Thank you, Nik and I understand: I can integrate my regular folder structure and the edits remain visible, as they are saved in the XMP files.
Yes, I can also see that myself with a file check. I have checked at some XMP files with the editor.
Regarding your remark about the 110,000 photos: Everything is neatly sorted for me 😉
One partition per area (pictures from life, photo shoots, etc.)
For example, the pictures from life are structured as follows:Â
Level 1: Folder name of the theme (pictures from life)
Level 2: By decade (e.g. 2000-2004, 2005-2009 …)
Level 3: By years
Level 4: Per event, with the start date of the event in the folder name (e.g.: 2025-05-15- vacation in XYZ)
Level 5: One folder per day
Level 6: Subfolders containing, for example, the RAW/DNG files or exports from Nitro.
I also have such a structure for my photo shoots.
So nothing should get mixed up 😉
