Hello /Ω/! Does anyone please know about an image organizer that doesn't change the image file while adding metadata? I've heard about a program where every image gets a "card" that tags along with it and where the metadata is stored. Preferably free, or at least not a subcription service. Thanks in advance!

>>83933 digikam has an option to write metadata to "sidecar" files only. These appear on the filesystem as filename.jpg.xmp files and use the Extensible Metadata Platform format (basically XML). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Metadata_Platform

>>83944 Thank you, dear Lainom! :3 Exactly what I was looking for. And I never even knew what XMP is.

>>83933 Booru software would do the trick nicely. Also, there's https://tmsu.org/

Any lainons using Hydrus Network? Worth it? >>83952 tmsu is great since it integrates quite well with regular shell commands, a la tmsu files goon_material | while read line; do img2sixel $line; done Just never ever break those file paths. Personally, a drawer-like mental model of where my rare frog is stored wins over eventually anyway to be honest. Too much work.

>>83956 I tried Hydrus, and setting it up without Docker was a pain in my assholes. Also, the code is a mess too. I am now tempted to write my own Booru, and I had the database done but I stopped working on it due to motivation issues. Maybe I'll pick it up soon again, who knows.
