So /a/, how do you organize your collection of images? Do you use tags on the files with Windows? Tags in a database like hydrus? Do you use Folders? Or do you simply have every images in one folder but you give tags to each image in order to find them easier?

I just do what my heart
I just save images as-is all in one folder and memorize them by location.
i dont,
i have a shitload of duplicates and cant find things i remember having in the past

folders within folders. I have a folder for each topic/series then folder inside that for each sub topic/character and inside that i have every picture tagged to find it easily

I'd like to do that.
But with 100k+ pic (NSFW not counted) I'd need an army of chinese children.
>>150734554
I just name them based on the character in the image, and then the content of the image.
If there are significant words in the image sometimes I will name the image just the words, if its a porn image I usually don't bother naming it as I've deleted my porn folders like 4 times already and rebuilt them for fetish purposes.
My naming logic is consistent enough that sometimes I go to save a duplicate image and I end up naming it the same exact thing, so I can spot the duplicates by a (1).

gotta start early with a system like that. I've been keeping up with it from day 1 so its easy to just add new things
Isn't it easier to have all your tagged images in one folder?
For instance:
SeriesName_Something_1.jpeg
SeriesName_Something_2.jpeg
Then just type SeriesName in the folder search bar to find the pic you want.

Danbooru and the archive exist. I don't need to have a folder.

I dunno, do you save all your music in music/ or music/artist/album/?

How
>>150736922
super easy with python
took me 5 mins
I make a new folder when my computer gets slower and if I have seen an image in the last 3 months or so I will remember in what folder I saved that image.
I have a general folder with folders inside for screenshots from anime and random folders all over my computer with images that I get from here inside them. If you mean only images like >>150734608 I don't download images from specific characters because I don't find an use for that.
>>150734554
I just save from shows that i remember though
But i have a nice memory as well so i rarely have duplicates here

Is Hydrus going to save me? My collection is such an unorganized mess.

You might need MySQL in your case.
