I just did one hour every night before bed of organizing and have a pretty consistent rate of organizing 200 images an hour, so with 50,000 you can be done in 250 days an hour a day, have fun!

>tfw 5.5 gigs
I just name the pics when I get them and search by filename. I have something for most situations that way but I forget about badly named files

well, you've got options

I've got ~18k SFW image files/webms in one big folder, with filenames. Filenames are good if you can be arsed to do 'em.
Just take em, drag a small batch into a folder, name them. Repeat until done. Ezpz.

I've also got a bunch of hentai on an external, mostly sorted in folders by category -- general hentai, shota, 3dpd chicks, general videos, shit I don't really fap to but is worth saving, and then there's a big-ass unsorted pile.
and there, you just start sorting every once in a while -- sure, my unsorted pile is kind of fucking big, but every time I go in, I'll sort a few

the important thing is don't add more shit without naming/sorting it
even if you never finish sorting your old shit, you can keep the pile from growing worse

If it's all sitting in one folder, first run Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder set to 100% match only, and delete all the duplicates you have.
Use GS Auto Clicker to click the delete button if you have thousands of duplicates.

I wrote js script before that helped me sort my collection of 4k (I think) webms. It's basically nodejs express web server with React frontend.

I have normal folder which is one big mess but I don't care.

Then there's porn which splits into film and anime.

Didn't bother to sort anime further.

Then there's shit like sof, bukkake n shit in film folder.

Basically what script does is shows you random video from source folder with a challenge. Like, first you sort it if it's porn or not. Then if it's anime or not. Then for theme or none.

Sfw is easiest thing I think lmao

Again, I've seen it, well, at least screenshots of it. Idk, I don't think that suits me.

There's several paths. I can continue sorting by files or I can make something like booru. Keep all metadata about files in mysql.

Like, sha1 would be key, then there would be file path, then tags and dates n shit.

Make simple react-redux-router-graphql(?) frontend and done.

Or rather not graphql, but knex on serverside for dem query builder. I'm noob in graphql lmao.

Though, having neatly sorted folders would be coolest thing.

Fuckin thank you
You are a god

- Full names and typography, no abbreviations
- Folders that exactly suits my needs
- One layer deep, except for the Jow Forums folder
- Obviously NO MISC FOLDER

>Behold true patrician structure

Oh, and by the way, every single one of my 28'489 files are individually named.

Naming every file? You're sick...

Show full folder structure pls.

How ?

find . -type d

Tags in the filename. Easy to do and searchable by almost any tool (most file browsers, find, fzf, etc).

For example, that file would be called something like: 1540429372243 (anime, kirby, cute, adeleine).jpg

Why the fuck would you overwrite the timestamp?
Now you can't find the thread in the archives very easily.

>Wait for the inevitable hard drive crash and the problem resolves itself.
This but unironically. I have a 300gb clusterfuck of files that I don't care enough about but don't want to delete. I put them on an external drive and am waiting for it to die so I can finally be free.

You don't need to use Hydrus but its best to start relying on tags than a shit number of folders. Your collection is going to grow over the years and folders just make things worse. With tags you can find anything very quickly, multi search, omit searchs, etc.(you probably already knew all this but, just incase anyone else is reading this). Most images viewers already support tagging in some way but like it said, its still time consuming. This is why people like Hydrus because it has loads of features that let you automatically tag images and certain video types like webms automatically. Hydrus is pretty shitty in a lot of areas and isn't perfect but it does way too much to ignore and that's its biggest flaw, is that it does way too much.

Didn't mean to shill Hyrdus this much but I really do wish more people, mostly dev's, can alteast make a better image programs by using hydrus as a reference of what people really want out of an image viewer.

my plan is eventually doing this

>renaming your files
You're just setting yourself up for endless duplicates.

Attached: 1514380484266.png (374x510, 162K)

Is there public software that does this? Shows image, asks X questions and sends image to predefined folders based off the answers?

this
or upload it all to botnet of your choice and let it sort everything.

Attached: image.jpg (850x1323, 649K)

On the off chance that I end up with a few duplicates, I can just use something like rdfind or fdupes

dunno, this is what mine looks like

Attached: thing.png (1193x885, 1.02M)

Disregard that, I suck cocks

very funny xddd you had me xddddd

I haven't tested if this works, but it wouldn't be that hard using mpv and fzf or something similar.

# list of destination directories
options=$(find destination-folders type -d)

# for each file, open it in mpv and display a selectable list of destination directories
find unorganized-files -type f | while read -r file; do
mpv "$file"
dest=$(echo "$options" | fzf)
if [ -d "$dest"]; then
filename=$(basename "$file")
mv "$file" "$dest/$filename"
done

Protip for every hoarded like me: use voidtools everything and windirstat to find any loose random files that lay around your system

I pulled most of shit from my old windows installation folders that I didn't bother to touch before.

Is there a universal say to tag files? Something that works across DEs and OSs?
Maybe keeping the tags in the metadata would work, this way you can send files to someone else while retaining the tags. Wouldn't work on Jow Forums though sadly.

I don't believe so. At best you could have a database of hash-tag pairs and then automatically associate the tags with files that match the hashes in the database.

Getting ptsd and anxiety over losing my images because of this thread....what is the best way to keep the folders in my android phone and pc synched? I am lucky to be able to shitpost at work so I have more images in my phone than on my home pc. Sometimes I will work on organizing my folders while at work but I would like to synch the changes to the copies in my pc

>the important thing is don't add more shit without naming/sorting it
This. Online sorting (in the sense of "online algorithm") is easier than batch sorting.

