>new year (2026)
>create new download folder called "2026"

how do you guys organize your download folder? I have 2014,2015,2016,2170 etc, simple but works for me imho ty
>>
The download folder is a temporay place in which downloaded files reside until I place them in respective correct directories.
>>

I have so many images in my downloads, I really do need to organize it at some point.
>>
>>107581756
>how do you guys organize your download folder?
I don't. I can already sort/filter by name/date/size, so why would I bother manually structuring them with less fidelity?
>>
>>107581824
I have literally over 9000 files in my downloads folder. It takes about half a minute to open it. That's why you bother organizing it.

this, to the point my download folder is just my desktop as to sort that shit out immediately

There is something horribly wrong with your system then.
>>
>>107581798
this, except i never bother to organize it
just sort by date whatever
>>
>>107581756
Every year I wipe my SSD and reinstall my OS. Not because I need to, not because this practice is recommended, but because I am ritualistically killing the man I was to make room for the man I'll become

I doubt frogs will still be a thing in 2170.

Ever since I started using Linux I've started actually naming the files because finding them is impossible without the thumbnail picker

If we talking about torrents download folder then it's just temporary. If we talking about browsers downloads then it's shit that I'll delete once every blue moon.
>>
>>107581756
I just download everything to its respective folder: vid, img or doc
>>
>>107581756
I download photos of this one chick on reddit that posts her nudes. But she posts a lot of duplicates. Do you guys know any software that checks for duplicate images/files?
>>
>>107581798
This. Sometimes it takes an indefinite amount of time for the second part of the sentence to manifest though

probably, kek

I expect my file manager to organize files by groups in the downloads folder to separate them by date.
The problem is, so far only Windows Explorer and Dolphin do that. Other file managers just fall behind. I don't know if Finder does it.
>>
>>107581756
I have like a billion nested folders scattered over multiple hard disks. I have trees like, deskop\junk\junk\junk. I have trees of junk folders. Years of history totally unsorted. I can't find anything.
>>
>>107582886
Hydrus Network is perfect for this
>>
>>107581798
You're right, but I also pose a question: Why not just choose the correct directory when asked where to download to?
>>
i usually end up at one point removing everything.

correct but also my Download folder is basically my f95zone folder as of lately

Hey frog, Breeze or Qogir? You have one minute to answer.
>>
>>107581756
lol no.
My download folder has over a decade's worth of accumulated memes, and I'm never gonna organise it.
>>
>>107583329
Thank you!

This.

It's the worst when I'm lazy and take too long to move them... but when I do it's very satisfying.

>>107581756
You're supposed to always sort by the TYPE of porn you fucking retard
for example
>rape
>gangbang
>bondage
>femboy
Your penis will thank me later
>>
>>107581798
This except there's over 120,000 images in it that I WILL sort one day..

I keep everything tidy on my PC by sticking it all into my Sort Later folder.

tired of people saying frogposter
all because of some right-wing nonsense
that's Pepe and he's classic 4chan
since like 2007 or so
that's the end of my vent/rant
just had to say it once someplace
thank you
>>
>>107587153
No, feelsgoodman and sadfrog are classic 4chan. SmugPepe is based on SmugWojak, so it's just as cancerous.
>>
>>107581756
I wait until my current saveslop folder hits 2000 files then I make a new one with some random keysmash name. Been doing this since 2008 and next to nothing is actually organized.
>>
>>107585911
I'm not really a fan of AI tools, but I think it'd be the only option for mass image sorting on levels like ours. At this point I don't even want to throw folders into Visipics to look for duplicates because there's so fucking much shit to sort through.

everything on desktop.

When desktop gets full, I create a folder called "old" and put everything in it and then start accumulating on desktop again.

When i need something from the past I use file search or just explore my nested old directories until something jogs my memory as to how deep it should be.
>>
>>107582624
Thank you based God.
>>
>>107581756
I create new folders everynow and then just to dump the files I have scattered all over my desktop and name them after the current month-year. I then move them to another nameless folder also on my desktop where other subfolders named similarly reside.
