I may not be able to do it in two clicks but a simple geographic/ alphanumeric folder naming system e.g. Cadwell09, Pompeii14 has served me well for years and gets me to the images I want fast enough?
Having said that, I only keep to hand a few selected best images from that occasion which makes file identification quicker. Though I might take 500 shots, I may only keep 20/30 of the best shots in that folder. The 500 are archived in a similarly named folder on ext HD.....never to be used again. Lol
So even if I used LR, I wouldn't allow it to look through 25,000 photos, when only 1000 are all I am ever going to need.
I guess I must be quite brutal when it comes to selecting images I want to retain for ready access. But I cannot remember an occasion where I HAD to access the full archive to find an image that wasn't to hand.
But to contradict myself a little and make you chuckle virtuously..... only last week I had to access the 2004 archive to recover a folder I seemed to have deleted from the main computer. It took me nearly an hour to find the cables to connect that drive! Having then taken almost another hour to upload the folder...I discovered the folder hadn't been deleted but dragged into another adjacent folder.
