I just put the tags in the file name, like “2019-12-25_xmas_bob_grandma.jpg”. Obviously you can’t go crazy with a bunch of tags, but I think I can get by with 2 or 3 tags at most. I was afraid to use sidecar info or xattr because I think that data can be lost if the files get moved between file systems (ie eventually moved from the current hdd to the nas I have yet to buy, etc). I definitely kept my raw unorganized folder on the ext hdd for now, but I’ve run several scripts to make sure I didn’t inadvertently overwrite or miss anything.
