Thanks for the reply. I’m going to look at photo rapid downloader, and pull up darktable.

I’m so out of my comfort zone, I was just wondering if people knew of an obvious way of dealing with media. My idea is to be able to edit videos/pictures from <date> to <date>, or call up all videos/pictures with a tag that labels things like people, place, why, et. al. I don’t think it’ll take very long to get something working just using a quick script, I’ve done similar before. 99% of the time I find I like my solution better, but then there are things like Calibre. Sure I could, and have, hacked up something to manage my books, but it wouldn’t be as good or as easy as just using Calibre.

This is what I was going to do. I didn’t know if there was someway of doing it “better”. In lieu of some obvious way of doing it, I was going to do the naming file format, and then write a quick little preview/tagging script.

Mine is best for me. I started with an rpm based distro in the late 90s. I tried out gentoo when it first came out. Spent a little time, maybe a year, on Arch years and years ago. I go back to mine because it works, hasn’t caused an issue for me in years, and I don’t like having to dick around learning new systems anymore.
