Hey /e/, how do you organize your porn folders? I just tipped over to half a gig, so I need to start organizing.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
First off, i've got a main porn folder, and a folder in it for Hentai. The distinction between /e/ and /h/ material doesn't matter to me.

If it's a video game character, they go in the game folder, then are sorted into folders by title of the game.

If it's an anime character, they go in folders according to the name of the show, but are also split up according to how much I have of that show. For shows that i have 200+ pics, they go in Large Collections. Between 75 and 200, Medium Collections. And of course Small Collections for 75 pics and below. Some animes i have many hundreds, nearly a thousand images, so those shows get split up by character.

For stuff that isn't an anime show or video game, that goes into the Artists folder where CG sets and doujinshi get thrown according to the artist or circle producing it. it's not a very precise system but it works for me, since i'm not big into cg sets and doujinshi.

Then flash files have their own folder, usually divided into folders for either the name of the flash, if it has a proper title, or by the artist.

All in all, i've got about 30,000 files in 287 folders, totalling 6 gigs.

I break it down by-
pantsu
tits
ENF/ Clothing Mishap
animated
flash

On the rare occasion I find a series I want some or all of, I'll give it it's own folder.

I just go by series.

I've got a general H folder for the stuff from series where I only have a few pics (10 or less). I organize my folders by series, then again by character, allowing for pairings and groupings. I also have a split between games and anime, as well as a /d/ folder for rape, noncon, tentacles, monsters, futa and such. Again, these are separated by category, also allowing for pairings, groupings and combos of different categories.

I only organize my doujin folders. I usually just lump the rest together. Too lazy to organize everything.

half a gig? NOOB!!! Try going through 4.2, I don't even give enough of a fuck anymore.

Organize doujins, h-manga and HCG by artist.
Organize random pictures by various categories either for fapping or to be used as reference for my own drawings.

8.71 GB, 53,591 files, 297 folders.

I don't really try. I'd suggest this though.

If you know the artist, stick it in artist folder. If not, stick it in series/game/original folder. Separate doujins into their own folder, and for the original, unsourced stuff, organize by theme. Catgirl, weapons, extra busty, etc.

I generally do doujin by series, anything else by artist, and then organize pictures that I don't know the artist for into categorized folders depending on ecchi/hentai/etc. and then down into subcategories (Underboob/Teachers/etc.)

Doujin titling is typically /[Group/Artist] Title (Series)/. Where as I bulk rename other pics to get rid of irritating filenames.

Generally I omit the series though as I know based on the root directory what series it is.

I have ~178 GB of stuff.

Oh and game HCGs by company then game, if I'm not sure of the artist.
>> Anonymous
Most of what I do is already posted but I do have a folder for stuff I REALLY like. The ratio is like 1:4200 for each image in there because it's only stuff that I can fap to many, many times.
>> Anonymous
C:\yays for any general hentai I find.
C:\yays\GIF for GIFs.
C:\yays\uitzoeken for things I still need to check out/sort.
C:\yays\series for books, episodes etcetera.

I don't stash much of that stuff as you can see.

Split into folders organized by date

Files named <series name>-<character names> <artist name> with anything else added to the exif metadata

Seperate folder for HCGs by game

and use a desktop search program to find stuff

The steps were as follows:
Got Manga
Wrote ISBN/Artist in text file
Wrote script to make browseable HTML and put Title/Artist/ISBN into database for searching.

split it up by anime series, with the exception of Takahshi (Ranma, Innuyasha) is one folder, as well as To Heart and Comic Party are one folder. Video games go in video games folder (H games and regular games) with the exception of DOA, Final Fantasy, and Mega Man. One folder for different artists liks Maruto, and Gunma. And a loli folder for loli's and loli shows like Pokemon, Nanoha, and Pretty Cure

i, on the other hand, dont have any porn saved on my computer.

if i ever feel like a fap, i go to a site and fap, then forget about it.

sure, sometimes i have a dry run where nothing is good, and sometimes i hit gold. Personally, i think thats better.

also, i dont even have bookmarks for sites, i just memorize them, or memorize key words or directions to be able to get to the site.

Unfortunately, I've ammassed such a large collection, that its become a problem trying to organize it all... I have at least 1 terabyte and it's on many DVDs, CDs, and HDDs so half of the time I end up downloading duplicates, only to realize "WTF I have that already? Why the hell did I waste bandwidth?!?"

