>I’ll probably check this out, too. Hydrus is pretty fucky on troonix. I loved it on windows 7.
It's very fucky on linux. The whole switch happened when I finally left windows for good for me. I had to update it and it was like 40 versions old, they suggest downloading and upgrading the database in steps of 5 versions, which is already retarded as shit. Some point during that the database got corrupted and it all was fucked for me. I didn't feel like debugging it to get it to work or re-doing the migration for software that only kinda works to begin with on linux, so I looked for alternatives.
Tag studio is decent, depending on what you're looking for. I was looking for "software to categorize and tag memes", not a booru specifically, and for that it's quite decent.
A recent update fucked with autocomplete though, and since then multi word tags are a little fucky, but it's "good enough (tm)" for my needs. And the database export is a json, meaning it's easy to repair/adapt, making corruption much less bad than with hydrus, where you're basically shit out of luck.
I suppose it depends on what you need the software to do to decide if it's worth it.

One thing I think about a lot is a kind of XML or JSON tagging system. Instead of

Tags are for searching, what you want is a description.
>>
>>108207006
Searching for a girl that is on her back, instead of being forced to search for "girl + on_back" and getting a bunch of results with a boy on his back plus a girl standing, seems like a valid use case to me.
>>
>>108207032
1girl on_back -1boy
>>
>>108207056
Sorry, that was a bad example. If you want 1girl 1boy specifically with the girl on her back and the boy standing, there is no way to search for that under the flat tag framework. A hierarchical tagging system is required.

>>108203896
I hate how it wants to import every image to a database. Why can it not just use a directory for the files and then have a metadata database?

>It's very fucky on linux
Works on my machine. It's python and sqlite, why wouldn't it? The only thing that annoyed me is that the mpv playback is a hackjob and doesn't work on Wayland, but you can just make it use x11. The only other way its fucky is that it's very desktop centric and doesn't have good automation. If it was designed like a proper linux app it would have automated tagging by now.

Your issues sound like you hit an untested path for sql migration due to trying to hurry through 40 releases. I just let the aur package upgrade me one version at a time and then there's no risk of that. Easiest way to fix would be to restore your backup and upgrade 1 by 1 since that will always be tested. desu I would be much more likely to get lazy about upgrading on Windows since it's a manual thing
>>
I want more advanced tags, like being able to draw a circle around an object and tag it.
>>
>>108207123
Does sound work in hydrus for you? It does not work at all for me and nothing I’ve done or searched for fixes it.
>>
>>108206929
I've mentioned it before, but we really do need an "object" based tagging system, instead of this "scene" based system that all boours are. Then you could accurately search for things when there are multiple people in an image as well as providing some relationship tagging.
>>
All I fucking want is software that allows me to tag files directly using built in metadata fields that files has

Like, I install the software, I can right click a file in my file/folder browser, and part of the dropdown that pops up on right click says "edit file metadata", and then it just displays every possible metadata field and allows me to type whatever in

Why does nothing like this exist
>>
>>108207123
It's been a while, just from memory:
- inconsistent UI, with menus not opening or displaying correctly, or opening but not showing any entries
- broken video playback, often with fucked audio
- corruption of database, arguably the worst offense
>I just let the aur package upgrade me one version at a time and then there's no risk of that
Maybe you're right and that wouldn't be an issue, but as I said I went from windows, which didn't auto update, so I was many versions behind, to linux. Not skipping the versions wasn't really an option.
>Easiest way to fix would be to restore your backup and upgrade 1 by 1 since that will always be tested
It was some shit like 70 or so versions it was an obscene amount. I just couldn't be arsed.
Anyways tag studio works for me so I won't switch back until it breaks, if it works for you then I'm glad it does.

