E.g. <a href="http://jbrout.python-hosting.com/" rel="nofollow">jbrout</a> does this, which is my favorite as it can also change EXIF-dates etc. This way you can re-use your categorizations/tags in other programs that a able to read EXIF/IPTC-data (digikam, picasa, ...). I find this very helpful to create collections across my filesystem-based folders, that are ordered primarily by date and secondarily by subject (e.g. all pictures that show my girlfriend).
