I need to sort my images. I'll probably just do it by hand. Shouldn't be difficult. I don't really save much off imageboards, mostly boorus.

>>40592287
>>Are there other programs out there that can help with this task?
Apparently Hydrus, but it's a pain of the ass to setup so I never got it working. Hashes can suck my cock.

>>40592287
I don't know much about coding, but maybe you could set something up where it checks an image on danbooru and other such sites and you automatically place the character in the folder? Any character not recognized could go into a miscellaneous folder that you would then manually set organize yourself.

Took me a bit over two and a half hours with my method. I'm pretty sure typing the same subdirectory name again and again accounted for 70% of the time. I went into this method thinking I'll just make the folders as I go along because I don't know who or from what series these all these images are from but that screwed me over in the long run. It was a good exercise in typing, at least, and relaxing in a way.
In hindsight I should've probably done this with HTML/CSS+Javascript, which can save me lots of time with selecting where to put an image. Can also put in a hyperlink to reverse-image-search through saucenao.
>>40592346
My main issue with doing it by hand was that if I accidentally click somewhere else while selecting a bulk of images, it deselects everything, and I can't just ctrl+z to get the selection back. I think it'll be much much faster otherwise than what I just did, but it'll still be a chore to do it with over 1000 images.

>Hydrus
I'll look into that, thank you.
>>40592886
That sounds like lots of trouble for a short-term task, but good idea. iirc a sizable chunk of these images are from twitter, downloaded there from the time they're not in the boorus yet. I also got some images that wasn't in the boorus while sourcing it, but was in pixiv or twitter.

Here ya go, maybe you'll have the patience to set it up and it'll save you countless hours, haven't tried it in years.

Seconding hydrus. I am an autistic nerd so the interface pleases me, this may not be the case for everyone. There is a learning curve. Once you get trucking it can do pretty much anything. You can easily back up entire booru tags with a few clicks.

I have a Reimu folder and an "Others" folder

I separated my girls in 2 separate folders, one where they're all sorted manually using filenames where first comes the name of the girl, and second something characteristic about the image. The other is the "waiting to be sorted" folder, where I just throw in any cute girls I download and rename them later
It's very time consuming and I've grown lazy to go about renaming hundreds at a time just like I did when I first started, especially now that there's thousands of unnamed cute girls on the unsorted folder, it feels like unless I sit down for 30 minutes on my keyboard to rename everything, I don't get anywhere
Besides that, I at least think it's rewarding at the end. I can go into a single folder and type a girl's name for random images of a character, or type in something characteristic of an image I want and have very specific images.
I've tried Hydrus before but I didn't quite figure out what it did, or how it was going to do it, but everyone I talk to who also hoards cute anime girls in their computers recommends it

Also another thing, I have to rely on 4chanX's filename randomizer because of my method, so that's another downside

What?

>>40603202
I might just be paranoid but anons recognizing my filenames is just another angle to recognizing me in some way, post enough and I'd be easily found by the filenames, then you can just stare at how I use punctuation and how I format my posts to be able to identify any post of mine at a simple glance
Like I said, probably paranoid but having 4chanX make all of what I post look generic keeps me sane

Stop it. You don't need to save every image you see. Quit hoarding data while you still can. It's not healthy for you

>>40605060
I'm saving your reply as a screenshot

>>40605060

>>40605249
Saved.

>>40605060
t. One of the cute anime girls stuck on my computer

>>40605060
The virgin not hoarder

On a serious note, I'm asking the OP. Why are you hoarding images of cute girls? Like, I get it for more explicit stuff, but in your case it's more nebulous to me.

>>40609267
Not OP but mostly to repost it here

can anyone share a mega full of toho pictures? I lost all my collection

>>40609267
You can appreciate more than just lewd images you know. And besides, some artists aren't very keen on archiving their work so better get it on your hard drive before it somehow disappears.

I have a very organized art folder.
Everything is sorted by series, characters, ships, sub folders inside the character folder for nsfw, clothing (hoodie, dress, casual), sometimes by quality.
For example inside my Momiji folder I have a folder called "distasteful".
Hentai folders are sorted by tags, (lactation, long hair, big breasts, flat etc)
Im rather proud of it all.

>>40609567
>You can appreciate more than just lewd images
Do you sometimes look at them?

>>40609684
Of course. They're especially useful to me as refs since I picked up drawing as a hobby. But even before that I browsed through them pretty frequently.

