![]() The backslash could have been used as well, but I was worried about its "escaping" behavior. Filename example: 2014-0522-0011.09"iPad_IMG_0845".jpg I know the slash is not recommended but it makes the coordinates much more readable for me personally. In the future, with scripts I can easily isolate individual pieces of info about photos or groups of photos by using the delimiters in my naming scheme (lat/lon between brackets, filename between quotes, date/time with dashes, dots and a bracket).I prefer the camera's original filename (usually IMG_#) to again preserve sequence in rapid-fire photos.I go down to the second to capture photos taken in rapid succession or burst mode.I name my photos with: yyyy-mmdd-hhmm.ss"camera model_camera filename".I like my file names to convey as much info about the file as possible and I virtually copied Federico's entire process with a few tweaks to make it mine. I have a decent understanding of quoting and escaping file names in a unix environment so it is my cross to bear. I will admit that many will not like my file naming scheme as it includes "undesirable" characters (spaces, dashes, quotes and especially the slash). I wanted to share my research and experience both to have a record that I can reference and to maybe try to assist others. I encountered problems along the way, had to do a lot of research and learn a LOT about Phil Harvey's Exiftool application. I subscribed to a 100GB Dropbox account, purchased Hazel and began to implement his methods. In 2012, I read Federico Viticci's Moving from iPhoto to Dropbox and immediately liked his ideas. After reading the "My Perfect Photo Management Process using Dropbox & Flicker" I thought I would post my own experience with Dropbox photo management and Hazel.
