This troubles me, troubles me greatly...

I was about to properly archive my /e/ folder for once. I started out and rolled along smoothly: cathegories for ass, boobs, swimsuits... all nice. But then I ran into the wall I think we've all encountered: one pic with multiple possible categories.

How the hell am I supposed to archive something like this? Boobs? Lingerie? Stockings? Beautiful Drawn Girls? I can't decide.

How do you archive your stock, /e/?

There is not much point to using a folder system to organize images; a tag system works much better.

I've come to realize that, but where do you get such a system?

YOU DONT DROP IT IN JUST ONE FOLDER D00D!

You copypasta it in all applicable categories. ;)

We we collect porn, and therefore our compute memory must be wearing thin. A copy-pasta of such would practically fill up the drive.

This is why I sort by artist, series, character, etc. You don't run into this problem.

Although images depicting characters from multiple series are problematic, there aren't many of those.

Instead of using multiple copies of the image in multiple locations, just have shortcuts in various locations.

lol sorting? If I did that I would be here sorting for the next 5 years, and thats if I stopped saving this stuff to my hard drive...

but the OP picture is fucking win / god, and if anyone has more, they should definitly post it

Pica Loader is a picture grabber program that also allows you to add multiple single keywords to pictures and then search the archive, its what I use to keep my pictures relatively sorted. And theb est part is if you want to redefine an old image, there's no need to move it anywhere.

I do that whenever possible too. It's just that most of the pics around here don't come with Sauce included. It also doesn't address the problem of themes or fetishes. The optimal solution would be to archive based on source and then apply a tagging system of some sort.

I came up with the following cathegories with which I'm reasonably satisfied so far: ass, boobs, bottomless, kemono, lingerie, masturbating, nude, panties, pantyhose, stockings & fancy attire, swimsuit and other. It's a bit tough to pick between ass and panties sometimes, but I feel the distinction matters.

I also downloaded Faststone Image Viewer to help with the archiving. Damn, that thing's pretty much everything I ever wanted. I've been using Picasa before but it felt seriously impaired in parts. Faststone may not be as "smooth" interface-wise as Picasa was, but the features more than make up for it.

Why only organize images? Does any of the hard drive indexers support tags? Google Desktop doesn't seem to do it.

It's lingerie. Problem solved.

When in doubt, sort by most prominent feature. In this case, the boobs are not as prominent as the lingerie.

I'd also like to know where to get a tag system. That'd be damn nice for image browsing. I wonder if Leopard will incorporate that kind of metadata...

exactly. .she got boobs
but pic , clearly show all her lingerie
>> TheLostOne
This is something ive run across before and i hated it, then i got fed up and i use a simple system, socks, panties, bra, or set. Basically if the pic focuses on one element by itself, it goes into the correct folder, as soon as it shows more than one element it goes into the set folder. I do also recommend using a tagging system (data base etc) for this i use ACDSee 8 and it works a treat. But it does take a long time to sort out your initial stash of pics, i just wish i had started from the beginning lol.

I got it a tad organized based on series/artist but lots of stuff is still in the wrong dir. I won't bother fixing it as well since it's too large. (40,000 pics / 11Gb / 1344 dirs)

I actually havent got any idea yet. Have been thinking to use a blogger site or similar thing, but doesnt appear to be very appropriate. Neither Sourceforge cause i dont feel like making it opensource (cause the program is mostly made for experimenting in Java). So i still need to think about it. 90% of the program is allready done, but there are some things i aint really happy about yet.

I personally use Picasa as my main image sorter. Having over 9k images from 4chan (spanning b, d, e, h, s, and u), you're bound to end up with doubles at some point, and there's a feature that lets you check if there are duplicates.

I'll probably be checking out other programs in the future, but Picasa rocks it so far.

Because I'm really selective about what I save, I don't really run across this problem, though if I have more than 5 pics of the same character I make a folder for that, and likewise if I have 5 or more of the same artists work.

On toast!

and also: Just sort 'yer pictures in 4chan categories with numbers attached. Problem solved. When the folders get above a certain size (when they start being a pain to search) Give them numbers. Remember to start them with 0001, not 1.
I have some extra categories though... Such as H, which is divided into two (light and hard) and so on.

Be rad, sort them by md5 checksum. I have 9 folders, /e/ is one of them and the only order there is their md5 checksums as filenames
& modification date as sorting order, and surprisingly, I can find everything I need quickly.
Also I use "Duplicate File Detective" with SHA1 160bit checksum comparing for duplicate free folders.

A tag system like that of danboory would be extremly fucking awesome, but Picasa isn't doing it good enough, it doesn't allow tagging while viewing full-screen and it doesn't hide the picture from the non-tagged bunch once it's tagged properly... And it's not very practical to apply several tags to the same pics, you have to find it back to tag it again and blablabla...

I'll go try Faststone Image Viewer
