Notefile Alternatives

notefile reviews and mentions

• Best lossless compressed file format to archive photos with comments and metadata to?
  1 project | /r/DataHoarder | 24 May 2023

  Then, I use the tool I wrote called notefile to add comments, tags, or anything else I want. It associated them by name, hash, and general metadata but does not modify the items. I don’t like how some domain-specific formats do that.

  I wrote a tool that may help: notefile

• Looking for software that lets me rank (and maybe tag) files? Is Tagspaces a good and safe option?
  2 projects | /r/DataHoarder | 3 Mar 2023

  Honestly, I don't use it. I wrote my own tool to tag and annotate files, notefile, which I obviously trust. And is open source so you can too.

  I wrote a tool for keeping sidecars called Notefile. It’s not exactly what you’re looking for but has some features that may be of interest.

• Software for organizing and tagging videos? (Mac)
  3 projects | /r/DataHoarder | 19 Jan 2023

  I wrote my own CLI tool called notefile which writes sidecar files and does tags. I use it on actual home photos and videos but presumable it works on the “…” kind too.

• Its getting to the end of the year - Start thinking about archiving this years photos - Archiving to M-DISC

  Yeah. It is really frustrating. I wrote my own (and I am rewriting it over Christmas to improve it) called notefile which uses YAML. It is certainly not standardized as it is my tool but the hope is that since it is just YAML, it can always be migrated to something new.

• How to organise old photos and their descriptions offline?
  1 project | /r/DataHoarder | 1 Sep 2021

  I wrote my own tool to do this called notefile. It makes sidecar YAML files. On macOS or Linux, it can also write it as hidden files.

• Apple Launches Service for Transferring iCloud Photos and Videos to Google Photos

  Annote the files, both the exported and the matched, with my sidecar tool

• What is your photo sorting workflow?
  1 project | /r/DataHoarder | 12 Feb 2021

  This is actually the last and only time I mess with photo metadata. Anything else, I use my own tool to create YAML sidecars (often hidden but noted with a separate macOS Finder tag). I don't like to do anything that changes the contents of the file since it makes it sync again.
