How do you organize your porn?

I've got 1,300+ files by now, and that's just the ones specifically in my 'NSFW' folder and its subfolders--not those organized in a separate section by artist/source.

For the moment I'm using Adobe Bridge, but general clunkiness and lack of smooth saved-search functionality is making we want to look elsewhere.

I throw all my doujins into a Manga folder. I keep Motoko pictures (both H and regular) in a folder of it's own, as we as Dot Hack and a few other characters or series in thier own folders.

I organize by name and number. Case in point,
<------ Motoko309

Mine is a huge mess, spread out over multiple DVD backups, and new stuff on my hard drive thats poorly organized into folders like /h/ and /d/.

So... basically I don't organize it.

My Pictures contains two folders, "Hentai" and "Not Hentai." Self-explanitory, the "Hentai" folder contains names of animes in alphabetical order. Then just a plain old hentai folder inside for random 4chan crap. Seems to work...

My collection is still too small to bother with, but I was considering organizing it from soft to explicit, so I can work my way up the fap ladder in a session without getting frustrated at trying to find the right picture at any given moment.

My images are contained in directories of date of sorting. Classification is achieved by close to 300 text files like image-type-ecchi, image-character-Natsuki or image-artist-Tony, each containing a list of matching images. A script called im is used to display them, for example, 'im Natsuki and ecchi' would use qiv to display images in both the image-type-ecchi and image-character-Natsuki files, ie. ecchi Natsuki images.

I have them divided in a fansection folder which is divided again into cartoons, comics, videogames, etc and then they get divided again into sections like anime and disney, or dc and marvel or rpg and fps. Then I make more directories for each series separated by dojin or normal. I dont separate hentai from normal though. And I do it all with my fav program thumbs plus

Hentai/Sorted by Artist/<artist>/
Hentai/Sorted by Series/<series>/
Hentai/Sorted by Subject/<subject>/ (for generic catgirl art etc)

...plus 1,500+ images in root folder which I haven't been bothered to sort yet.

In the longer term, I might have a go at installing danbooru on OSX, or try coding something basic myself in PHP/GD/MySQL.

I have over 18,900 files and I organize them into folders by name of artist (Range Murata, Yuji, Shunya Yamashita, Satoshi Urushi... etc) or series (Onega Twins/Teacher, My Hime, Tenshi no Shippo, etc) or also by genre (school girls, swimsuits, maid and uniform, ecchi, hentai, catgirls, nuns and nurses, etc).

When I collect them here, I send them to 'Chan Boards' folder which is where I put the files by genre. I use AcdSEE PRO 8.0 to organize them...

>> miracle overloading
I use 3 catefories.
I keep folders by artist.
and folders for original source, if I don't know an artist, example: all Dead or Alive ecchi in one folder, all Naruto ecchi in another, etc.
and everything else goes into one big misc. folder to be sorted later into various categories, usually by fetish (nurses, teachers, dominatrixes, etc.)
>> Folder organization Anonymous_Abridges
C:\zBELLDANDY (file and installed item backups)
C:\zSKULD (bittorrent seeding files)
C:\zURD --> anime

In the anime folder I put all the anime-type downloads into folders such as manga series, doujins, manga books, mp3, and 4chan images:
4chan
artist
audio --> mp3
doujin
manga

In the 4chan folder, I make more folders. An underscore in front of the name makes it a category to store unsorted images of that type. If I know the series it is from, it goes into a name folder:
_404 (these are those 404 error images)
_angel
_bondage

Here's a small sampling of the subfolders of one of my many subfolders within subfolders, and a tasteful ecchi picture to stay in protocol. Keep in mind my pics aren't actually all oraganized, this is merely what I aspire to. Over-organization. And my god is it a pain in the ass.

I had to end up getting a second hard drive for the lot. My main directories are sorted in the following order:

Anime
Artist
CG sets

Doujin
Flash files
Game (video game characters)
Games (playable H-games)

I've tried to organise by stages of sex... and then extemity of sex
so i have one for intoductions(ecchi), invitations (they want sex), oral, other forplay, then intercorse (having sex), then onto /d/ material...

doujins, video, real girls and flash have their own folders

but still this is not alwasy satafactory and take ages to organise. what is really needed is a keyword serch funtion like danbooru.donmai.us... but that would take ages to setup.
interesting that porn leads to complicated storage and sorting problem... could be a graduate thesis in management :P

My collection is quite small compared to most of yours, but they are broken down into two main catagorys. Adult and Not Adult.

It would be really nice to have a danbooru-like application, but for offline use, and that would allow you to tag while viewing in a slideshow. Picasa is ALMOST there, it just doesn't multitag and doesn't tag while viewing in a slideshow... =(

Oh, and Picasa's interface is kind of cluttered.

Oh, and I forgot. I have about 11 thousand pictures, all hand-selected with care and thrown into a "Zone X" folder. I have the subfolders Flash, Raw, Gif and R/RF (Real, Real Fetish). Raw is for censored/monochrome/low-res stuff.

I already tried sorting them by folder, but I just ended up not being able to sort some of my pics because they contain too many awesome. Then I tried Picasa, but it sucked. Then I tried one billion other image organizer, but they all fail to do what I'd like to do.

I considered trying to install danbooru, but it's way too fucking complicated and it's kinda made for use on an online server, so...

I just throw them there. I pick a spot in the list randomly and start there.

57,626 files, 725 folders
First divided by whether or not they are from a known anime series. If yes, they are divided by series. If no, they are divided by fetish (including a peculiarly large ecchi only folder).

