I still use the very old PhotoTrack file numbering system that I started with 40 years ago for film. The first five numbers tell the country and subject and the next five are location - 61853_01920 means Guatemala (618) Family (53) located on slide page #19 in the 20th slot. Now with digital, I use the same first five numbers but the second half is sequential. I import everything into LR5, rename and keyword it. It only takes seconds to find anything in the 67,000 scanned or 250,000 digital photos in my master catalog.

Once the files are imported from the card into a folder inside a folder on my Desktop they are renamed with a prefix which includes the camera model and the 3-digit prefix for which 100 they are in the camera.