I do something like this.

I organize it in 6 piles
A is the best stuff i have. Usually i remember a picture from there when i get horny
B is the good stuff. Stuff i like, but wouldn't drool over
C is the stuff that i think others would like, or i liked just enough not to trash

Then i have D, my categorized category (all the pics from the same character go there)
Then E, Which is my funny porn
And finally F, my unorginized porn.

I have 9 gigabytes of porn, duplicated to 18 gigs (remember 2 differant categorization systems) and thats just the pics.
I got a 100 pack of DVDs for the vids.
I am way too horny. I have every picture on this damn thread already.
>> Anonymous
I save all in one folder.
>> Anonymous
Does anyone know if a program exists that could find duplicates in my collection? It would have to do it by the image itself of course because the names are all different.

I somehow doubt technology has come far enough yet to allow me to do this without it costing a lot or taking DAYS to complete the scan though.
>> Anonymous
I just mass it in one folder and give similar pictures similar names so depending on what mood I'm in I can fap to only the type of picture im in the mood for
>> Anonymous
well i established some guidlines for my three levels of Ecchi.
on the main level i can hold 500 to 1000 pics before i move them into the 'old folder, but its usually less than that.
the pics in 'old' are then judged (to my specfication) and then the best that met my high standard are moved into my 'legendary folder' where only the awsome is kept and it only at like 150 pics.

i have one folder for standalone images, sets of images from games and the such go into folders inside of this one.

doujinshi goes into h folder in a manga folder.

I think there's one named Dupe Detector or somesuch, I know I got one recently for my folders, but it got baleeted in the Great HardDrive Reformat Purge.

As for categories I have:
-All Tied up (bondage)
-Angels, Fairies and Demons
-Animal Girls
-Animated
-Artsy Shit
-Couples
-Crossdressing
-Elves
-Gender-Switching
-Glasses
-Goth-Loli
-Kisses
-Maids
-More Than 2
-Not Porn
-Penisu (dickgirls >_>)
-Pin Ups
-Real Girls (with sub-folders depending on how SFW they are, or if I have a lot of one person)
-Rei-Rei
-Solos
-Strange Bedfellows (No, I'm not elaborating on this one)
- -Tans
-Vintage
-Witches
Basically, whenever I notice I have a lot of a certain kind of picture, I make a folder of it. The Solos and Couples are kind of misc folders for anything that doesn't fit into another category. I also have a sort of folder hierarchy so if say I have a picture of 3 naked elves wearing glasses I know which folder it goes in (Glasses in this case.)

There is DuMP3 at http://dump3.sourceforge.net/en/index.html
but it freezes after comparing more than 8000-9000 images.

My sorting system...
I organize with folders: first by artist (if known), like A.Taka, then by character, then by niche (Meganekko, Mizugi, -tans, etc.), then by to sort folders, misc and group folders. And a Best of folder.
If I don't have a lot of time to browse /e/ I use DownThemAll and delete unwanted pics through picture viewer later.

Half a gig? Not including my videos and "real" porn, I have eight gigs.

...Shit. Anyway, I have super-folders: Anime, Cartoons, Video Games, Superheroes, Manga (that doesn't fit into any of the other categories)

After that, it's sorted by series. Images with no series I know of, series that I only have a few images of, or images that cross series are kept in their respective root folders. In Anime, I do have a large general Yuri folder, since I collect so much of it.

But it doesn't stop there. If a lot of series are in one "universe", then they go in that folder. For instance, "Gundam" Covers Gundam Wing, G Gundam, etc. All of the Final Fantasies are in one FF folder.

Beyond that layer is the general images and Doujin. Doujins are divided into their own seperate folder, and labeled with the 4chan board they would most likely fit into (the most content going first- i.e., a doujin that is 75% yuri but has a specific hentai portion gets labeled [UH]).

Images are labeled with the character name, image number (001,002,etc.) and, again, respective 4chan board. U, B, H, E, D. If there is more than one woman in an image, it gets labeled "group" instead of character name, then follows the above pattern.

That last part is actually recent- I didn't start doing it until earlier this year. But it fits with my anal personality.

If you're using Windows, and have a similar system to what I have, you can have Windows arrange images by size (either dimensions or file size), then eyeball images to see which ones are the same. Sometimes the same image won't be put right next to the other (because others share the same dimensions/size), so don't just look at neighbors.
