PSE5. Initially for capture from a gifted digital camera.
Supplying a photo file a name looks like a significant effort to be meaningful. As long as PSE5 exists Tags and Collections will find a photo.
However, in Windows file system and backups, even if the folder date is known, expanding it shows a thumbnail with a meaningless generated ‘Name’. So it look as if a name would be essential to identify a photo when PSE5 is gone, sooner or later. (Never mind HDD, CD and DVD)
Events like holidays are easy to group name but what about the odd snatched shot? Naming the person or pet duplicate the tag as would so many other things. But group photos and a tiny speck of a rare bird etc. are impossible. All are time consuming!
What do you experts do about this? Does anyone print the good stuff and put it in albums where full captions are possible, back up?
Derek, with over 60 years stuff to scan in and leave as an archive.
