How to organize collections - Like Ra - 10 Jun 2019
How do you organize your collections? Any kind of collections: digital music, digital videos, CDs, DVD's, minerals, stamps, wine, magazines, pantyhose, butt-plugs, books, files, projects, images, tutorials, useful UNIX commands, scripts, programs, web-links, anything.
I noticed, that I spend way too much time on searching. And too often I have duplicates stored in different places. Help?
For example, for audio files it's the easiest. They can be stored in folders (Group name/Album/Tracks), they can be automatically fingerprinted, compared with online databases and tagged, and they can be searched by tags.
For notes, links and projects I use zim https://www.zim-wiki.org/ . No automation, everything is stored in text format, tags can be added and searched, various plugins are supported, no automation though.

I have given up on putting everything in folders, just use some organiser or library software that uses tags. For fotos I use Shotwell.

Okay, On windows I do have my index in the file/windows explorer.
On *nix I use "locate" to find a file by name and find /home/krin -exec grep -li <search> \; to search in files
😉
You see - I am not that organized at all.

I also played with digiKam, the good think is that it shows photos on the map.

I have a large lockable Husky tool chest, where I keep my fetish gear collection.
Inside I sort similar items (arm cuffs, gags, masks, straps, ...) into plastic bags.
But it is still a huge mess, I am always searching for something. I would love to have a walk-in closet just for fetish gear. Also for the ventilation of the goods. But that would require a house with a secret room. Maybe it will be a project for retirement.

Organize???
Hmmm... I've heard of the concept
Photos are sorted by year and, for non-fetish, then sit in folders appropriate to the month... and that's about it.
Fetish related photos have a totally separate section, also sub-divided by year with further sub-folders for each session or theme. I don't tag any images.
Clothing and gear is worse - I've tried time and time again to sort out some kind of organization but ultimately everything always ends up in a hap-hazard pile in one of two lockable holdalls.
Shocking isn't it?
No wonder I spend the first hour or so of most sessions sorting out the bits and pieces I want to use! 😁

So far the best image manager I could find is digiKam: https://www.digikam.org/
The best features:
o- It's VERY versatile
o- Everything is kept in a database, but the tags and additional info can be saved in the images themselves or in separate files
o- If GPS info is embedded, it shows the cart
o- Face recognition (but it does not detect the same person, something to improve)
o- Duplicates search
o- Quality sorter (takes time to analyze and it can fully load all CPU cores)
o- Lots of tags, labels and search methods
Now I need to figure out how I can have several instances of digikam DBs: for family photos, my kinky photos, and prOn collection 😁

Was looking for free autotaggers and uploaded a picture to https://demos.algorithmia.com/image-tagger Here's the result:
Rating - safe - good! 😉
Some tags were "guessed" correctly, though: brown hair, two girls, green eyes, brown eyes.
Can't say it's useful...

Imagga is even more off:
But the rating is still safe!
