Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

How do you organise 18,500 images on a hard drive? (alien.top)

Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work I created for my-self, my files are a mess.

  • How much time you spend just sorting and cleaning all you images?
  • Do you have the same folder structure for all you storage locations? (hard drives, cloud,...)
  • How many files do you have?

Definitely DigiKam! It's really fast (on Linux) and it has some powerful tools for organization. It also comes with face recognition and an AI that classifies your images based on quality. Everything is done on your computer.
