True, although it's also subject to change. On my system, VersionTable
currently contains schemaVersion = 8.

That does suggest another option though: I could write a small script which
scans the sqlite3 database, moves photos into the %YYYY%/%EVENT%/ location,
and updates the database as it does so.

Indeed, but the flipside is that Shotwell itself won't assist me in
physically organising new photos.

That is, once Shotwell has imported the files (as you say, it only does
YYYY/MM/DD at the moment), then I can't use Shotwell to reorganise them into
my preferred structure.

So then that means I need to import my photos externally to Shotwell, and
organise them into directories externally to Shotwell, and then tell
Shotwell to scan those directories.  If I'm doing all that outside of
Shotwell, then I might as well just use gthumb to view them.

I use mutt, so such drag-and-drop might be more problematic :-)
