Good picture album viewer/filter?
An alternative solution would be to use a batch renaming tool like F2 and rename all the images based on desired variables from the existing metadata
-
Gallery-dl how to put prefix number order in filename?
If you want a "global" index your only choice is to rename "manually" using another tool to batch rename, that is also what I do in the moment, I just sort the files by date of creation and rename them using F2 https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2, but you can also use Bulk Rename Utility or Advanced Renamer which is what I used to use while using windows.

MASSIVE file renamer, possibly batch?
250 would be no problem for the Advanced Renamer GUI. On the other hand, it really bogged down loading more than 2000 or so. And my memory was that the Advanced Renamer command-line version choked down quite badly on huge numbers of files. I wish I could remember how long the Bulk Rename Utility command-line operation took. It seemed quite reasonable to me; the critical thing for me was that I was able to process many thousands of renames in one unattended job, without having to break up the job into smaller chunks, with all the manual intervention involved. I didn't try to assign a particular number of cores for the operation. Also you might want to have a look at https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2 .

Automation - Rename and Organize Files?
F2 can rename based on a CSV file though if that helps
-
what the fuck?
F2 is a cross-platform file renaming tool. I have to deal with a lot of incoming image files and it helps keep my file system sane.
-
Moving large amount of pictures and movies to external HDD
F2 is a command-line batch renaming tool with built-in variables including date (easy to use and easy to revert if a mistake is made)
-
What are some linux utilities/tools/apps you would want to have, that don't exist and think would be really useful.
See if https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2 helps (I haven't used it, just know about it)
-
auto-tagger of large media collections
I'm not sure if the labels are added to exported images, but you could then use F2 to rename the files in bulk
-
Need help regarding mass rename folder
Read the documentation but you can use --max-depth 2 to limit it to two folders deep and use --only-dir to only rename folders
-
renaming files based on date created
There's the awesome but difficult to google f2: https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2 .

Fsearch, a fast file search utility for Unix-like systems
Hi, author here.
Likely the most significant benefit is the more powerful query language. For example you can also search by file modification date or size and use boolean operators. https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/wiki/Search-syntax

Bfs 3.0: The Fastest Find Yet
Yes, FSearch is the one I use, but it's not as great, per FSearch's dev:
> However, FSearch doesn't automatically detect changes made to the file system and update its index then. This is on the roadmap (it's called inotify support) but it'll never work as smooth as Everything on Windows, because the Linux kernel isn't particularly good at reporting filesystem changes
https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/issues/26
Everything is comprehensive + instant + always up-to-date, that's so awesome a combo it's a pity it's Windows only

Copy all mp3-files from several subdirectories into a single directory
If you are new and wish a simple way to search, fsearch is a very nice tool.... https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch

Trying to install Fsearch, but getting an apt-key/gpg error

How and why am I seeing files that I have no access to?
One other program I've been particularly enjoying recently is fsearch : https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch
-
baloo is using 36 GB space, is that normal?
If you don't need content indexing, Fsearch is an alternative. I've been using it for over a year now and it's been working flawlessly. Results are near instant and the db is in single digit megabytes.
- Why searching on Gnome sucks and what can be done to improve it?
-
Does Linux have an equivalent of MFT on NTFS in Windows?
But AFAIK nothing seems to use this, def not fsearch, they have an open issue - https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/issues/26

Name the tools you can't live without!
Still remember those days of arguing on /g/ where linux longbeards stallman fanboys tried to say how this or that tool was good search... but I dont want to just find something, I want to use it that second, and I want the entire system indexed... after getting some webms to showcase that instant feel it got the message across, though later someone appeared with some dmenu trickery being similarly fast and useful... anyway Fsearch that appeared soon after me is the real deal.
