Progressing through my image library, I employ a scheme whereby each 
artist is in their own folder.  Logically, the folder is given the name 
of the artist (and, where possible, the years of birth and death, added 
since the massive image library I absorbed included a large number of 
those).

But that's not the problem.

The problem is the individual files.  Ideally, an image has the date 
created and its title.  Prepending the artist's name thereto is 
redundant, in my system, and possibly encounters the issue of filename 
length limits, especially when other data which was originally in the 
filename (if the image is part of an external grouping, for instance) is 
also included.  Additionally, if someone were to browse my collection 
and decide they want a particular image, but just one, the artist 
information is then lost.

What should I do?