If my girlfriend only knew . . .
>> Kebinu !GhiZeo/aQQ
I start by dividing into Artwork, Animations, Doujinshi, ero-game Screenshots, stand-alone Manga, and Movies. From there, sort by series name, then by character (in the case of artwork) or by title (in the case of doujinshi.

217,585 files, 6,567 folders, size on disk 42.1 GB, amassed over five years and three months.

Not counting another 50 or so GB I have on an external drive, and 20 or so burned CDs with movies on them.

Mostly i keep them seperated by series, and a few subfolders in some of the shows for characters. I have seperate artist (Tony, Maruto, Mania St, etc) that aren't series specefic. I also keep a video game folder (minus FF, DOA, and Megaman) a loli folder, and everything else is just in the root folder. I don't really collect doujins, but I have a page here and there, and probably some covers, it just gets lumped with rest of series. Everything has been sorted by clicking and drag

I usually have a folder for photo porn, anime porn, and maybe a "new downloads" folder of stuff the be sorted later. Sometimes I'll break them down further if I have enough for a select group, like black chicks, cat girls, and such. Usually I'll have a "favorites" folder, too. Occasionally, I'll pull out a few I really want to use for a fap session and have a "current" folder.

Every so often, I'll pull everything out and dump it into one sorting folder and reorganize it for stuff that may be duplicates but with different file names and such. Then I'll make a CD backup every so often.

Oh, I forgot. I have a separate section under Artwork for individual H-artists whose work doesn't fall under anime or video game fanart. That section used to be pretty small but it's grown as I've ventured onto more Japanese webpages (and exploded after I found futanari.org's link page).

In the beginning I concentrated on archive sites like the CG Shrines and E-hentai. klozz and Hentaischool were other sites I visited. By 2002 I was concentrating on collecting doujinshi since most of the archive sites were either dead, abandoned or turning pay. I gave up on American sites and relied on French and Italian collectors like Flowers Of Hentai and Hentai.fr.st, and eventually Japanese upload sites (DOUJIN ISLAND was a favorite, uploading two fresh doujinshi every single day--I've lost the link to it). It stayed that way until early 2004, when I discovered the concept of image message boards through rarehentai.com and, in May of that year, I arrived on 4chan. At that point my collection of hentai was about 12 GB.

Then I installed BitTorrent.

The rest is history.

theres a few folders with real life pron that i havent added to lately
the stuff from 4chan basically goes into newfolder1, 2, etc in the order that i find it

Everything goes into a new arrival folder. That folder is purged of duplicates and bad quality (eventhough each pic is hand picked, bad judgements do happen)pictures every so often during renaming and sorting. Picture are split into series they are from or if not applicable, genre. Doujinshi are currently in need of serious reorganization because all folders crammed in one folder, all containing original name if not downloaded pic by pic. Only 29,000 files, but almost no duplicates and 99.99% of the time, good fapping.

My biggest problem would be that I'm sure I have doubles, maybe even triples of the same image just named differently. What do you guys do to solve that problem?
>> Anonymous
Well...I've got maybe a hundred thousand pics or so, collected over the last three years, spread over the three drives in my desktop (the comp I had been using exclusively for downloading until recently) and backed up on a 300gig external. Then there's a whole crapload of new stuff that's glotting my laptop harddrive. I attempt to sort it from time to time but probably about a third of it has yet to come up for review.
I really need to get organized, as finding choice pics is beginning to become a problem.

Only 98,000 images on 60 gigs, but I do need good programs to sort/view them all.

>>167655

I use Picasa 2(free from Google). It has keyword search (with keyword memory so you only have to type it once). It also has nice slideshow functions, autobuilding of collections based on folders, a label function that allows you to assign broad topics quickly to form metacollections that span multiple folders. My favorite part of Picasa is that it accepts booleans in the Keyword/filename search.

I can type "brunette busty -blonde -furry" to get only pics I've keyed as busty and brunette without any busty blonds or furries, despite the fact that they share keywords.


>>168222

I use uniquefiler beta 2 (http://www.uniquefiler.com/beta.htm) to be sure I only have 1 copy of each image. It's older, but it's fast and free. It lets you set exactly how similar 2 images can be before they get tagged as dupes, and has an autodelete function for pictures that it KNOWS are duplicates.


ABC-View has both duplicate detection and slideshow/collection capabilites. It has superfast thumbnail generation, and can support up to 10 million thumbnailed files in a single folder. It also uses the Lanczos III resize algorithm, so images are razor sharp/smooth regardless of of original file size. But it costs $30 and has a poor interface.

I dload everything by flashget and/or by opening and "savin as" the pics onto folder. Then I use "ThumbsPlus" to sort every pic in directories. I ususally have 3 main folders of sorted stuff:
- "MangAnime" (only mainstream manga and anime stuff and related, like artbooks OSTs software beside the pics)
- "Hentai" (hentai, just like the MangAnime folder, each series has it's own subfolder (Naruto/Evangelion etc) and every stuff i do not know where it's from goes into a "Random" stuff with another "lolicon" subfolder in it)
- "Deep" (into this folder goes all the real porn and other stuff found aroud like funny pics, or anything else which isn't anime/manga (hentai) related.

By the way Doujins and Hentai Mangas all of those go to DVDs called "Doujin+(random name)" (so it can be one called "Doujin Box" and another "Doujin Rain" :P)
I can count with a minimum of 14 doujin DVDs, 25 "Deep" CDs
68 "Hentai" CDs
60 "MangAnime" CDs

And all this without counting games and/or DVD/CDs with Anime/Hentai series and/or movies

You might try having the folder sorted by file size. The pics that are the same will get grouped closer together and you can probably spot them in thumbnail view.
