Does anyone here use/know any reliable tag/keyword program that would help me organize my wallpapers upon tags/keywords?
Before I have managed just by modification date but now that my collection has reached 4000, it's hardly easy & very time consuming.

My requirements for program like this (if any good ones exist. quick googling just turns up shit & shareware)
- Search from single/multitude combinations of tags
- Exportable database (in case of format/hdd failure/registry wipe)

Any knowledgeable help welcome, here's one my favorite wallpapers in return.

I'm personally using picasa 2 and it seems to work fine.
I discovered the tags system wasn't how I wished for, but the keyword system works fine.

Since it is google who made it, it of course has a search function for the images (with +, -, and maybe even more operators).

The database is exportable as I understand it.

Been keywording walls myself for a long while and picasa2 seems to be just fine for it. (only bug I've encountered is that sometimes it seems like it gays up keywords into a single long word. But it is pretty rare)

It is also still evolving so more things get added with time. It has a very limited experimental duplicate finder (must be same format, same filesize and same image for it to detect it)

www.google.com I think has a link, else it will obviously find it if you search.

6800/11600 keyworded as yet.

Thanks, I'll try that too, in the meantime I found other program, works just like I want it to, PixFiler.
Exportable database, exportable tags/keywords (settings as they are in dropdown & in different layer/subcategories) and it doesn't slow down even at 30,000 pictures in database.
Didn't try the duplicate finder in it as I have other more powerful tool for that, Duplicate File Detective,
very powerful and does it by name,size,date and finally content (up to SHA1 160bit checksum comparing.)
Although PixFiler has the same problem, you can't use keywords/tags as seperate words, it has to together or use space substitution like Striped_Panties.
Also it has advanced search (combination of keywords) and display all with one keyword. The best way to get duplicate free with lousy (weak) programs
is to store all pictures having MD5 Hash as name, then even the weakest name comparing can detect these.
I just store them with MD5-Hash name for fun. Though it's pretty demanding task to add the keywords as they come (series/characters),
atm 100 characteristic tags, 50 genre tags and 200 series&characters tags, and these were coughed up in the first 150 pictures.