>simple react-redux-router-graphql
>mysql
Fucking GraphQL, seriously? Unless it's to pad your resume this is such an obvious overkill, OP. Complexity is NOT your friend. How about you store your data in Sqlite and show it with Tkinter (tkdocs.com/)? That would make more sense. You would have an actual desktop application with less effort.

>Why the fuck would you overwrite the timestamp?
Because you want to be able to find the image when you need it.
>Now you can't find the thread in the archives very easily.
Archives can find images by content. It's a more reliable way to find all uses of the same image. Learn to use it.

This is a "the virgin hoarder vs the chad librarian" thread, basically.

>does not keep filenames
useless

Dump everything to Desktop and Downloads

bumpity

yeah, i jokingly call myself librarian among friends

installed hydrys and ran it on small folder
problem is, it's too slow, can't force it to sync tags RIGHT NOWWW and it just copies everything

i've read author's philosophy about this, but i dont like it

Install digikam.

I really hope one day you go to jail for being a pedophile. Loli is not normal, it's pedophilia.

get rekt

>omg fuck you shitlord!
lamo

Yeah its a pain but sadly their is nothing else out there that's better. For the whole copy thing, you can also set hydrus to delete the originals once imported but yeah, that's just how hydrus works. You have to really play around with it and tweak it to get it to do what you want it.

Everything in one folder, tags in file names.

I separate my folders by month (2018-01, 2018-02, 2018-03...) with about 200 files in each folder. Have you run into any performance issues with having them all in one folder?

So I'm Jow Forums fag and I have a similar problem. I have 1000s of pictures of guns, gear, and vehicles? How do you sort something like that?

Only on linux but it was from a VM. I have 110k pics. No issues on windows at all, even the search takes 1-2 seconds at most(indexed).

I can't believe how few people actually keep backups. "OH NO ALL MY DATA IS GONE WHAT COULD I POSSIBLY HAVE DONE TO PREVENT IT"

Use tags see Most image viewers will let you tag stuff with the use of drag and dropping also, 1000 isn't really a lot, you can knock that out in a day or just do a few hundred every hour or 2 and be done with it in just a few days.

>Loli is not normal, it's pedophilia.
Funny because pedophilia is normal.

Useless pile of trash that can't tag shit.

why don't any modern filesystems support tagging as a first class feature?

adobe bridge.

actually you should probably run one of those before you begin sorting

Not important enough, in their eyes atleast. People who mainly use tags are in the minority for something like this so you'd have to really push for it for people to take notice which sucks because the whole tagging scene runs pretty fucking deep especially when you have things like parents and siblings.

>pedophilia is normal
>liking toddlers and babies is normal.

If you meant liking high school age girls is normal, you may have an argument, but that's still ethically wrong, and should be illegal.

Everytime I see someone speak of Loli, it's a prepubescent child, a kid, a baby. You are a pedophile if you like this disturbing content.

>toddlers and babies
You don't know what loli is

>If you meant liking high school age girls is normal, you may have an argument, but that's still ethically wrong
No it's not.

Can I see ur sof folders pls

that's toddlercon, please actually learn the terms when shitposting

Not for one second before replying have you stopped and think about what the prophet Muhammed, may Allah bless him, would say about the matter did you, kaffir???????????

Or better yet, you can just NOT waste time and resource downloading and renaming the same images over and over but I mean, that's just me.

At least Muhammad waited for puberty, unlike most pedophiles.

>download image from Jow Forums
>download same image from Jow Forums again
>they both have different names so there's nothing to prevent this
???

Since there is no universal way to tag images, how about the following:
>put all images in a single directory (only needed if you want portability)
>make a single level deep directory hierarchy for every tag you want
>make symlinks in the relevant directories to the image that you want

Advantages:
>works across devices
>can be used with specialized image viewers and file managers as well as command line utilities

I'm going to try this the next time I decide to organize my folders.

Attached: 1539803129004.png (331x430, 91K)

I usually get all my shit into downloads, then once a week I delete everything I realized it isn't that great, useful or appealing after all, and in the concrete images case, I move them all into my general image folder, then whenever I have time I rename and classify them into carpets and that's it. I try not to have sub carpets unless it is necessary. I think I will add tags on them all whenever I find the time to do that.

I think tmsu does something like that but with a virtual filesystem that lets you do things like

/basedirectory/tag1/and/tag2/or/tag3/
[/code

No, not really

>Conflating loli with pedophilia
They're not the same.

you sick pedoweeb faggot.

>tmsu
Thanks, this is more or less exactly what I was looking for. Will write a GUI tagger for it when I get the time.

Just dump it all in a folder called "Sort" or "to sort" and let it be.
When you accumulate more crap from here, create "to sort 2" when it reaches critical clutter. Repeat ad nauseum for 20 or so years.
She'll be roight m8ty.

Just add the filenames as a tag.

TagSpaces.

it works on windows, linux, android and ios.

you can create tags manually (rename) without the software and it will still work.

Ok, I'll bite.

How does it format filenames when you add tags? I see a bunch of screenshots/videos of the application itself but nothing about how it modifies the actual filename.

You should be using a tagging system and dedicated image archiving application. I've been tempted to write one but eh
