Organizing wallpapers? Anonymous
Hai guise!
How do you organize your wallpapers, especially the guys with the big collections? As you can see in the screenshot, I have some wallpapers, too. The problem is, half of it are totally unorganized and have typical 4chan names.

tl;dr: How do I organised wallpapers?

Also in b4 shitstorm, /g/ is <--- way etc.

In folders according to series, using Picasa to browse them. Planning to eventually find a program that'd support proper tag-based database (Picasa's "Keyword" system is teh suk), but I'm lazy so may never convert so that :p

Yeah, the other (sorted) half is already like that. But what about the wallpapers I don't know sauce of, and the other ~4k unsorted walls? And is there a program that sorts wallpapers according to their MD5 hashes?

Sort by rez or aspect ratio

Imagine that for a second. If I were to sort them by resolution, that would be like this:
- 1024 x 768
- 1152 x 864
- 1280 x 960
- 1280 x 1024
- 1440 x 900
- 1680 x 1050
- 1920 x 1200
- Multimonitor

Now imagine 13.000 wallpapers spread in these eight folders. Needs more precise sorting.

i just sort by res, and even though ive lurked /w/ for years, i only save walls that i would actually use. u guys should try it!

I just chuck everything into a single folder with their original filenames, most of which are from 4chan and similar these days. If I want to browse them, I bring up GraphicConverter. If I wasn't such a lazy arse, I'd probably use Spotlight's Comments feature to tag them to make it easier to look for particular wallpapers... but I just can't be fucked doing that with over two and a half thousand wallpapers.

i have 2,200 walls sorted by series, misc, and some folders like swim suits, kimonos, samuria girls
thus everything is in a relatively accurately named fodler

Now that sounds like a good start. I'll give it a try. But what do you do, when you see an image of a kimono girl with a swimsuit underneath and a katana in her hand? :D

Any other ideas?

Common sense.

I use Picasa to organize by keywords an then rename them by series and resolution.

Pretty much the same for me. Also I try to prune my collection to keep it under 10,000. I use aduplicate detector to weed out copies, flipped versions, lower resolutions versions, etc.

I make a point to delete any wallpaper I don't like as soon as I see it(wallpaper changer is set to three minutes), and to do a general weeding out of folders every season.

Categorize by the focus.

mine are mostly in folders by series, but those which i can't id / don't come from a series just go in various category folders. currently ~7000 files.

If you're a Mac user, Google Punakea. It meta-sorts images into a static folder on your computer, that can be dynamically browsed by the application itself. So that if one fits into more than one category you're set.

Webserver + Mysql + Shimmie
Example:
http://konachan.com/post/list

It also can search by size or aspect ratio:
http://konachan.com/post/list/size%3D1600x1200/1
http://konachan.com/post/list/ratio%3D16%3A9/1

7 Main Directories, with hundreds of subdirectories, and then with named images within.

I gave up organizing mine. I just pick at random. When you have 5gb+ wallpapers, shit gets sketch.

Yeah, if it's based on Danbooru, it should be capable of this. Thanks for testing!

4chan
animu
Dual Screel Walls
Other Random Stuff
Unsorted/unreviewed
Vidja Gahmes

vidja gahmes and animu are farther sorted by source or wallpaper content (i.e. chicks with weapons)


doesn't really matter how i sort 'em, since i've got a wallpaper sequencer that changes my wall randomly every 30 minutes...

The main reason I haven't sorted them into subdirectories is that Mac OS X's random wallpaper changer doesn't recurse subdirectories or allow multiple directories to be selected.

Use shuffledesktop

That software does look promising... though their inability to get the English language right on their website puts me off wanting their software. I might have just tried it out anyway, but>>339027's suggestion makes mass tagging files with Spotlight comments a realistic option, so I'm sticking with that.

Google "random wallpaper generater" then set it and enjoy.

20GB and counting. Sorted by anime, or artist name if not anime-based. Untitled folder gets the Vista sucks slideshow gadget, so I can identify the walls at leisure. Assuming I'm paying attention, since the other four slideshows point to my "nekkid women" folder.
