For my setup, each machine from which I grab photos uses a subfolder, so those two photos would get imported into gallery as unsorted/machine2/img000091.jpg and unsorted/machine1/img000091.jpg. Once imported, I move the photo symlinks from unsorted into better-organized albums (public, mediocre, private). Even if the two pictures ended up being moved into the same album, gallery would handle it, adding _001 to one of the pictures.

I spent a few days setting things up, which was just right for me. I can’t afford to obsess any more – if I could I’d probably try to extend gallery – but I have to get back to archiving a hundred or so crappy old Hi8 camcorder tapes! :>

c:\myphotos\img000091.jpg (02/29/2008) from “machine 2″
will do to
c:\myphotos\img000091.jpg (02/18/2008) from “machine 1″?

We can’t expect everyone to be an obsessive-compulsive programmer type, can we?
Or are you processing per machine?
