Just a quick comment on nameing files & folders. I name the folders using the date, but I start with the Year, that way it keeps everything from that year together and makes locating a 5 year old folder easier. Basicaly the folder names are ltke: 2007_11_18 GC vs EH GBB which means it is a girls basketball game between Greenfield Central and Eastern Hancock. I make the folders this for another reason as well as it helps me keep track of what the paper(s) pay me for, especially if ut's for a day I shoot from 2 to 7 events in a single day, and if for some reason they need a different shot of a specific player I can just look for the school and sport and it's easier to locate. Same goes for races, so if I need a shot from say Pole Day at the Indy 500 I can just look for 2007_05 and the folder that says Pole Day, while other folders will have "practice day 5" or so forth.
For file numbering I don't use the date or change the camera numbering because the date is part of the folder name and it's in the EXIF as well if I do a date search, which winfows search will find. The file name always starts with JS07 which is my initials and the year and it's done in camera so I don't have to change the numbers.
