Finally got around to starting dealing with images (only photos so far; 
documents come later).

1. At the moment all my own genealogy-related files are in
    ~/Documents/domestic/family but that could easily be moved.

2. With images, AFAICS the key identifier is usually the person or
    people in the image — that is, relatives asking questions seem
    most often ask about specific people, rather than events or places.
    As many images are of groups, I'm open to suggestions about file
    naming.

3. What is the default $GRAMPSHOME under Linux? Is it ~/.gramps? That
    directory contains:

drwxrwxr-x 2 peter peter  4096 Jan 27  2022 css
drwxrwxr-x 2 peter peter  4096 Jan 27  2022 env
drwxrwxr-x 3 peter peter  4096 Jul 12 11:01 gramps51
drwxrwxr-x 4 peter peter  4096 Jan 27  2022 grampsdb
-rw-rw-r-- 1 peter peter   239 Sep  7 21:44 recent-files-gramps.xml
-rw-rw-r-- 1 peter peter 18933 Oct  5  2022 report_options.xml
drwxrwxr-x 2 peter peter  4096 Jan 27  2022 temp
drwxrwxr-x 4 peter peter  4096 Jan 27  2022 thumb

    I've never touched any of this, only backed it up.
