What are you going to do when you've shot 10,000 photos? You'll start again. That's what. And you'll start again at 20,000 and 30,000 . . . and when you've shot 200,000 photos you will have lots of photo number 3982 and lots of photo number 8745 and lots of . . .

The images are sorted into folders, each folder name of form 2014-06-28-DESCRIPTION, i.e. sortable on date.--

Actually I don't. I do two things:

* All my photos are sorted per Country and in side the Country folder they are sorted by date and day sequence; thus:

2014-07-01a [XYZ, Town Centre]

2014-07-01b [Castle XYZ]

* The files all have unique names. I use Ant Renamer (http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/ant_renamer_portable) using the original file name to rename it as: SD14-101001.x3f, SD15-101001.x3f and DP1M-101001.x3f respectively.

Therefore, photos are sorted by date and named uniquely, which means I can use the OS to find any file.  Simple...
