/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I use the cloud.

>>10888679
What's a cloud?

>>10888684
Pixiv.

>>10888689
what do you do about deleted art?

>>10888675
>please look at my Japanese folder labels and my usage of Japanese as the default user interface

this thread belongs in /g/ or in the trashbin

>>10888695
What do you mean? Everything on the cloud is archived in another part of the cloud.

I am a big fan of explorer.exe and TotalCMD.

I do not have a Touhou Folder!
I memorize the pictures I like and just think of them when I want them.

>>10888703
Sure I would change all my folder labels and the interface language just to post it here

My folder is a complete mess. And I don't have enough will power to check and organize it.
End of story.

I use Picasa on a TrueCrypt drive but FenrirFS looks cool too. I may have to try that.

I absolutely could not have any control of my pics without tags (how do you sort a pic into folders if there are two characters?). Picasa writes tags straight to the image files which is cool.

>>10888675
I dump them all into my "unsorted toohoos" folder.

Though I've got a Touhou folder in which I organize pictures by artist but I'm usually too lazy to organize them like that.

If I had as many pictures as some of you nerds do I'd probably go with some kind of tagging system.

Use this http://sourceforge.net/projects/imgsorter/

>>10888788
>32,142

fuck's sake

I've got like 2,000 pictures tops.

I guess my autism will never be strong enough for you /jp/.

>>10888835
Did you write that?　Horrible code. Stopped reading at extensions = ["jpg", "JPG", ... Hahaha, what are you, 13? There's always .lower()

>>10888955
Also, synchronous image loading. Never heard of threading before? Worker tasks are basically its number one use case.

>>10888955
It's not mine, write a better one if you think you can and I'll use it.
Preferably not in python.

>>10888963
Take it to the github you autist.

>>10888955
Where'd you /g/ people learn coding anyway. I thought that /jp/ was for truNEETs and truNEETs don't' go to college.

>>10888972
How is going to college and programming related in any way? Even my cat can code, and it's not even five years old.

>>10888972
Python is a scripting language any kid can learn. Either way the best way to learn programming languages is from books and experience not school.

>>10888976
>How is going to college and programming related in any way?

Well you guys aren't learning it through osmosis.

I just use the pixiv file-name and throw it all in one folder when it comes to organizing my folders. Luckily enough for me I don't have a touhou folder.

Did anyone try the Hydrus Network? Seems too complicated for me.

>>10889495
Looks like it came straight out of /b/ or /v/, so no.

Weeaboo as fuck/10.

you should rename all of your media with their md5 or sha-1 hash to minimise the risk of duplicates. remove their file extensions also to make double sure you have a true png and not a gif or otherwise.

>>10889495
Seems interesting. I might give it a try.

>>10889553
>you should rename all of your media with their md5 or sha-1 hash to minimise the risk of duplicates
What program can do this?

>>10889614
you can make bash scripts in linux and run them through the terminal. it is very efficient.

>>10889614
use something like gthumb or shotwell to organise visually if you need to.

>>10888675
how do I use this program? I cant tell it what folders to look in

I just dump the pictures into my folder called "rape dungeon".

>>10889495
I'm going to check it out. I hope it isn't a botnet.

Is there a software that allows for tagging and set search (with union operations) like a .booru would? In the past I used to run a local server with gelbooru on it but it's just a pain in the ass.

>>10889722

>>10889495

>>10889652
You need to create a new profile (from the menu at the top left), then you can tell it which folders to associate with that profile.

>>10889553
I use this program for duplicates:
http://www.duplicate-finder.com/photo.html

I'm a retarded babby who doesn't know what it means to tag an image

Nor do I have time

>>10889759
haha im gay

What the FUG even are all these weird ass programs

I just save shit all over my computer and go on a crazy adventure every time I wanna use a pic here

Keeps things fun

>>10888972

Google. You could become a master jelly maker from the comfort of your smelly apartment these days.

>>10889768
But think of all the time you could save with tagging instead of spending hours trying to look for a file

>>10889768

Same. Half of my System 32 is images. Had to move it all from downloads.

>>10889773

tagging looks like some gay nerd shit i dont fugging care

>>10889755
Oh god, I started running it and it already found 275 similar images. I hope those are all false positives or else I need to re-evaluate my life.

>>10888972
/g/ is too annoying.

>>10888982
Yeah I am, idiot.

>>10888675
You are such a weaboo. Though I can understand if you gather these images from pivix then this setup might be useful.

>>10889786
>Calling someone a nerd
>On 4chan
>On /jp/

Nerd is a badge of honor these days, surely you know that.

