With the DAMS and TMS managing access structured directories exist
primarily for legibility and cleanliness with modern OSıs you could just
put all of your dedicated TMS images into a single directory and not worry
about it. For captures (master and derivatives), a date based folder
structure is generally quite effective, Iım not so sure about trying to
define specific folders for each object based on ID , seems like youıd end
up with a lot of extra folders and work. Leverage the metadata in Portfolio
for that (e..g prepared searches or galleries) to find these assets.
Although geared towards commercial workflows, Peter Kroghıs the DAM book is
has valuable, sensible advice on folder structure and file naming.
