• How to tag and store pictures downloaded from the internet?

  Digikam seems ideal for this https://digikam.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• What are your favorite methodologies for organizing digital life

  I have all of my photos (with the exception of smartphone photos... ugh) in a nicely constructed set of folders \photos\yyyy\yyyymmmdd\ then the folder made by the camera, etc. I've got a small python script to generate the folders. I use Digikam[1] to do facial recognition and tagging on them. It's finally gotten to the point where it doesn't crash all the time writing metadata, and the facial recognition is... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• are there any free self-hosted DAMs like Adobe Experience Manager [AEM]?

  I use digikam for my own personal library. I’m not sure if it’s able to be run from a server, but I know you can hook up a NAS to it to manage it. Can tag photos, rank, organize, etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for a simple Photo manager/DAM for not photos advice?

  Check out digiKam. It has photo editing tools as well, but the main focus is photo management. Also it is free and open source. Source: about 2 years ago

• Looking for a way to tag my photo collection with keywords

  But with that many photos, I'd suggest a more fully featured digital asset management (DAM) program. Lightroom (paid), DigiKam, or DarkTable (both free) are good choices. PhoTool's IMatch (paid) also uses exiftool and is extremely powerful with regards to metadata. Source: about 2 years ago

• Tools to deduplicate files

  Https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka by far the best of anything iv tried. Source: 7 months ago

• fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files

  I've used Czkawka (https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka) because it does Lanczos-based image duplicate detection, which makes it more practical for me. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• AllDup suddenly taking forever to process/delete selections

  Maybe it's a setting you made or the files, not sure. You can try another software czkawka to see if you get better results with it. Source: 9 months ago

• Is there a file duplicate finder that works with animated jpegxl-gif?

  For static images I used https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka and it works well enough. I think. But when I used it on a folder with gifs and their jxl conversions, it shows nothing. SURELY this could not be user error, rrrright? Source: 10 months ago

• PhotoPrism: Browse Your Life in Pictures

  I used to use DupeGuru which has some photo-specific dupe detection where you can fuzzy match image dupes based on content: https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/ But I switched over to czkawka, which has a better interface for comparing files, and seems to be a bit faster: https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