>>10889813
I know what glory and honor are when I give a wedgie to you and hop on my expensive car and bang your mum.

>>10889817
Stop being immature and get out.

>>10889819
Make me nerdo

>>10889819

>Stop being immature

are you actualy serious m8? lmao
sorry for not being "mature" enough for you away and tell the teacher on me if itll make you feel better

>>10889827
What a [cute] [beato] [beatrice] [catgirl] [umineko]. Can even be used as [reaction image]. Saved [from 4chan].

Here`s my Touhou pic collections.

>>10889835
Do you seriously type all that for every image you save?

That's time consuming.

>>10889755
>http://www.duplicate-finder.com/photo.html
>awesome
And page closed.

I have a folder labeled "Touhou" and everything goes in it.

One day I'll sort it properly.

>>10889868
Woah! Look out buddy, you have malware on your computer!

>>10889871
How can you instantly get the 218 pictures of a cute Marisa sitting on a broom preparing to master spark with a smile on the face otherwise?

Tidy yourself, anon.

>>10889873
what?

>>10889788
i dont believe it

>>10889868
Fuck off, animu streaming scum.

>>10890014
Only searching for exact duplicates is stupid.
Use visipics. It'll find samples, resizes, crops, slight recolors and all that crap.

>>10890016
What's so bad about streaming anime? I'd actually like to stream/watch some anime right now. Somebody recommend me something. Show me that you are otaku.

>>10890028
>What's so bad about streaming anime?

Apart from the fact the it looks like shit and gave you eye cancer?

touhou/character/filename_explaining_the_image.png

>>10890058
How many images do you have?

>>10890058
Manually renaming your images is the higherst order of autism.

>>10890061
Idk
>>10890062
Makes them easier to select
-enter directory
-start typing the name
-done

I group them by their names and have one big folder for group pictures.

More importantly, how do you organize your ero-doujin folder?

>>10890183

Computer
- Most Touhou pictures divvied up into folders based on character or faction. My Rumia folder is further organized into subfolders based on specific categories (alternate outfits, eating food, doujinshi, etc.)
- Group pictures that do not prominently exhibit any one character or faction get sent into a group folder
- Characters/factions do not get dedicated folders until I have at least three pictures of them.
- Canon volumes (WaHH, CoLA) get their own folders, however official illustrations by themselves are filed with the other single images
- Non-Touhou pictures are filed in folders according to interest. Interests are based off of 4chan boards. For example, all of my MC Ride pictures go into the /mu/ folder
- Uncategorizable pictures go in a /b/ folder
- Porn has its own separate folder, however I am subject to frequent spurts of moral indignancy, meaning that I often delete my H folder in whole or in part. As of now I have only a few dozen misc. smut files

Phone
- SERIOUSLY cute pictures go in a cute pictures folder
- All others go in a general pictures folder
- Content of both is managed and pruned regularly, and is limited to ~150 files overall to avoid clutter

I save images with their Pixiv filenames too, and I recently came up with a "tagging" system that solves the problem of not changing the filename or file contents. Basically I have my pictures in a loose directory (I'm thinking of sorting them by character) and then I create symbolic links to them in these directories. Of course I can make multiple symlinks to the same file, so a picture of Alice might be linked in actions/smile, character/alice, clothes/yellow_hair, clothes/no_hat, numbers/single, and setting/gensokyo.

Now it's pretty easy to use the standard programs to, say, search for images where a group of characters are smiling, or all group images without Flandre.
Of course, I'm nowhere near done. I have thousands of images, and this current hierarchy represents a few hundred of them. I definitely need to add more directories, and I'm debating whether or not to have "negatives" like "no_hat".

>>10890210
God, I wish I had the patience to learn how to do all this. Sounds so efficient.

>>10890028
Not even /a/ wants you. Get out of here, idiot.

>>10888707

What do you mean?

>>10888675
Can you freely add tags to pics like in the boorus? Do tags create a category as a folder?

>>10888710
i do that too.

>>10888846
>2000
How? a few hundreds of pics is usually what I have in just "one anime that I don't really bother with" folder...
And that's just SFW pics I carry in my external HD.
If you gonna count manga, doujin and H images there are just too many to count.

yfw normalfag

>>10890310
epic facebook pic dude

>>10890210
>symlinks
you are of genius, I never thought of that.
Will organise lolisv4 and my own collection (and a site dump if I can find it) into something more respectable.

>>10890183

Same as you, by author. Having 1700 of them though, has made me keep a folder with a single image from each author just for quick references.

