TagSpaces VS hydrus

Either way, will definitely be keeping an eye on your app, it seems ducking cool ;)

TagSpaces – Your versatile file organizer (version 50504): organize, tag and browse your files, photos and documents

Take a file. Add [awesome] to the name. There. You've tagged a file, and you can search for it with your desktop search / fzf / etc. Switch system, copy it anywhere, it works. You can do this by hand. Or, if you like clicks and drag-n-drop, use TagSpaces. Or, use tss.

The UNIX filesystem has traditionally been a graph for ever. I haven't looked at details for a couple of decades, but definitely all UNIX/POSIX/Linux filesystems operate on a graph model.

A distinction I used to make when I was teaching this stuff: on your filesystem tree, on Unix names (labels) are on the links (arrows), while on DOS/Windows names are on nodes (boxes).

If you want to explore a tag-based system, take a look at https://www.tagspaces.org/

The quickest workaround – and the most satisfactory one to boot – is to abandon Windows Media Player. Use a digital asset management app like TagSpaces.

TagSpaces: TagSpaces is a cross-platform tagging and organizing tool that can help you tag and manage your files and folders. It supports various file formats and can be used with local and cloud storage providers.

If the naming convention is different, or you'd prefer to go the tagging route, tagspaces may be your best bet. It can use standard tags in the file, or a sidecar file (file with the same name, but different extension next to the original file) to keep tags with the file.

Agreed. Why not use the filesystem as the database that it is? Modern filesystems support tags or extended attributes that could be used to implement tags. Failing that, just encode tags in the filename. Document management tools could then use the filesystem as the source of truth.

Just download and sort it out later. Title and extension are good enough for me - the best 'metadata' / tag generator is my mind + eyes + ears, which are put to work using Hydrus Network.

For more fine-grained tagging you can use Hydrus https://github.com/hydrusnetwork/hydrus and connect it to FlipFlip.

I can't train LoRAs on my AMD hardware but if I could I would be using the grabber I mentioned above along with Hydrus for database management and maybe IrfanView for batch resizing. Your program handles all of it on its own in a very user friendly manner so congratz for that! Bookmarking it for when I can use it.

Have you looked at hydrus, https://github.com/hydrusnetwork/hydrus?

that looks like a mac ver. of hydrus which is great for sorting & tagging images. I've literally never even thought of it in terms of other media...

Hydrus is a good alternative.

This brings us to Hydrus. My choice of software for tagging. Hydrus is a image database tool for weebs whose image libraries are too large to be practically brosed with windows folder system. It has may features but we are only interested in its tagging system.

I meant something like this.
