I save my raw images in folders, top level is current year, next is camera, next is month, next day of the month.
For over twelve years I have used an inexpensive piece of software called Downloader Pro from Breeze Systems Software (
https://www.breezesys.com/solutions/breeze-downloader/).
The setup I use, making use of the program's extensive list of tokens, means I only have to create one main folder at the start of each year (this year's main folder is I:\Photos20.) That goes in the slot "Download directory" and is unchanged for a year.
In the Filename slot I use several tokens: {J}_{d}_{seq#}, where {J} is "Job Code". {d} is 2-digit year, and {seq#} is a sequence number, which automatically increases with each photo, until I decide to reset it to zero.
Job code is any label I choose to enter for each shoot (event or location). I have checked the box to ask it to prompt for job code each time it is run.
The latest photo I have taken with my Sony is located at I:\Photos20\DSC-RX10M3\2020-03-25\Pharmacy_200325_239.ARW
and the latest one from my Cano G5X is at I:\Photos20\G5X\2020-04-01\Morseland_200401_248.CR2 .
It takes a few minutes to set up the initial system, but after that, all I have to do is insert a memory card in my reader, run Downloader Pro, enter a Job Code, and tell it to download. When finished,I can tell it to delete the images from the camera card, and I have two full sets of the images in separate locations. For me, it was well worth the modest price of $45.
