This might give you enough curiosity to come back here and read the rest on how to combine those features to an efficient method.įurther more, here is a 45 minute talk I gave at Linuxtage Graz 2018 presenting the workflows and tools mentioned in this article: ( alternative video hosted on ) It doesn't explain my method at all but it should transport some aspects from a practical view.

If you don't want to read this long article about my method now, you might find motivation to do so afterwards by taking a look at this online demo of some features of the tools involved. Advanced information retrieval features that you can't find anywhere.A set of self-written tools that minimizes my personal effort as.My method consists of multiple ingredients: However, the method described is not about image files only. I'm using digital photographs as an use-case example. This article is explaining the concept I developed and which I am using on a daily basis. Scientific results from peers, my own findings and methods from this PhD project had a huge influence on the method I developed afterwards. For a couple of years, I was a professional researcher for this topic, writing a PhD thesis on a new file management method that tries to overcome the limitations of the desktop metaphor of our desktops. I changed my personal file management concept multiple times in order to minimize file curation effort, maximize consistency and retrieval success. I'm somebody who has spent many years with personal organization schemes. Looking for a specific file is a task that often does not result in finding the information or it requires some level of frustration. This does not scale well when it comes to retrieval success.

People are collecting files on their computers and using folder hierarchies that grow organically. Managing digital files is mostly done in an ad hoc way.
