Organizing 2D and 3D? Anonymous 01/07/2021 (Thu) 16:38:38 Id: 4280d7 No. 15079
Do you only save 2D to Hydrus, or both 2D and 3D? How do you go about organizing different file types? For example, 2D Photos, 3D Photos, Books/Doujins, etc. I've stayed away from archiving any types of Books/Doujins into Hydrus, and keeping that into Calibre. As for videos, anything full length (stuff you wouldn't find on Boorus) I just run it through Jellyfin. So I guess personally my biggest thing is 2D and 3D photos/short videos/animations. Right now, I just have them seperated with a tag. Filetype:2D, Filetype:3D. I have my import folders seperate (3D folder and 2D folder) and they import with that tag automatically if stuff goes in there. Is there a more organized way? I can't say I'm entirely a fan of having both 3D and 2D in the same database. 99.9% of my 3D stuff I don't even tag, it's only there so I can view it. So it feels useless to be in hydrus. Opinions?

>>15079 I'm fairly new to Hydrus myself. If your using Hydrus to view your 3D but not tagging it, so what, no big deal if you still like the software and UI for simply browsing images. On the upside, all your images are stored in one repo, not all spread out everywhere, so you have one place to manage them all. I would say that's worth it right there. My only recommendation would be to maybe find some general tags you could use for your 3D stuff, to be able to sort that easier. As your collection grows, seems like it would be easier to search and sort in the future. Go with what workflow seems to work for you.

I have an extremely small amount of 3D in hydrus, I tag it with "series:real life". I have to manually tag it, but since I can count the amount of 3D I have on one hand it's not too much of a pain. I manage my anime, manga, and books outside of Hydrus, but I keep doujins in it. I tag doujins differently from images, kind of like how exhentai has different tags than boorus do. One of the best parts of Hydrus is the archive/delete filter. I regularly go through my archive and trim the fat, there's a ton of images that look good the first time but that you realize you would never actually jerk it to. If you have tons of files that cannot be automatically tagged, I recommend doing so to make it easier on you.
