New photo organizer

New photo organizer

I've been meaning to figure out a good way to get organized on my photos. Right now I have my directory structure broken down by d:\images\year\month\day

which doesn't work too bad, but I think I need an organization system that allows searching by content/topic, instead of just date.

Scoble posted about Flickr Organizr, I may have to try it out tonight.

Update 2024:

I actually still organize my photos with the same pattern as mentioned above, but nowadays Lightroom does all that organization for me. I have 20+ years of photos organized by Year/Month/Day and it works out pretty good.

I do need to go back and clean up my photos a bit. With 20+ years I have a lot of stuff I could simply purge, primarily starting with duplicate content. Content that I have the original image, along with smaller/resized versions of the same image. No need to keep the smaller copies, originals will suffice.

Just get Photoshop Album. There is a free version. I suspect that the flickr timeline was influenced by this utility.

ehm, I should say I don't use it, I love Flickr, but it is a nice alternative in case you want a local store :)

I tried Picasa, it wouldn't run on my machine. I am not quite sure why, but when it would start up it would try to go through all the images, and would crap out somewhere in that process. It was uninstalled after a few weeks of trying to get it to work. thx though :)
