From: Matthew Hunt
It's LightRoom that's being tyrannical with its demand that everything
be organized by keywords. Keyword the hell out of everything, but leave
the folder structure the way that makes sense to you. That way, when
LightRoom crashes & burns, you'll still know where your photos are.
LightRoom's utility is directly proportional to how easily it allows me
to organize photos the way *I* want them organized.
At worst, Lightroom makes in no harder to put your files where you
want them on disk. (Put them where you want them, then add them to the
catalog in place.) At best, it makes it easier, by letting you import
them in a systematic way (e.g. YYYY/MM/shootname, if a system like
that works for you.)
I don't understand the implication that Lightroom somehow prevents you
from organizing files on disk however you'd like.
I was responding to the suggestion that it is wrong-headed to insist on
organizing files rather than just relying on LightRoom's keywording.
