I eventually had to use a series of command-line tools to shepherd my badly-organized photo collection into something like a usable state, and it basically involved finding all the JPEGs on my system, de-duplicating them, and dropping them into folders based on their date-taken metadata.
It was a huge pain, and entirely an artifact of the tyranny of the folder-based filesystem.
