http://www.yorba.org/shotwell/ and it is on Fedora's Repo

I see I'm not the only one that does it that way. I have all my photo 
files in subdirs by year/month/day on the day taken. Unfortunately some 
of my earlier filers were created from film based cameras and done at 
time of film developing copied to CD. I had a whole s**t load of film 
that I had forgotten about and had developed all at one time. Try to 
remember when and where those were taken, oye vye.