Good if you wonder where to find that comic with the dick girl and tan lines.

>>10889755
windows only.

2/10 would not bang.

>>10888788
>how do you sort a pic into folders if there are two characters?
I choose the one I like the most

>>10889553
this is way too autistic

>>10892300
Nope, that's just a guy trying too hard.

What he says is pretty much pointless. A bunch of methods to do it better:
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compare/

Some rely on checking the file hash, some use ImageMagick's image data hashing.

>>10888675
do you have to manually do that or is there a program that some how organizes it for you?

>>10888675
I have a base folder, and inside it I have a folder for each game, household or character pairing.

So far I have manually collected 19.799 pictures (not including manga or any H-works) saved in 23 different folders, occupying a total of 9,66Gb.

I check for duplicates using "alldup", and rename misnamed files using "ant renamer". I manually sort pictures into each corresponding folder. I backup this folder every 2 months into an external HDD on a hidden, encrypted partition.

Right now I have to sort over 400 pictures that I saved in the last 3 weeks...


>>10890183
Touhou manga (lewd and non-lewd) sums a total of about 1200-1500 folders occupying
somewhat about 27Gb, so the total Touhou doujinshi may round that number. May be a bit less maybe due to folder layout. Porn may be like 4-5Gb.

So, I sort Manga in 2 categories Touhou, and anything else. I sort them by Year and by Month.

Example:
The "2009" folder has 12 subfolders called "01 - Jan" "02 - Feb" "03 - Mar", etc. So I can find things easily and sorting by name suddenly becomes really useful.


All this is kind of a joy, and a torture at the same time. I can't stop.
And let's not start about HDD defrag.

Hey, does anyone have that image that used to be posted in the flanfly threads? You know, the one where Flandre is holding up a card, and it says something about "idiots thinking they are in good company" and whatnot.
Also, I tend to sort my touhou pics by characters, and the characters are sorted by area.

ACDSee has all kinds of tagging options, but I haven't actually got around to using hours tagging all my pictures yet. I probably have to do it at some point. Instead I just mainly use it for browsing through images, instead of Infranview or whatever.

At the moment all is jumbled up.

right click > save as > my pictures


faggots

the same way i organize any other ip.

name of ip (if japanese then title is japanese so i can get reading practice) > images > character name (japanese again). if more than one female character or male character in a non lewd image it goes into a group folder.

touhou isnt anywhere near big for me so no further organization. my pokemon and ragnarok online folders are probably my largest so they get further classification like main chatacters/playable, villains, pokemon, etc.

al lewd imaged are mixed in with nonlewds. no renaming, just keep defulr and no tagging. i have no patience or drive to do any of that.

>>10892449
And if you want to find a certain picture?.

/home/me/Pictures
/home/me/Pictures/old
/home/me/Pictures/old/old
/home/me/Pictures/old/old/old
/home/me/Pictures/old/old/old/old

Each successive "old" represents about a year of "archived" images. They're all 4chan, Pixiv, or booru filenames, with the occasional random filename from Google Image Search. There are no other subdirectories.

Do you put touhou images in an artist's folder and tag for source, or artist's works in touhou folder and tag for artist?

Location/Characters
Location/Pair of characters
Location/Specific location/Characters

If there is enough pictures/variety within a character's folder, I'll make additional folders for clothing styles or something similar.

From SA and up, I just use the game's name in place of location.

Then I have a folder for pairings. Which goes like this.

Matching Stages/(game)
Same Stages/(game)
Heroines
Heroines & others/(Heroine)
(name of pairing that doesn't fit in the above criteria)

Group folders have groups of 3 characters or more. A bunch of folders goes like this.

Groups of (#/currently at 13)

If there's more, it just sits in the base. The group folder is further categorized with folders like:

Hags
Heroines
Magician 3
Marisa Harem

Then there's a folder for random comic strips, parodies, PC-98 characters, and others I can't remember.

>>10892563
I don't tag but I generally override putting in the series folder if I know the artist and instead put it in my artists folder.

I usually only make an artist folder if they have a significant amount of work I saved or want to save of if their art strikes me significantly in quality or content.

For example, not Touhou, but for Haga Yui has drawn a lot of Disgaea images. I put all of his Disgaea images inside of his artist folder instead of my Disgaea folder.

>>10889553
>>10889619
Is there anyway to do this in Windows? Using md5s as image names sounds like an attractive way to organize images and helps keeps dupes away.

>>10888846

>>10897688

Also, "USELESS AND 4CHAN SHIT 8" has 136,156 images now instead of 46,684.
