Hey /g/ thought I'd ask a quick question here, or a couple

*simply don't have time to individually save images with meaningful filenames

the more I use "explorer" type file managers the more I realize they are grossly outdated and do not at all meet the requirements of modern computing. They are essentially the windows 3.1 file explorer with some extra gloss. Total Commander is a step in the right direction.

We have numerous systems to add tags to music and images yet no way to interact with these tags besides using specific programs to manually view them.

Just delete all your useless Anime pictures you baka

You could probably whip up some python to do this. It's not a bad idea, something that lets you quickly flick through photos and assign tags.

right I was thinking something like a very simple program that basically just browses through images in a folder and displays a moderately large thumbnail

At that point you simply type in either single tags or multiple tags separated by commas or some other predetermined character, whatever is easiest for you to hit several thousand times per sitting

Once the tags are done you simply return and it simultaneously saves the iptc tags and loads the next image and the process begins again.

You would need some other utility to create new folders and automatically sort images according to the first tag and then create subfolders in order of tag precedence

That's probably harder than it sounds since loading tags for hundreds or thousands of images takes a long time if you aren't running a fantastic computer

this

It might also be beneficial to have some sort of denomination of sortable and unsortable tags ie you might want to add a tag that is searchable that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the subject of the image

How many images do you have? I have the exact same problem as you.
I think the only possible way I could sort this is if I wait for machine learning to get good enough for a neuralnet to autotag it all and sort it.
But I don't know of any software that's fast enough. (I know about I2V but it's not good enough yet and too slow).

was fooling around and discovered Adobe Bridge

It's painfully slow to tag images but it does work quite well and supports file operations within the program itself

it saves the information as XMP which not all filetypes can take advantage of, there are weird quirks with certain pngs and it does not work at all with gifs
