 However their methodology of file handling seems a bit
weird at times.

Lightroom is built around SQL. Like any database program, the organizational structure is designed to facilitate storage and retrieval, not necessarily user comprehension. Good news about this approach is that it allows very fast processing of search/sort/ retrieval requests from among tens of thousands records (images). As others havwe suggested, file it and forget it. Lightroom can find it, you don't need to fret about an organizational structure that you can make sense of. If you have problems with Lightroom, you can try to "learn Lightroom" or you can find a general simple discussion of database systems and work from there.

Another good thing about Lightroom is that they have nicely layered the image processing functions onto the database functions without compromising either too badly.
