I’d recommend you check whether you can restore a tagged file from backup and actually get the tags back.
#RESILIO SYNC FOLDER STUCTURE MAC#
True, though I intend to use Mac for some time. Embedding information into the file names and folder structure is cross-platform for any system or storage of the past couple decades. It works on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian/Linux, and (I hope) will “work” with whatever comes next in this ever-changing world.ĭo all of my backups (particularly in the cloud) maintain the tags. It is not dependent upon any proprietary software. As much as I love them, my photographic collection is not dependent upon anything Apple did yesterday, does today, or decides to do tomorrow.
#RESILIO SYNC FOLDER STUCTURE HOW TO#
The point to this is not the specifics but the underlying principle of how to organize personal files of any kind. Now, although those “real” photos are also imported into the Mac/IOS Photos apps for the purpose of display (and organized there in the same fashion), those are not the actual collection - it stands apart. (3) within those albums by names that sort chronologically, are understandable in other file systems, and are searchable (“ Trip to Disneyland - Johnnie Doe”) (2) stored in “albums” (folders) that make sense to me - for my immediate family, by year taken (“2005”), for my extended family, by person or couple (“John and Linda Doe”) and
(i) JPEGS (no matter what format Apple now converts them into when imported into the Photos app) So my “real” photographs are actually separate, and organized very simply as follows: I suspect I could go through each of those those 12,000 files adding tags and modifying metadata to get them to sort right within the Apple ecosystem…but being retired I’m pretty lazy and so I think not. To be sure I can do a face recognition search and find some pictures, but that is limited in countless ways - like finding out “What did grandma’s house look like after the 1952 flood”.

for a picture I digitalized on a scanner in Windows in 2005 of my paternal grandfather taken in 1938 are less so. Now, although the native Mac/IOS Photos apps are very useful in countless respects, the organizational concepts embodied within them of “Moments,” “Memories,” “Locations,” “Years,” etc. I suspect this is about typical for folks my age. Since then, using various digital cameras, iPhones, etc., over time, my family photo collection has grown to around around 12,000 photographs. In the mid-2000s I digitized 36 traditional paper photo albums containing about 6,000 pictures. We love having them on all of the various Macs, iPad pros, iPad minis, phones, etc. I regard Spotlight and other similar capabilities as excellent tools (especially as a last resort), but have seen enough changes over the years to try preserve as much flexibility as possible.Īs an example, consider how to organize your family photographs. The folders/files that I organized using the old “8.3” naming system of DOS in the late 1980s, which then went into Windows and are now in Mac OS, are still understandable to me today. The only thing I would add to the above discussion is that however you do this, consider whether you want your method to “find anything quickly, and lose absolutely nothing” to be dependent upon any specific software, file system, or even operating system.Īs with many of you, I have been doing this in both a professional/business and personal setting for around three decades now. I have a Personal folder with subfolders including HighSchoolPeople, CollegePeople, correspondence, etc.
#RESILIO SYNC FOLDER STUCTURE PLUS#
I have a Business folder with yearly subfolders like Banking, Receipts, Insurance, plus more based on date & client. And I’ll also create Smart Folder searches and put them in the main folder - (eg anything with a title containing ‘pressure cooker’ or ‘Instant Pot’). For example, in Kitchen/Recipes I have one set of subfolders based on techniques and info, and other folders just containing recipes based on the food (eg Poultry, Pasta, Soup/Stew/Chili, Desserts, Drinks). There are many subfolders within these folders. Folders in Documents include Art/Photography, Business/Economics, Computer/Internet/Tech, Films/TV/Anim/Cartoons, General, Health/Med, Music-Making, Music/Radio, Politics/History/Law, Science/Machines, Documentation/Manuals, Religion/Lifehack, Writing/Lit/Poetry, Kitchen/Recipes, and more. I continue with a folder system I initiated in the late 80s, and I now have 50,000+ articles and other files based on topics inside Documents. The important thing with receipts is (1) being able to find items when needed and (2) having items sufficiently organized in event of an audit. So if I want to save an article in Science/Machines and I’m not sure if it goes in Ecology or Natural History I don’t sweat it. I’m not always completely diligent about placing items correctly into sub-subfolders, since a Spotlight search (or, more accurately a Spotlight-based search in HoudahSpot) will find what I need.
