In certain situations, a large number of tags in the controlled vocabulary are not a bad thing at all if you still limit the number of tags for each file/entity in general.
I hope your data is not of any value for bad people: 15,115,516 user records are now for sale presumably including emails, usernames, full names, and other account information: https://haveibeenpwned.com/PwnedWebsites#Trello
@devzero Bei Tastatur hab ich nix Besseres gefunden soweit, nein.
Bei "Photos" bin ich relativ emotionslos aber das von Google ist ja auch ganz brauchbar und in die GCam gut integriert, auf die ich auf einem Pixel sicher nicht verzichten kann.
Aber wer weiß ... denke über CalyxOS nach und mal schauen, was es da so gibt.
I do write a lot about Personal Information Management (PIM) topics, I did some PIM research about local file management, I love to give lectures on PIM topics.
Therefore, it's quite natural that people start to believe that my personal PIM situation is near perfect.
@publicvoit
thanks for sharing that, i think it helps a lot to approach a better set of tools and workflow to light up that there is no perfect solution even for those who practice the subject deeply and for a long time.
I never took any strong pattern to organize things until it became a problem when i first had a disk crash a long time ago. when rebuilding things i tried many ways to do things and organize like 15 years ago.
but things began to be way easier to find and organize when i read about your python tools and your orgmode posts. thanks for this !
Did you know that I developed a local file management method that includes #tags? https://karl-voit.at/managing-digital-photographs/ including a 45min talk which is worth watching just because I held it while being half ill. 😜
It comes with a set of (Python-)tools that provide great assistance for adding and managing tags, date-stamps, time-stamps, ...
And a french description of how to use guess file name and your other tools here:
This is post 1 of 7 in the series “gestion de l'information personnelle”
Décrit la gestion des fichiers et des informations personnelles que j’utilise pour tirer du sens de mes archives et les conserver de façon pérenne et découvrable, uniquement avec des outils respectueux de la vie privée
Organiser ses fichiers avec des tags avec filetags
Outils pour un nommage de fichiers retrouvables
Archiver automatiquement ses photos de téléphone
Supprimer les doublons avec un Baobab et Czkawka
script rff : Rename file folder
it helped me to get rid of many things and find things rapidly when i need. thanks for the peace of mind you bring with the vulgarisation and what you do for PIM and orgmode.
