Your workflow as described here, quite doesn't need photo management program. As didn't mine, but I dumped it in favor of better (shotwell) way. I right now don't see why you want to keep doing it the old way.
Also, it would be nice, if you developed an export plugin for shotwell, which exports all photos into folders, named year/mo/event/day. HH:MM Title.jpg, so you could backup all files and have these organised well for off-shotwell usage. Why exporting, not external scripts? So you can let shotwell apply all the adjustments you have done to photos (color enchancements, cropping etc).
