Currently re-organizing and cleaning up crap/crap I saved for friends.

827 files.

Alphabetically by series, with an Uncategorized folder for things that don't fit into a series category.

Currently 738 megs

by series, theme, or artist. 35gb total.

ok, sorry for the sarcastic answer, but my 4.57gb of images is somewhat of a challenge to organise.
images are in folder by source if known. () denotes a category. [] denotes uncertainty. w- is a type of wallpaper. c- is general character pics.
>> Anonymous
One for animation, one for games, one for misc. Then series.

Could you post that Afghanis-tan pic? Or is it not a wallpaper?

i'm beginning to sort all the walls that i have, but this is somewhat chaotic. do you rename the files themselves or just leave them as they are, relying only on the folder structures?
>> Anonymous

i would rather count grains of sand than rename images. anyway, what would you call them?
>> Anonymous
>>430615
i really don't know, using something like "clannad_001_[1024x768]" for 200, 300, 400, etc files seems somewhat futile and using a random number like those here at 4chan seems quite empty, if you know what i mean. maybe i'll sort them using a folder structure, at least it's easier that way.

Jesus fucking christ. 35gb?

How many wallpapers?
>> Anonymous
>>430612

The best way to do it for me was to create a folder for certain themes and just save as. If you have a similar file name then rename it. Just keep like items (ie same series) in one folder.
>> Kou !!Bzfs+5yATPi
I hate the random numbers from 4chan, so I use a batch renamer (Krename in my case) to name them something with a bit more meaning. Like Azu_Kagura_01, Azu_Kagura_02, Azu_Kagura_03, ect.

Doesn't really help finding particular images, since I also have a folder structure, but I much prefer it to random numbers and it only takes an hour or two for a massive collection.

Organize? I mostly leave them in whatever folder CM originally put them in.

had to use a calculator for this one... cam up with 5057 wallpapers. i don't think that should equate to 35gb, but well, here it is.

I keep a folder for misc. pictures (separate from my personal pictures)

I sub-categorize by fandom or group (i.e. cosplay picture folder, "games" folder for games I only have a couple graphics of, "fail & captions" for the popular 4chan pics--like "do not want", etc.)

In the beginning, I put all graphics, walls, fanart, and comics relating to the fandom in its folder, but once it gets to be 20+ pictures I will typically further sub-categorize by wallpaper, yaoi, comics, etc.

I have 2545 pictures in this folder containing my non-personal pictures (some wallpaper, some not, but all are pictures) in 68 folders and it only takes up 798 MB's of space.

>>430746
My guess is that you have a couple of videos that snuck into these folders, because I don't know WTF else would make it that large. My anime and video folders are ridiculous huge, and I have them spread out over separate external hard drives because they don't all fit on my 300 GB hard drive.
>> Anonymous
>>430783
hm, i'm pretty sure i don't have any videos there... but what i'll do is take pull large folders out of the main folder and see how it affects the size. maybe i'll find the answer.

Walls are separate from my other image stuffs so I can use a wallpaper randomizer, if i want to

6 categories:
4chan (4chan/meme related walls, longcat, etc...)
Animu (duh)
Dual Screen (for whenever i hook up my laptop to my monitor)
Other random stuff (duh)
Unsorted (stuff that i haven't sorted or might decide to not keep)
Vidya (duh)


Only Anime and Vidya have subcategories. I'll make a sub category if I've got about three or four walls that would fit that category (ie. by show, girls with weapons, etc...). Otherwise I just dump them in the category folder and don't bother with a subcategory

yeah... 1384 files, 53 folders, 730MB

I have an Anime folder and a Video Game folder, each with folders of anime and video games, each with their own set of wallpapers and non-wall pics. Then I have a Misc. folder with "Wallpapers" that includes all my non-anime/vg walls.
>> Anonymous
Just a folder called Wallpaper. Inside are folers with the names of the series the walls from and one Random Folder. Games and Anime both go in the Wallpaper folder. Its at 376kb

4,615 wallpapers sorted down into 208 folders by series and themes, with 3 different kinds of catchall folders for stuff that fits no category. There is an "Incoming" folder for when I'm too lazy to search out specific folders, and it gets sorted when I'm bored.
>> Anonymous
i go by series name(makes it easier if someone wants a specific series on rapidshit). sitting at about 3.75gb with 5400 pictures. i use AWC to change the background every 60min so each gets a chance to be viewed.

Mines are also sorted based by series, what I consider to be significant themes that may otherwise, be ungroupable (i.e. general maids, seifukus, nekomimi, etc.); I also have artist folders, but depends based on whether the wallpaper is based off of a series (which it then would be put in its respective series; i.e. that's a wallpaper by Aoi Nishimata, but I would put it in Shuffle)
>> Anon
Sorted by series. Labeled as i get them.

I have all my wallpapers in the same folder. Name them after category/series.

I wish there was a good automatic way to organize a wallpaper collection. I use to have mine all nice and neat but its just a big dump atm. I really should take a few hours and sort through em.
>> Anonymous
I used to re-name every single one by hand and keep them all in one folder, but that got to be too much work, that's when I went to separate folders for series and other themes.
>> Anonymous
I plan to sort it by series, then characters. Unknown pics will go into a folder, sorted by themes. I still need to sort it though (12+GBs of pictures is not easy to sort...)

Wallpapers/pictures from 4chan get dumped in C:\img\dump\server\board\

(see pic*)^

After that the wallpapers are sorted in folders by resolution. Would take waaay too fucking long to sort by series or theme and its easier to just go to a folder that would fit well on your desktop anyways.

I don't, I throw anime walls into the Anime Wall folder and all other walls in the Walls folder.

Down them all and folder names.

Entirely unorganized, thrown into either a folder in 'my pictures' or into a folder on another drive. My wallpaper changes every five minutes automatically, based on a no-repeat shuffle criteria. There are a total of 84700 wallpapers, taking 31GB of disk space.

4,807 Sorted walls, about 1k+ in my incoming folder.

Sorted into folders by series/theme/a section of copies at my monitors natural res and an in need of sorce folder for images i like enough to track down what it is.

Its a total fucking bitch to prune and check for duplicates and double images. It often piles up so bad it takes a week of doing an hour or so a day to clean up.

I save them all to a 4chan directory and then sort them into folders by resolution later, makes it easiest for searching through for a background in the size you want.

I used to have it done by series, but that proved to be too much of a pain in the arse for me when I just wanted to browse through for a new desktop. And as for renaming every file... well, fark that, I've got better things (fap fap etc etc) to be spending my free time on...
