I have a lot of files. Some of it is my own artwork. Most of it is my
boyfriend's art. (2,000 pictures from his Twitter alone?!)
I want to tag hundreds of files and sort them.
Hydrus Network is good for pictures. Problem: it only works on pictures. It doesn't like text or 3d files. It also copies all your files to its own folder and renames them, which takes up space and makes it confusing to navigate with anything other than Hydrus.
The next best thing appears to be
TagStudio, which looks promising, but it's still in alpha and it's terribly slow.
Adobe Bridge uses checkboxes. It doesn't look like it wants to support hundreds of tags. Maybe there's some settings I haven't looked at to make it easier to mass-tag things.
Tagspaces seems popular but is very slow, very ugly, and wants you to pay money for basic features.
Damselfly's installation is too complicated for my smooth brain but it does have AI auto-tagging which is neat.
I downloaded the free version of Daminion but it wants me to restart my computer to install which I don't want to do right now because I have to go outside soon. We'll see how it is.
What's the solution here? Must I concede to hosting Szurubooru? Does that even support the weird filetypes that I want? Am I stuck with Hydrus being the only decent software for this kind of thing?