>>40609643
Can you show us what your folders looks like? I'm looking for some ideas

>>40592287
Try to use DeepDanbooru with hydrus-dd to auto-tag the images.
Linux has a feature to tag stuff by default (the attr program)

>>40609773
I will send a picture after I wake up.
Phone posting currently but I'll deliver as soon as I can but it's not really anything special.
Art Dump > weeb > series > character > sub folders (nsfw, ship, clothing)
Or alternatively

>>40609856
Thanks for taking the time to do it!
Morbid Angel are pretty good by the way, neat to see some art with metal logos

>>40592287
In my circumstance, I just foresaw that I was gonna save a bunch of images of hus so instead of saving then sorting later, I sort while I save

>>40605249
saved

>>40605060
you've never owned a drive greater than 250GB.

>>40605005
Take your meds

>>40605005
He's not paranoid, I've had people calling me out by checking my filenames and cross-referencing them with board archives.

>>40592287
Don't you guys think that organizing uses up too much of your time? Right, it is convenient to be able to have everyone in their own place, but in that time you could've saved like 2 extra photos. Talk to me when you hit 50k photos saved. Also note that this was collected over just 3 years.

But none of the girls you saved are cute.

>>40613375
Amd what's bad about that?

>>40613375
that's why I always use the 4chan x filename generator. tI'm too schizo to actually use the real filename

>>40614661
You don't want some people to recognize you

>>40592287
Where's the Aya Shameimaru folder??

>>40609959
Sorry I'm late, I didn't wake up early enough to do this before leaving for work but here you go.
Like I said nothing special.
Top left, Neptunia folder, Top right NSFW folder for the girls.
Bottom left The general folder, bottom right how I sorted the Neptune folder.

>>40616371
Samefag here, heres a look at a folder I've put more effort into.
It still needs more work because that folder has so many images and it's getting hard to find specific ones.

>>40615597
Ok schizo

>>40617224
I care about staying anonymous on a website based on anonymity. Problem?

I have a similar problem, OP.

Right now I have a collection of around 15K pics on Google Photos account with barely any sort of organizing. I used GP because I only had one laptop and didn’t want them coming up at school. It was fine when I started out but now its a nightmare to find things or even remember if I’d saved it before. Now I want to transfer them to my new computer, but with so many pics its going to be a pain.

Then I found out about Hydrus and it seems like a godsend, though I’ve never used it. Has anyone had experience with it? Does it live up to its description?

>>40618280
Just because they recognize doesn't mean you are no longer anonymous

Would someone mind to share their folders?

>>40592287
I throw all general cute anime girls, along with general cute animal pictures in a "cute" folder. However, I do have a separate folder for anime reaction images. Here is a random image from my cute folder.

Is there such a thing as an offline booru, and/or tools to mass download from boorus, for someone who is rather tech-illiterate?

>>40615550
Meds

>>40621712
I'll tell you in a bit

>>40592287
You need more

Having folders is so cumbersome ¿Why don't people use the tagging windows natively provides for?

>>40622275
Already taken

>>40627519
Tags in Windows only work if the filetype allows EXIF data, such as JPG. But many of my images are PNG, so they can’t be tagged. Even if you rename the file extension, you arent changing the actual file data; you have to resave the image. The only semi-convenient way I’ve found of doing this is pasting the pic into an image editor and then saving it. Also, only PNG supports transparency, so converting to JPG would ruin things like cutout images.

>>40620800
Sure, I remember some anon known by his cute file names. It's like namefagging, just in another field.

Sometimes I wonder why I save so much stuff like 2D images but then whenever I remember or need that pic I don't have to worry about seeing the dreaded deleted pics on a pixiv/booru/twitter/etc for whatever reason

>>40633347
Then change naming convention

>>40621712
See >>40592957

>>40622287
More bit

>>40592982
I reallly want to try Hydrus now

Are these rookie numbers?

What do you do for art with multiple characters? Do you have a seperate folder just for pairings and/or group photos?

>>40654559
What I do is case sensitive: If a certain franchise has two characters be drawn together often, they get a "Character A, B" folder on top of their seperate folders. If there is a random, one-off image, then they go into the "multiple people" folder.

>>40605249
I'm saving this too.

>>40605249
In what folder am I saving this in?

>>40654559
Not him but my solution is a separate folder and then using shortcuts. For instance, a separate Reimu with Marisa folder, then a shortcut to it in both the Reimu focused and Marisa focused folders.

>>40592287
I have about two thousand unsorted memes in my downloads folder. I know this feel.

Anyone else use Allusion? I just dump all my shit in one folder and tag them manually.

https://github.com/allusion-app/Allusion/

>>40654247
Yes. You need 20k+ pics to be an average 2hufag.
>t.51k

>>40592287
delete them

>>40621712
>tools to mass download from boorus
you can use gallery-dl or ahoviewer
