One thing that I do now is scan the keepers, and add the filing system
number to the filename, e.g.:
http://bigdayphoto.com/tom/images/booger_dog_03190101_23.jpg
Ok, that one's not so much of a keeper, but you get the idea.
This way I've got most of my good shots on disk, and probably somewhere
on my web site...if I want to print one, it's easy enough to find the
neg.
