... In fact after posting I came across a post from "Sinus". My workflow is rather like his. I wonder if I copied his workflow some time in the distant past?

... where is the rofl - smiley?

Well, I have "published" (sounds that offical, what I do not want) my workflows several times. Some did copy some parts of it, and this is cool.
I tend to create "perfect and complicated" workflows (I think Mario and others go more the kiss-line).
But, creating a complicated workflow automatically means that you have to know IMatch relatively well. And that, in turn, is an advantage in many situations.
And regarding workflow, I can always recognize here and there that something is not necessary or can be replaced with something simpler. That's why my workflow changes here and there every now and then.
But basically I do it like Aubrey (I think):
All my images go into a single folder.
It can happen that I put a whole folder into this import folder, but usually only files.
This import folder is read in automatically by IMatch.
And IMatch offers me already in the collections (as an example) different options, to see all images from today.
But I rarely do that, but have created such in the categories by means of formulas, because that corresponds better to my workflow.
And then I rename these images with Renamer - Presets and so on...
I used Bridge once in the past for some time (especially regarding color profile matching), but then I didn't see any further benefit and don't use Bridge anymore since years.
And IMatch? Runs and runs and runs ...
