I've started putting timestamps at the start of filenames recently and is been working pretty well. yyyymmddhhmmss, then an optional filename if needed. it might still be your idea of grotesque, and the timestamp does take up a bit of space unfortunately but at least its consistent. going with your example above, it would allow you to just have folders for classes and then have files from all years in the same class folder. then you can sort of hack together a divider feature by adding some brightly coloured jpgs with a timestamp at the start of the year which would let you see at a glance where each year starts and ends. it also helps if your file browser will remember to open each folder with the newest files show first at the top
