image sorting programs Anonymous
my /e/ collection is starting to become quite large. is there something besides picasa that's good for putting multiple tags on images so i can easily sort them for contributing to threads? in the meantime here's some Cheongsam pics.

okay, image limit reached. any suggestions on what software to use? looking for some kind of input apart from "google" since there's a bunch of crap pieces of software out there.

1. Don't use Picasa.
2. Organize things in their own folders. I find series folders with character subfolders works well.
3. Visipics to get rid of duplicates

you could try to run a web-based system like the boorus.

The problem with folders are the pics that fit in multiple categories.
>> Anonymous
>>516532
exactly. i already have things sorted in many folders, but i don't want to copy pictures into new folders for whatever theme i think of. picasa doesn't help since i think it just allows one album.

>>516351
any specifics on why not to use picasa? if there really isn't anything out there that does what i want then i can at least go back to picasa and put images in multiple albums.

ACDSee is a decent image sorting program that allows sufficient tagging and keywording for all your sorting needs. Another program is Thumbs Plus, however it has a lack of achive support, so it only allows you to view stuff inside ZIP files, not RAR like acdsee. Some complain about acdsee crashing alot, however i use it to achive over 50,000 images and i dont get problems

What about a combination of both tagging and folders? Like main folders for themes like lingerie and then inside that folder tag images that have something other than the main theme.

Like... open shirts, tie-side panties, gloves, whatever is an extra feature of the image. But the main theme wouldn't need to be tagged because it's already in its own folder.

I myself haven't found a good image tagging program yet. They're either slow or awkward to use.

Your both right, I do have multiple copies of a pic, but I think thats a good thing, especially when your trying to find a specific picture but you just cant remember what folder you put it in

that's sort of why i want tags too in case i forget where the picture is. i can then just sort everything by what tags i remember the picture should have and be able to find it.

I'm in a similar situation. I have way too much dumped into a single folder without any structure at all and I know it will surely kill me if I ever get around to "sort" it.

However I've been trying picasa 2 for just the wallpapers and it seems to be decent at the job. It is just the actual keywording that takes a long time.

Trying the folder structure for doujinshi though. Been using a simple method of artist name followed by general description like [SS][dickgirl] and so. So I could in theory use a normal folder search in explorer to single out a few stories.

The only thing that's worked for me so far is dumping pictures into generally themed folders, and then worrying about the nitpicky sorting or tagging later. I move them into more and more specific folders until they're a manageable size.

I can clear out a few hundred pictures in one go like this. And that helps, considering my collection is 10,000 or so in one partially sorted folder, and 40,000 in the other huge one from the last few years.

When each themed folder has only a few hundred it's simple enough to look through them for material to contribute.

One more thing, have a separate "character" or "series" folder for those random pics you come across of Samus or Tifa. Separating characters from themes has helped to reduce the numbers to work with.

you actually know the names of every single character in all of your pics? thats impressive. But ya just group them by look and appeal and you should be fine.

Yup. That's why it pays to think ahead. For instance, I just tackled an old folder of mine for "clothing." It had lingerie, swimsuits, leather, bondage, skirts and few other things. So sorting it from 1200 to 620 took 20 minutes. I cut that number in half without much effort because it's already fairly categorized.

The "Save Image in Folder" extension for Firefox works wonders for saving in multiple folders.

I'm giving is a try... seems quite good for tagging, it'll be a LOT easier to contribute here with it. But... I've been tagging my pics for hours now and I'm not even half way done.

Can someone who downloaded this program gives us some feedback? I have some important questions:

1) is it fail for being a free version of a commercial product?
2) how does it store tags?
3) can you mass tag everything in one folder? What about tagging everything under an arbitray selection? (i.e., using ctrl+click to select some things)
4) can you *remove* tags en masse in any way?