>- corruption of database, arguably the worst offense
Also not OS specific. Would have happened like that if you tried to upgrade on Windows too. It is, however, quite dumb that Hydrus does M-N database migration instead of chaining one at a time like a sane program. There should really be a bigger warning that neglecting updates will get you trapped in an old version forever, or having to deal with a massive pita. This is one thing I like about linux doing so many auto updates.

>>
>>108206929
Maybe I don't get what you are asking for, but how is that not possible with the current systems?
Most of these programs have tag inheritance and boolean expressions.
So you can look for
boy and girl and bikini and vaginal
, where vaginal pulls in sex due to inheritance anyways.
Attaching tags to specific other tags, what you are hinting at with modifying just feels like a lot more pain to set up and tag for negligible advantage in filtering granularity.

"bikini (modifying girl)" is just another way to search for "bikini ∧ ¬ crossdressing".
"sex between boy 1 and girl 1" is just "sex ∧ ¬group ∧ ¬homosexual"
"vaginal (modifying sex)" is just "vaginal" as sex would be a parent tag anyways.

>>
>>108207373
if you're a real man you'd decide the strict hierarchy of your files into folders. tags exist because most people are too fickle to make choices in life. while an object system would probably be better, it quickly becomes too much work for people to add complex chains of interdependent tags to files. Tags are like the goldylock zone where it's basically unstructured, but because it's easy to add a new tag to a file more files will end up being tagged with as many possible tags, which makes it easier to find the laying woman and her man than if the tagging was left undone for being too arduous.

Windows never wants to let my external drive go whenever I use Hydrus. Always saying its in use after using Hydrus.

I think I get what that guy is talking about, and it's a problem with traits associated to a parent entity. This is a problem with both boorus and panda and it's caused by having tags be a flattened instead of a tree.
Say you want a picture of a plain bookish girl and a gyaru. You could search something like:
2girls glasses braids long_skirt gyaru

But boorus and panda for that kind of query would not care which character the traits belong to, and you could end up with a picture of three people, a boy with glasses, a gyaru with braids and a girl in a long skirt.
I'd like to be able to do searches like:
girl{glasses,braids,long_skirt} girl{gyaru}

and get those traits only on one specific girl, and not any other type of character. Basically matching a tree against a tree instead of a flat tag list against a flat tag list. I'm pretty sure that searching that would be computationally expensive as fuck though.

Not only does hydrus support that, but it has the public tag repo which handles a lot of that automatically (e.g. if you tag something with "rei ayanami" it adds the "NGE" tag to the image automatically). Only downside is that the full mapping file is ~60gb when uncompressed
>>
>>108213661
IIRC the problem is that hydrus handles video by running some kind of rube goldberg setup where it has an mpv process paint into its window. Wayland doesn't like this. It works fine if you force xwayland by unsetting WAYLAND_DISPLAY, but I doubt it will ever be native it handles playback in a less hacky way.

That's how the mpv one works, yeah. I believe the QtMediaPlayer one is embedded properly, but for whatever reason the old config caused crashes pretty regularly. The new one doesn't.

>>108203896
I've been looking for a durable solution to the "storing hundreds of thousands of memes and needing to find an exact one years later" problem of mine for a decade. Storing them randomly then trying to find them doesn't work. Trying to organize them by folders doesn't work. Trying to use specialized software doesn't work. Here's how I do it. It's entirely file based:
I name my files with with searching for them later in mind. Full path is searched so files are okay. Image I want to find a pepe (the can also be named frog) that wears a fruit hat. But let's say I have way too many files of pepe wearing apple hats and I don't want those to clutter the results. I can search that with something like:
>fd -aH . ~/memes | rg -ie pepe -e frog | rg -i hat | rg -i fruit | rg -iv apple | t
Finally I pipe this newline separated list of full paths into "t", my thumbnailer function. It symlinks the files to /run/$UID/search-results so that I can visually view them and select the exact one I want. So now, as long as I bothered to name the file with enough distinguishing keywords, even if it's an exact specific meme I'm looking for years later, I can quickly search 250k files and find it. Best of all, no special software needed beyond the Linux basics. You can replace fd and rg with find ~+ and grep -E. Of course being a terminal shell command that works on plaintext means it can be adapted in all sorts of ways.

