I am an artist, so perhaps what works for me won't work for programmers - but I am also an artist who self-publishes comics, which are huge projects that sprawl across multiple files and programs. References go into a few directories, there are some vaguely sorted directories of inspirational images, books go into an "ebooks" directory that has a few broad categories in it, mostly I just go to that directory and type what I'm looking for into OSX's search bar. When I do commissions, reference images generally get dropped into the Illustrator file and deleted from the filesystem.
