I've never had to organize much in the way of videos/photos, until now. I'm going on a trip for a month or two and want to organize the pictures and videos I will be taking. I'm interested in datestamps and tags more than anything. Does anyone have a workflow that works for them? Any apps that make this easier that I haven't heard of?

EDIT: I'm wondering about things like, downloading media from my camera and having something sort it all in a schema of my choosing. Maybe other things that I don't know enough to even wonder. Or, maybe there is no there there.

I always note this stuff down in obsidian so that next time I reinstall the os I know what I did

This was my setup for rapid photo downloader

Photos Destination

mnt -> photos -> Photography hit the cog to edit

<Extension (UPPERCASE)>/<Image date (YYYY)>/<Image date (MM)>/<Image date (DD)>

Videos Destination

mnt -> photos -> videos hit the cog to edit

<Video date (YYYY)>/<Video date (MM)>/<Video date (DD)>

photo rename

<Image date (YYYY-MM-DD)>_<Image date (HHMMSS)>_<Camera model (UPPERCASE)><Session number (Four digits)>

video rename

<Video date (YYYY-MM-DD)>_<Video date (HHMMSS)>_<Session number (Four digits)>
