Organizing photos in file hierarchy vs. 3rd party application
It sorts by file name and alphabet. My guess-filename and date2name generate date- and timestamps quite cleverly as long as your meta-data is not broken.

File organization help needed, need to match file names and move them to a folder.
If your set of rules are somewhat more general, you may check out https://github.com/novoid/guess-filename.py and https://gist.github.com/novoid/c4a239abc4027ecfd14e9904da88e6a1 (using this shell script via WSL)

Program that can automatically rename file based on multiple specification?
I've written https://github.com/novoid/guess-filename.py which you can take as a framework or template. Add your own renaming criteria and you're good to go. It uses the original file name for pattern matching and it can also scan the content of PDF files.

Describe how would the perfect data hoarding/curating software be for you?
I don't know if this is perfect but for me, this method with its tools is working pretty great since a decade or so: Managing Digital Files (e.g., Photographs) in Files and Folders using filetags (all sorts of things related to tags), guess-filename (generates most file names for me), guess-target-folder and move2archive (moving files to their destination) + some more tools I wrote.
