■i have over 15000 unsorted images in my computer (´ー`)
│
├■i used t o be in the same boat
││over 20k
││i fucking deleted them all
││
││just do it. you never look at them
││
│└■I am also in a similar conundrum. Most images I manage to categorize
│ into different folders (one of them is a massive wallpaper folder), but
│ I usually throw unsorted stuff into the default Saved Images, or leave
│ them to rot in my Downloads.
│ It's lazy, but one of these days I'll get around to sorting them out.
│ ...Eventually
│
├■get to work lol
││move a few at a time every day and name/sort them ヽ(´∇`)ノ
││I'm in a similar situation, I have to do that for like 10k pics
││I'm being lazier and just naming them as I see them, although I wish my image viewer made this less hassle
││
│├■with time i think i will be able to name them all, i have the unique problem where i don't know how to classify some
│││of them because some of them could fit in 2 or more folders (for example i have a folder for reactions and a folder for
│││funny stuff and some cat pictures could fit in both)
│││also i found out i had partially sorted them ages ago so i have a bunch of folders that i have to empty out and re-sort
│││because they are not descriptive enough (i have a "cool stuff" folder that contains OC, random funny yt videos and
│││even flash animations) (´ー`)
│││
││└■nothing I have is classified like that into folders, it's way too much
││ effort
││ although if you're HARDCORE (and on Linux), you could symlink files into
││ those folders, so you have one copy of the file showing up in two
││ folders
││
││ sorting files like that would be more important on Linux too since I
││ don't know of any Linux file manager that deals with like tens of
││ thousands of files in a folder that well, they ALL suck compared to
││ Windows Explorer lol
││
││ but on Windows, genuinely don't bother lmao ヽ(´∇`)ノ
││
│└■...shit. I lied, there are like 61k images here. (゚ー゚)
│ │I just got home and actually checked how much was in the folder. It's
│ │not 100% unsorted, but...
│ │It's rough. It's mostly unsorted. I'll probably never finish, but oh
│ │well. (´ー`;)
│ │
│ └■do eetttt.... i finally got around to sorting through my thousands of
│ │files and deleting all of the duplicates i had. it took me a couple
│ │weeks on
│ │and off of working through them, but eventually i got through it and it
│ │feels so good to have my stuff organized and (mostly) named now. it was
│ │a grueling, miserable process, but worth it. pop some music on and it
│ │might help it go by more smoothly.
│ │
│ │i know where everything is and can find what i need with minimal effort,
│ │and it's all in "one place" so i don't have to plug in my externals and
│ │go through a bunch of unsorted folders fumbling about helplessly trying
│ │to find what i'm looking for. by "one place" i don't mean in one folder,
│ │but my files aren't all scattered about haphazardly anymore.
│ │
│ └■threw together a script to help
│ pictures with the same character in it, I throw into a folder and add a
│ prefix with the script to whatever their existing filename was, then I
│ put them back
│ would keep them in separate folders but it is MUCH more convenient to
│ browse through them in one big folder, at least on Windows
│ I really need to find a Linux file manager that doesn't eat shit on a
│ folder with this many items, and I am MUCH too lazy to write my own lmao
│
└■tiem to sort... and if they're all unix file names then good luck
thinking of names 4 all of them (´∇`)σ
