>>168436 games subfolder (compatriots: books, animanga, photography, litera-text, etc) --contains-- genre subfolders (11 currently: examples--card, fighting, rpg, system) --contain-- subfolders for specific games or series (example--ico, suikoden, final fantasy) --contain both-- folders for single games and folders for game series. If a series, the folder will contain subfolders for games within the series, which work as the folders for single games (obv).
The contents of folders for single games vary depending on how many files are in there. If I have ten images, I just toss them all in there unsorted. If I have twenty images and a large number of them share one thing in common--say, over half of my ico images are comics--then I'll make a folder to put those into.
When a folder gets large enough that I can't easily sort through it and find what I want or see duplicate entries, then I start to organize it. The first thing I'll do is make folders for images of individual characters. Then a folder for group images. I'll make another folder for miscellaneous items. Depending on how much there is, I might sort out even further, but that's enough for most fandoms.
Oh. And I try to save images with the original filename, preceeded by an underscore and either (1) the artist's homesite (slashes replaced with apostrophes, since they won't save), or (2) the artsite.artist-username. Originally I kept a textfile of artist websites and filenames, but it turned out really too obnoxious to keep track of.
