Image management software

[Eclipse2025]

Good day everyone, this post is mostly soemthing im trying to look into. So ill try to be as clear and descriptive as possible.

 

I, like many of you out there have a sizable collection of sfw and nsfw media, (jpg, png, mp4, webm) and its is desperate need of some kind of organization. 

 

However i just dont have the time to dedicate to doing so considering it grows daily. 

 

Since ive been on e9, and other similar websites and like sites i noticed that when i upload any content, it attempts to create tags based on what it pulls from the respective media, and then you, as well as others in some cases, add the rest.

 

Without have to resort to basically creating an offline e9 equivalent. And trying to learn web design and maintenance, i was hoping someone knew of some software that could be run, not only to help organize based on tags it sees but tags i add to it. (And while im for purchasing the software, im not trying to go down the route adobe is taking with expensive monthly/yearly subscriptions)

 

Ontop of checking periodically for duplicate files so im not accidentally downloading the same media 25 times without realizing it. (This isn’t required to be apart of it but if it is, great)

 

Can anyone offer some advice?

 

Stop 1: Ive tried hydrus, and while i may just be misreading the startup guide, trying to set up the deep ai scanner to where it can be used to scan the many Gb’s worth of images i have to tag them appropriately hasnt been fruitful. Im technical but not moderate in many cases. I could just be missing on something but its just been a major hassle to setup and get running. 
 

Stop 2: And running an offline e6, seems to be its own challenge and a half with docker. 

All i need it to do is be able to scan and tag everything i have, (like, characters that have a certain hair color or eye color) (I can see an error every now and then, and make changes to help it learn). But either be easy to use or easy to learn and use without having to jump through flaming hoops to get it running properly. 

 

I know this is asking a lot, but im not trying to waste weeks to get this even started. Again thanks in advance for any advice or assistance.

1. Make separate directories for each filetype by extension

2. To move each file by extension type, in the standard terminal

     for /r "c:\source_directory\" %x in (*.pdf) do move "%x" "c:\target_directory\"

 

This command will copy recursively all *.pdf files from the source (and all of its subdirectories) to the target directory.

To exclude files in subdirectories omit the /r switch.

 

And as long as you didn't change the names of the files, when you try do download a file that you already have, a popup will appear asking if you want to replace a file that you already have. And if you did change the names, there are applications that will find the duplicated images, where you can delete them.

 

Also, after you have moved the files, you can make two subdirectories to separate the SFW and NSWF type files. Here though, you'll be required to do this manually.

 

You can even separate the files into categories, like Space, People, Animals, etc. for more granular sorting. It just depends on how granular you want the categories to be.

Thomas4, I appreciate the answer but im not trying to sort by extensions, im trying to sort by content of the image. In essence tags. But or at least a primary tag like person 1, person 2, etc… but i need a program that can in essence make the sorting easier and more efficient. Not spend 2 months manually sorting myself.

In theory, DigiKAM could do this. I haven't tried as indexing takes time and resources to get build. It is open-source software and has automatic face recognition. From documentation, I'm not sure whether it would have other automatic tagging based on other contents. https://www.digikam.org/

 

The other way to go would be to pick trial for one of these, https://en.eagle.cool/blog/post/image-tagging

Then you would have images with tags of current library, import to digikam and do it semi-manually when adding new content.