I even use this file based system to create my personal journal entries and even schedule appointments. All by just prepending a sortable date to the file name and some invented words to denote the status. Example, if I have a one and a half hour appointment at 10 AM tomorrow:
20260224 1000-1130 @a@ 4chan-g trolling appointment.txt
Later it could become a journal entry like:
20260224 1000-1130 @i@ made anon seethe on 4chan-g.txt

I switched to Linux mint last week. I forgot how nice it is to use a file explorer window that doesn't need to send a screenshot and upload info to a cloud server every time I open a folder or file.

Hydrus works pretty good honestly, but my biggest problem is that when you're tagging a big quantity of pictures you sometimes start to forget what tags you used for what, so you might end up with multiple tags for the same thing. It's not a Hydrus problem per say.

yep into the trash it goes alongside all the others
how is this a good file explorer when you can just click your way around?
we have had all the features I need on unix in the 80s but somehow most of them are impossible to translate to gui.. fuck the devs behind them, fucking worthless scums making our lives harder for no reasons.

It's one use case, raster image editing.

What image editing can you do in Photoshop and Lightroom that is not available in Krita?
>>
>>108229886
Things you can do only or by far the best in:
Lightroom:
>importing and editing camera RAW files
>performing camera-specific adjustments and lens corrections
>applying photography-oriented visual presets
>versioning, side-by-side editing, color proofing
>organizing and filtering photo collections
Photoshop:
>most advanced image layering, masking and compositing
>most advanced raster filtering and transformations
>most advanced vector drawing/tracing (there are better tools for that, but out of those three PS wins)
>most advanced retouching of photos (for glamour shots etc., integrates with Lightroom for RAW pre-processing)
Krita:
>drawing furry porn
Not sure if you're so ignorant or just pretending to be retarded.

That's you being retarded and not using recent tags tab. Why are you even making up tags when you can just copy the hundreds of boorus and other sites that already have perfect tags? Do like the other anon said and use siblings if you see similar ones.

I just ran it last night again
I really wish I could use my gpu on it. I guess CPU is good enough though. I've tried using it a couple times for like a year but it's really as bit of a poweruser tool, I'm just a little layperson that doesn't know much about local models and all this stuff. Not popular on here or anywhere so it is a bit difficult to use.
I kinda need to think of a good workflow to use it too. It makes no sense to waste valuable saucenao api searching stuff that have already been adequately tagged. Same for stuff that isn't anime related.
The biggest thing that all of these need is a way to custom tag images very easily.

like i should be able to as i go though these and notice an error like this be able to quickly and easily add a tag for Ran_Shibuki and remove ichigo and kiriya from it, like very very easily.
because no matter what you're going to have to do custom tagging for most of everything, quality of automated tagging really still just not there yet.

actually, there is a way for you to access it now without me having to make a another repo

if this looks good to you, go back to before this fire-eggs nocoder started tweaking a fork of 36g rain tagger. the commit from August 16, 2025

This is the main weakness of booru systems :- tagging is the most effective way of managing a large library of files, but the initial tagging process is hell, especially if you are just trying to manage you own library locally. AI tagging systems solve the problem, but incur too much of a compute requirement/dependency increase to warrant them (I just want to run the booru on a shitty server). The best way I found to alleviate this with the booru I made (pic related) was 1: support importing media/txt file pairs and download tag info using something like gallery-dl and 2: making a non-AI autotagger system (the autotagger uses "rule association learning" if anyone is interested). But even the autotagger has weaknesses and starting/converting a library is still a bitch.

There's far too much of that shit going around. Back when I moved from Windows 7 to 10 it was like a whiplash seeing all my favorite software going paid. And it would be really small or niche shit too, going paid.
