What is /g/'s opinion on this Hydrus thing? https://hyd

Do you have to tag stuff yourself? I need some sort of AI.

>>60266109
I think you tag it yourself unless you're getting it from a source with tags that it can scrape.
It's open source so you could probably train your own tagger and hook it in or something.

>>60266158
I already have so many images though
Still seems like something worth doing

Shit

It puts all your images in one folder instead of monitoring existing folders.

Oh wow it took winplebs 20 years to make something we already had

That is my main concern, I like idea of taggin system with duplication detection and other nice features but I worry about relying on it over base file system too much.

>>60266038
Medium term user and one of the few anons who brought it up a bunch of times recently.

It's good.

Kinda wrong. There are three ways to tag in hydrus right now.

One is the ability to use tag database dumps scraped from various services. It has hashes and tags, you add it into hydrus, and your files get the tags.

The next way is grabbing tags as you download the images themselves from the sites (*booru, deviantart, pixiv...) Hydrus supports downloading from.

The last way is a PTR - public tag repository... almost always the main PTR. Hydrus' own tag archive server where Hydrus' users share tags. You do synchronize against that (have a full local copy) and can submit tags. It maintains a DB independent of the *boorus and so on.

What do you use?

>>60266301
Yea, it's organized according to hashes, like typical big data software / database internally.

It does make accesses faster when you scale up, but I guess it can be not what you want if you want your own folder-based organization instead.

>>60266368
Your choice. I find it way more useful than filenames and folders (which took way too much time to maintain even for not that many files).

>>60266576
If I want to do operations on some subset of my images is there an easy way to get them in their own directory then reimport them or something?

>>60266444
Are you using it on windows and how many files are you using it for?

>>60266616
>If I want to do operations on some subset of my images is there an easy way to get them in their own directory then reimport them or something?
You mean, if you for instance wanted to recompress all your lossless png to lossless flif (not that I think lossless flif is supported at this point, but just as example)?

It's (click wise) very easy to export / copy filenames / move -> do whatever -> re-import.

Hydrus even has support for automatic import & export folders that can act on a few simple rules, if that'd help in your case.

But the round trip involved may or may not be fast. It'll generally re-hash & compare at import against all databases you have told the client to use.
And then it also recreates perceptual hashes for the duplicate identification unless turned off.

>for windows
What's *nix support like? Is it half broken or not performent?

>>60266648

Linux.

Probably fewer than you? Must be that.

>>60266825
Works okay, but the dev does not test the Linux releases equally much as far as I can tell.

He's nice about fixing reported Linux issues, though.

I'm reading intro guide.
If it discard filenames what will files I upload to 4chan be called? Is there a way to preserve timestamp/filename?

>>60267456
> If it discard filenames what will files I upload to 4chan be called?
If you just copied the file's current path, you'd get the sha256 sum as filename, like:
8fbd27214bca70cf48b5ab8347c014a00121cf4a4d79732536c80fb971ccb70b.jpg

You can also go through the export dialog and compose filenames of the selected files from (individual / all) tags, for instance with the pattern
[series] [character] [creator] {tags}, which will generate a filename containing everything in the "series" and "character" and "creator" namespace, then all tags (all tags can be a VERY long filename, maybe not so genius... but it depends I guess).

>>60267744
Sounds good.
