Three steps
I often rename e.g. « 2016-Xmas-file nb » - LR can do that semi-automatically,
just type in the « prefix » and let the file number - there are other options
but I like this one best
I let LR create its folders the way it wants, by dates, and find it convenient
since it works fine - the itch is when you have several cameras not all set to
the accurate date and time - but this issue can also be addressed after the
upload, automatically (how do I know? I edited the photos from a dozen
not-synchronized cameras when I last got married … )
And most importantly, you can, should, must use keywords on import - e.g. "
holidays, Portugal, Sintra » . Thus, whatever the date, I can find all the
photos I shot In Portugal in a second, whatever the day they were shot, or
restrict my quest to a specific place, Sintra, etc.
In any case, the camera used will be recorded too, and it may sometimes be
useful to make a query this way too.
Hope this helps.
